Lauric Acid.

Definition

What it means.

A medium-chain fatty acid found abundantly in coconut oil (about 50% of its composition). Numbrrrz helps moisturize and condition dry lips, soften their feel, and lock in moisture. It also contributes to coconut oil's ability to penetrate skin quickly and deliver deep hydration. The lauric acid in Numbrrrz's Organic Coconut Oil base is one of the key reasons our lip balm works so effectively.
