Can I use this coconut oil on my face, or is it better for body and hair?

Botanika Coconut Cosmetic Oil is a single-ingredient product that works well for body and hair care, but facial suitability depends on your skin type. The oil's occlusive nature can be too heavy for oily or blemish-prone skin, potentially clogging pores in some individuals. If you have normal to dry facial skin, a very small amount applied sparingly to cheeks or forehead may be tolerated, but those with acne history should patch test first or use it primarily on the body. For hair, apply a small amount to the ends to add slip and reduce straw-like texture caused by heat or sun exposure. The oil's lauric acid content helps coat hair strands, improving flexibility and shine without weighing down shorter hair lengths when used correctly. Always perform a patch test on your inner arm before full-face application, and discontinue if you notice increased oiliness or breakouts.
