Brief Answer:
Use aloevera
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Any brand of coconut oil can be used.
It's better to use non perfumed ones and those available in pure form which freeeze in winters.
If you are confused with these you can go for aloevera cream.
It is safe and much more effective than coconut oil.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
