I bought a tub of it yesterday and I am obsessed! It smells sooo good and I am slathered in it today. My dry skin feels so much better!
-
Coconut oil is incredible.
-
Ditto! I don't like to eat anything with coconut per se, but I loe using coconut oil as a moisturizer! Makes me feel like it's summer! And I've gradually gotten accustomed to the flavor when I use it for cooking. Definitely going to use it on baby for diaper rashes!
-
I use it as a lotion as well because I heard it helps with KP, and I have horrible KP!
-
Has anyone used coconut butter? same thing or different?
@Alivoo01: ugh! me too! When I was younger, before I knew how common it was or what it was, I would scrub my arms so hard in the shower that they'd bleed.
-
@Alivoo01: Oooh, does it?! Mine has come back as a post pregnancy thing, I fear.
I haven't used it as a body product, but I love to cook with it. Use it everyday for my eggs.
-
Love coconut oil! I use it for cooking more than as a moisturizer, but that is a good idea @autumnlove:
@.twist.: Coconut butter is absolutely amazing - more like a peanut butter than coconut oil though.
-
We use it as a diaper cream for DD, and she has never had a real diaper rash. Every once in a while she has a diaper disaster and starts getting a little rashy, but within two diaper changes of treatment with coconut oil she is all better. Plus, it's cloth diaper friendly, and much cheaper than other diaper creams. A real win!
-
@Revel: oh hahaha. I meant more like body butter! I didn't even think there was coconut butter like butter butter... haha sorry!
-
@.twist.: Oops! That sounds pretty good too. I have a problem of plowing through jars of coconut butter so that's immediately where my mind went, hahaha.
-
@bree72: I will try it with my eggs tomorrow. Does the smell wear off when you cook with it?
-
We use it on C as diaper cream! I love how it smells, like baked goods or something.
-
@autumnlove: @shopaholic: @Alivoo01: i bought some coconut oil recently for diaper cream (although haven't used it yet, baby's not here), and was thinking about using it as a moisturizer but i was wondering--does it stain clothes? or do you have to wait a long time for it to absorb before putting clothes on? thanks!
-
@autumnlove: I think so. When it first heats up, it smells coconutty, but I think it dissipates. And I don't taste coconut at all. I don't smell it on the eggs, either. But it takes barely any to get the pan ready. Way less than butter or olive oil, if you ask me.
I pan fried duck breast in it the other day, and my husband had no idea.
-
@edelweiss: Nope! Mine didn't stain any of my clothing.
-
I have never used it, I should try it out.
-
I was using it for so long and loving it, but it started to irritate my skin! imagine that. I saw a dermatologist and he recommended I use something else. It smells so good!
-
I've been obsessed with coconut oil... I have all these little containers with CO around for different purposes. this morning my DD asked for some on her chapped lips
my mom passed on some VCO (virgin coconut oil) to me straight from the Philippines... it's so smooth; I love it!
-
okay...I'm totally lost. I think I missed something or got jipped. I bought a huge tub of coconut oil at walmart to make DIY brown sugar scrub for Christmas, and it was hard! It became liquid once I microwaved it, but then once all the scrub was in the jars, it hardened again.
Did I do something wrong?? I can't see how I could use it for anything until I warm it!
-
@sorrycharlie: I've only just started using it on baby's cradle cap and it is hard but it melts with body heat really easily.
-
I looove coconut oil! I use it at least 3 times a day!
-
@sorrycharlie: It's hard but the second you scoop some out into your hands it melts. I'm not sure it's the right thing for a scrub though, because depending on how cold it is in your house you really have to dig it out of the jar.
-
@blackbird: Oh no! I hope this doesn't happen to me!
