Sodium Hydrogenated Cocoate
Coconut Derived
Coconut-derived ingredients are made from coconut oil or other parts of the coconut, often processed into surfactants, emulsifiers, emollients, or fatty acids. They're widely used in cleansers and moisturizers, but may be a concern for those with coconut allergies or sensitivities.
Can worsen Dry Skin
Some ingredients have the potential to dry out skin, especially in higher concentrations or for those with already dry or sensitive skin. Not everyone will experience dryness from them. How your skin reacts can depend on the product, concentration, and your unique skin type.
Can worsen Keratosis Pilaris
Some ingredients are known to be potential triggers for keratosis pilaris. However, triggers vary greatly between individuals. Keep a diary to identify your personal triggers and work with a dermatologist to develop a gentle, effective routine.
