  Ingredient Notes

  Nearly half of coconut oil — 47% — is lauric acid, a C12 chain Malassezia feeds on readily. Its antifungal reputation rests on octanoic acid, which accounts for only 7.1%. Fractionated coconut oil is a separate ingredient, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, with the lauric acid distilled out.
