Nevin et al from University of Kerala examined the skin wound healing properties of topical (local) application virgin coconut oil in animals.Skin wound injury model in rats was used.

Examination of skin wounds indicated a much rapid epithelization and healing of the wounds in the coconut oil group. This was accompanied by a greater collagen cross-linking and higher turnover of collagen.The level of antioxidant enzyme activities was higher at 10 days and returned to normal by day 14 in the coconut oil treated group.
