When you spend a lot of time in the ocean, your hair and skin can get thrashed. Beach and coastline dwellers evolve their skin and hair care through daily experimentation, but when you’re on vacation, you don’t have time to bring a lot of products along to test out what works and what doesn’t.
Pack just two Coconut Smuggler products on your next beachy trip, and you won’t have to worry.
You may notice that after daily immersion in salt water, your hair and scalp feel scrubbed of their natural oils and moisture, resulting in a dry, tangled mess. Feeling Nauti Hair and Skin Serum is a spray-on, pH-balancing serum that restores much of what your hair and skin need. It’s reef-safe and contains MCT (medium chain triglycerides) oil, coco-caprylate/caprate, fragrance, coconut oil, baobab oil, passionfruit seed oil, avocado oil, aloe vera leaf extract, and vitamin E. You can use it as a protectant by spraying it on your hair before going in the water, and as a conditioning treatment by spraying it on your hair and letting it set for a few minutes before shampooing and conditioning as usual.
Doing triple duty as a hair detangler, leave-in conditioner, and post-sun skin lotion, Ashore Everything Lotion works with your skin and hair without relying on damaging chemicals and plastic packaging. This reef-safe formula contains coconut oil, witch hazel water, cetearyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, jojoba seed oil, aloe vera leaf juice, rose water, white willow bark extract, vitamin E, neem seed oil, rosemary leaf extract, xantham gum, polysorbate 80, alcohol, phenoxyethanol, tetrasodium glutamate diacetate, and fragrance. Use it as a leave-in hair conditioner after being in the water, and also as a skin lotion.
Made by an ocean-loving hairstylist who wanted to provide a natural saltwater hair protectant for her clients, Coconut Smuggler is a custom hair and skin care formula that helps protect against intense climates and incorporates nostalgic scents of a beachy summer. The products contain natural ingredients, are reef-safe certified, have eco-friendly packaging, and a partnership with 4ocean pledges to clean 1 pound of plastic from the ocean for every $60 of product sold.
Feeling Nauti Hair and Skin Serum lists for $30, and Ashore Everything Lotion lists for $22, both on the Coconut Smuggler site. Buy them separately of together, in The Duo, for $52.
