A fine, cosmetic-grade powder made by spray-drying coconut milk (pressing coconut flesh with water). It concentrates lipids (MCFAs), natural sugars, amino acids, and minerals into an easy-to-use form for lotions, masks, soaps, shampoos, and bath soaks.

• Milk powder: water-dispersible, brings creamy emollience + humectant sugars.
• Water (juice): ultra-light hydration with electrolytes, no oil.
• Oil: pure lipid occlusion + shine.

It delivers a soft, cushioned feel, helps reduce tightness after cleansing, and leaves a silky, non-squeaky finish. Natural sugars act as humectants, while lipids lend comfort and glow.

In shampoos/conditioners it boosts creaminess, slip, and frizz control, enhancing combability and shine without heavy waxiness. On the scalp, it offers a soft, soothed feel when used in balanced formulas.

Yes—its slip + light occlusion help clump curls, reduce friction, and tame frizz. Pair with panthenol and conditioning polymers for bouncy, defined curls.

Typically low–moderate on comedogenic scales at cosmetic levels and very routine-dependent. Use gel-cream or milk-lotion textures if you’re breakout-prone and avoid over-layering heavy occlusives.

In some regions, coconut is classified as a tree nut—patch test if you’re sensitive. Also note: some commercial coconut milk powders include carriers/emulsifiers like maltodextrin or, rarely in food-grade versions, sodium caseinate (dairy). For a strictly plant-only cosmetic, check the INCI.

It adds luxurious, creamy lather and a silky post-rinse feel to soap bars and bath soaks. In milk baths, it dissolves into velvety water that leaves skin soft and comforted.

Yes—its creamy emollience + humectant sugars can help reduce roughness after coloring. Pair in conditioners with panthenol and cationic conditioners for slip without weight.

Hard water can leave hair feeling grabby; coconut milk powder in shampoos/conditioners adds creaminess and lubrication that helps offset mineral roughness. Rotate an occasional chelating wash if buildup is heavy.
