A natural solution for beautiful brows
Coconut oil has long been praised for its numerous skin and hair care benefits, and its effectiveness for eyebrow care is no exception. If you want thicker, well-defined, and nourished brows, coconut oil may be the natural solution you’ve been looking for. This guide will explore the benefits, how to use it, and the best practices to maximize results.
7 Reasons Why You Should Be Using Coconut Oil on Your Eyebrows
1. Conditioning & Nourishment
Using coconut oil on your eyebrows can condition the hairs, keeping them soft, nourished, and glossy. The oil penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture.
2. Natural Brow Styling & Shaping
A small amount of coconut oil can act as a natural styling agent, helping to keep unruly brows in place while adding a healthy sheen.
3. Supports Eyebrow Growth
Many people ask, “Can coconut oil grow eyebrows?” While no miracle solution guarantees growth, coconut oil helps create an ideal environment for eyebrow regrowth by strengthening hair follicles and preventing breakage.
4. Anti-Aging Benefits
The skin around the eyebrows is delicate and prone to early signs of aging. Coconut oil contains antioxidants and collagen-boosting properties that help maintain youthful skin.
5. Soothing Sensitive Skin
Eyebrows are in a sensitive area of your face, and coconut oil is gentle and hypoallergenic, making it safe for those with sensitive skin.
6. Moisturization & Hydration
Coconut oil deeply hydrates both eyebrow hairs and the skin underneath, preventing flakiness and dryness.
7. Anti-Inflammatory & Healing Properties
Coconut oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce irritation after plucking, waxing, or threading your brows.
How to use coconut oil on eyebrows - a step by step guide
This quick and easy tutorial that explains how to use coconut oil on eyebrows will help you achieve some natural brow-chicka-wow-wow!
- Perform your evening facial cleansing ritual, making sure your eyebrows and skin surrounding them are free of makeup, dirt or impurities. (Exfoliating at this step would remove dead skin cells and boost product absorption too!).
- Take a Q-Tip or small cotton swab and cover it with a about a pea sized drop of coconut oil. (Learn how to liquefy or solidify your coconut oil here).
- Gently smooth the coconut oil over your eyebrows. Be sure to cover any areas of skin where eyebrows were over plucked if you would like to encourage regrowth in these areas.
- After covering both eyebrows with coconut oil, use the Q-Tip, cotton swab, or your clean finger to massage the coconut oil into the area gently using small circles.
- Rub any excess oil into the skin under your eyebrows and towards the corners of your eyes for an extra boost of plant-powered hydration, healing and anti-aging.
- Repeat daily. (We love this coconut oil hack as an evening ritual before bed on clean skin).
- You can also use an eyebrow brush and an even smaller dash of coconut oil to style and shape your brows too.

What type of coconut oil to use on eyebrows
We have explored how to use coconut oil on eyebrows, but now let’s discuss the type of coconut oil that works the best for your brows.
It is important to explain that not all coconut oil is created equal. The grade of coconut oil you choose directly dictates how well that oil will absorb into the skin and stimulate hair follicles, and how many natural benefits are left in the oil.
When coconut oil is heat-extracted, over processed, bleached and/or mixed with other potentially toxic ingredients, the density of its benefits drastically decreases.
Look for coconut oil that is:
- Certified organic
- Raw and unrefined
- Cold-pressed
- Extra-virgin
- Free of added chemical or synthetic ingredients
- Ethically sourced
- Organic coconut oil crafted by Organic Fiji
- USDA Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth
- Raw, unrefined, cold-pressed and extra-virgin
- Aromas derived from organic essential oils
- Mindful, minimalist and multifunctional
- No toxic chemicals, harsh ingredients or synthetics
- Made in USA

Common Myths vs. Facts About Coconut Oil on Eyebrows
Myth: Coconut oil makes eyebrows grow instantly.
Fact: While coconut oil nourishes hair follicles, results take time and depend on individual hair growth cycles.
Myth: Coconut oil clogs pores and causes acne around the brows.
Fact: Coconut oil is non-comedogenic and does not clog your pores. Coconut oil will lubricate your pores which enables pore decongestion with minimal pressure. Use sparingly if you have oily skin until your skin adjusts to your new routine
Best Practices for Application in Different Climates
Your environment can affect how coconut oil works on your eyebrows:
- Hot & Humid Climates: Use minimal oil to avoid a greasy feel.
- Cold & Dry Climates: Apply a slightly thicker layer for deeper hydration.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Begin with a light application of coconut oil as your skin adjusts to your new regimen. As your skin adjusts slowly increase the amount of coconut oil applied.

I think it can somewhat, but I’ve heard many reports that using coconut oil soap still resulted in benefits, so I don’t think all the healing factors are lost in the process.
