This ingredient is also used in food, so it adds to total exposure (source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration). Some verification programs or product labels may restrict its use unless the maker supplies safety data (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review / industry guidance). If you are unsure — for example, if you have a known coconut allergy — avoid products with this ingredient and talk with a healthcare provider.
