Coconut Oil: Highly Moisturising that slows the loss of water from the skin by forming a barrier on the skin’s surface.

Vitamin E Oil: Applying vitamin E to your skin helps protect delicate skin from damage due to its antioxidant properties. It enhances moisturisation so It's also extremely hydrating – it's both a 'humectant' and an 'emollient' – so it helps your skin absorb water and traps it within the skin too.
