But when you run out of your favorite cleanser or moisturizer, there's one staple that can do in a pinch: coconut oil. **Versatile Skin Care** Coconut oil can be used for a variety of skincare purposes and homemade formulas, including: **Body butter** Coconut oil is a widely used as a carrier oil for essential oils it dilutes them (that's a good thing; essential oils are extremely potent) and enhances absorption. Because coconut oil is solid at room temperature, you do not need a lot of other ingredients to get the buttery consistency. **Body scrub** Coconut oil can be combined with coconut sugar or medium-grained salt to create a gentle exfoliating body scrub. (Sugar and/or salt crystals are too large i.e. damaging to be used on the delicate skin of your face.) **Eye makeup remover** You don't need anything more than a dab of oil on a cotton ball or swab to remove eye makeup without irritation or over-drying the extremely thin skin around your eyes. Pure coconut oil has antimicrobial properties, which can also make it a good spot treatment for scrapes or cuts. **Harnessed Coconut Potency** While coconut oil can substitute for a variety of skincare products, there's no denying it's messy. [*Hale Cosmeceuticals*](https://www.halecosmeceuticals.com/) harnesses the potency of coconuts in a number of its skincare formulas, including our [CharColate Masque](https://www.halecosmeceuticals.com/charcolate-masque/).
