From the smell of your grandmother’s hair oil, to the excitement of drinking naariyal paani on a hot day, coconuts have been an integral part of our childhood. Tropical, fragrant and utterly delicious, coconuts have a wide variety of uses. Since we love using natural ingredients, we’ve scouted out 5 products that incorporate this tropical ingredient into our beauty routine.
