PART 1 — Coconut Oil: The Ultimate Natural Barrier for Swimmers & Surfers
Why Coconut Oil Is a Game-Changer for Water Lovers
Coconut oil is one of the most effective natural ingredients for preventing damage to the hair and skin — especially from chlorine, salt water, and high heat.
When Active COCO founders started their wellness journey 25+ years ago, Michelle and Katelyn started using coconut oil on EVERYTHING - from skin, to hair to smoothies. It is one of natures magic powerhouses.
It has certainly gained traction over the years and become more of a household ingredient. Here are just a few reasons we made coconut oil a key ingredient in our Pre-Splash Spritz:

Key Benefits
-
Creates a Hydrophobic Shield
Coconut oil coats each strand, reducing how much chlorinated or salty water can penetrate your hair. -
Prevents Protein Loss
Studies show coconut oil penetrates deeply, reinforcing the hair cuticle. -
Reduces Dryness & Frizz
Keeping moisture sealed in will keep hair softer after swim or surf sessions. -
Heat-Friendly Protection for Sauna Use
Coconut oil withstands high temperatures and protects against dryness during sauna sessions.

Perfect For
Swimmers, surfers, sauna regulars, kids, curly hair, color-treated hair, and anyone with dryness or breakage.
