13. Moisturizes

Coconut oil has the property of retaining moisture effectively, so it gets used for keeping all kinds of surfaces moist and supple for a long time. This is because it can retain its characteristics for a long time before getting spoiled. You can apply it to your hair to keep your scalp and hair moist, or you can apply it on your face and body to keep them moist in the heat of summer. As it is edible, you can also use it on your lips to prevent them from cracking in winter or summer months.
