surfactant (saponified)

Coconut oil is the non-volatile plant kernel oil of the coconut palm. The coconut has degreasing and cleansing properties and lathers readily, which is why cleansing agents are frequently derived from coconut oil and it is such a common surfactant. Coconut oil is one of the heaviest and fattest of the plant oils, which makes it more emollient than other plant oils, but also possibly more comedogenic. For this reason, coconut oil is best for cleansers and body creams. See natural moisturizing factors.
