Coconut oil
Coconut oil is effective in providing moisture to the skin. Coconut oil contains fatty acids that help in providing moisture to the skin and treat dry skin. Random clinical trials were performed to check the effect of virgin coconut oil on children’s skin. The results showed that using coconut oil for four weeks improved atopic dermatitis symptoms better than mineral oil.
