Coconut oil may have exploded in popularity a couple years ago, but the trendy ingredient seems to show no signs of slowing down. The multipurpose ingredient not only offers intense hydration (making it ideal for things like hair masks and body butters), but also works wonders as a deodorant base thanks to its natural, mild antibacterial properties. In short, the stuff has found its way into makeup, hair, and skin-care products, and even in 2019, we just can’t seem to get enough.
While it’s an incredible ingredient to slather on your bod for a glow that rivals Jennifer Lopez, coconut oil is an amazing ingredient to integrate into every step of your beauty routine. From luxe lip-and-cheek tints to a fan-favorite scalp treatment, here are the best coconut oil products to shop this season.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Glossier Haloscope
Get glowy skin in a matter of swipes with this fan-favorite highlighter stick from Glossier, made with nourishing coconut and castor seed oil for a hydrated glow amplified by real crushed rose quartz and topaz crystals.
Glossier Haloscope, $22, available at Glossier
RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek
A double-duty product doesn’t just save room in an already-crowded tiny handbag; it’s our way of justifying a splurge purchase knowing that we’re essentially getting two products in one. RMS Beauty’s luxe coconut oil-based products ranging from an excellent highlighter to a sheer, hydrating "un"-cover up are some of our favorite clean beauty buys ever, but their tinted pot rouge takes the cake.
RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek, $36, available at Verishop

Dandruff may not be chic, but this flake-eliminating Briogeo treatment sure is. Cooling peppermint and spearmint oils help soothe irritation and itchiness while Binchotan charcoal and coconut oil help remove dead skin cells.

Herbivore Coco Rose Coconut Oil Body Polish
