Coconut Oil has been demonstrated to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and fever-reducing properties, it has been shown to block out UV rays by up to 30% and has been used for healing wounds for 100s of years.

Three of the identified mechanisms behind these healing effects are:
1. Its ability to accelerate re-epithelialization.
2. It improves antioxidant enzyme activity,
3. It stimulates higher collagen cross-linking within the tissue being repaired.

Coconut oil has even been shown to work synergistically with traditional treatments to speed burn wound recovery.
