Is it safe to use coconut oil to help heal a nose piercing?

Hi
I just got my nose pierced (nostril, not septum) about a week ago and have been applying saline solution and coconut oil to the piercing to clean and heal it. Is this a good method of cleaning or should I be using something else?

Thanks
Alcohol and hydrogen peroxide both ruin new skin that is being created to heal the wound, so that’s not the best way to go.
