Until a member pipes in - I searched Google and the "AI" response...
"...Burnett's Cocoaine was a hair tonic created by Joseph Burnett in 1857, known for its primary ingredient, coconut oil, and marketed as a remedy for hair loss. The product gained popularity in the 19th century and was sold for over 45 years, becoming one of the most successful hair preparations of its time, with bottles often found in archaeological digs today..."
