Can I use pure coconut oil as a sunscreen or for sunburn relief?
Absolutely! Pure coconut oil for face acts as a mild natural sunscreen by blocking 20% of harmful UV rays. While it's not a substitute for commercial SPF creams, it can provide everyday protection. In case of sunburn, virgin coconut oil is soothing due to its anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties.
The pure cold pressed coconut oil from Truveda is ideal for this use because it contains no additives. It helps reduce redness, heal damaged skin, and restore hydration quickly. Applying virgin coconut oil for skin after sun exposure can prevent peeling and calm irritation effectively.
