Guest guest Posted August 19, 2000 Report Share Posted August 19, 2000 No, the order will be here on Wednesday and I will start shipping at the end of the week. There are still over several outstanding payments so I had to order the first half and will order the second half as soon as all payments have arrived. I will send an update to everyone in the co-op soon. Stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Hi everyone, just rec'd some virgin coconut oil and it's a solid. For some reason I thought this would be a liquid oil. I bought this to use with a salt scrub recipe. Anyone use this oil and how did you like it? What did you use it in? Thanks for all of your input. Have a wonderfull day. Leanna in Alberta.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Leanna I love the stuff and use it in scrubs and lotions and creams. I guess you could use it in soap but what a waste that would be. It is absorbed quickly in the skin and leaves a very soft feel without being greasy. I warm it to get it out of the bottle and keep it in the fridge. to keep it fresh. My reg. coconut oil is solid at room temp. here too. You will like I am sure.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Thanks so much, Chris! I made a foot balm last night- which called for reg. coconut oil, which I discovered was rancid- and so used the VCO. The foot balm is nice, but I must say that I have a hard time with the greasy feel. Tried the balm on one foot and my regulare homemade lotion on the other. Not much difference! I sure love the light smell of the VCO, though. What do you think about using it in place of my regular mango butter in my lotion? Would it be about the same for absorption? Thanks for your help. I sure appreciate it. Leanna in Alberta. Re: Re:virgin coconut oil > Hi everyone, just rec'd some virgin coconut oil and it's a solid. For some reason I thought this would be a liquid oil.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Leanna I think it would be about the same. I don't get a greasy feel with it at all. You need to give it a little more time to be absorbed by your skin. My bestest lotion recipe is medowfoam, vco and emu. When you put it on you feel a little greasy but five minutes later all you are is very soft. I have hard working hands, I just canned 50 lbs of tuna. I bet I washed my hands 50 times a day for three days. It worked wonders. Chris Re: Re:virgin coconut oil > > > > Hi everyone, just rec'd some virgin coconut oil and it's a solid.

I am originally from the west coast of b.c. and your comment makes me homesick! Have a great evening. Leanna in Alberta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 The coconut oil is particularly supposed to help with the HHV6 virus as I recall. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peggomatic@... I have been using virgin coconut oil on and off. I haven't found it to be dramatically effective, but I have noticed that ANY raw oil -- the coconut oil, flax oil, or olive oil -- seems to pick me up when I'm feeling particularly crappy. The coconut oil is really tasty, and that's an added benefit since so few things are. Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I use coconut oil for my skin, taking it internally and applying externally. I also note an increase in energy right after taking the oil. As I understand it, coconut oil is the only oil that does not need to pass through the digestive system absorbing directly into the blood stream from the stomach. Be sure you get a good grade. It should smell and taste like coconuts. anne > I have been using virgin coconut oil on and off.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hi, Can anyone tell me whether natural additives to virgin coconut oil such as vanilla/ other essential oils results in any issues with reduced shelf-life or toxicity? (for use on the skin only) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
