Oil INCI names / Coconut oil

Coconut oil INCI name

Coconut oil has two INCI names depending on what you make with it: it keeps its botanical name in a lotion or balm, and takes a saponified name in cold-process soap, where the oil reacts with lye and the oil itself is no longer in the finished bar.

In lotions, balms, leave-on and rinse-off productsCocos Nucifera Oil
In cold-process soap (saponified with NaOH)Sodium Cocoate
Superfat share in soap (unreacted)Cocos Nucifera Oil
Also entered ascoconut, virgin coconut oil, coconut oil 76, 76 degree coconut oil

Glossary citation: Sodium Cocoate #23026; Cocos Nucifera Oil #6140 (Commission Decision (EU) 2019/701 on EUR-Lex).
