Feel like a beach babe when you try on these products

1/16

Reminiscent of tropical getaways and that #beachlife, the coconut is an all-star when it comes to health benefits. Its flesh is rich in healthy, saturated fats; its juice packed with fiber, minerals and vitamins and its oil an absolute godsend for all our beauty needs. Used for everything from cleansing to moisturising to treating damaged hair, you can find just about any beauty hack involving coconut oil. However, if you are squeamish about applying pure coconut oil to your hair or body, you can opt for any of these 15 coconut-infused products instead.
