Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
kawani coconut oil has been the ONLY thing to work on my youngest's eczema (that and taking CLO).
But it wasn't until allison mentioned using it as her facial moisturizer that I decided to clather some on and it feels lovely. I have very oily acne prone skin but I'm tired of paying for pricey but chemical laden stuff. So several weeks ago I started washing my face with honey and now I'm putting coconut oil as a moisurizer. Oh and I too tried scrambling some eggs in half butter half coconut oil and the taste was not tooo overpowering.

Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
Oh another thing I just realized when Iw as using it... usually when I put stuff on my face, I usually skip my lips and eyes. With the CO I can put it on both (eyelids I mean) and my lips are ALWAYS chapped and dry so the CO is awesome for them!

Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
My Nutiva CO came today I opened the jar and got soooo excited at the incredible nutty aroma that drifted from the container. It was rock hard from its travels here in a cold UPS truck, so I scraped some out with a spoon to taste it...YUMMMMM! It was what I had hoped for with the TT CO! It was nutty tasting...and my DH even loved the taste.
By dinner time it was much softer and so I used it as butter on my sprouted grain bagle...OH WOW! TEN times better than butter! Then after dinner and bathing the kiddos, I slathered my little eczema infested booger boy down from head to toe...I can't wait to see how his skin feels in the morning! I could not believe how the oil soaked in right away and did not leave my hands feeling greasy nor heavy!!!! I LOVE the fact that I can slather him, not have it burn and have it so natural and yummy, that kissing him after he has been slathered is a sweeeeeet experience and tastes good Tomorrow I am altering my wipes solution and replacing the vegetable glycerin with CO instead My mom LOVES it already as well and has agreed to go in 1/2 with me and buy a gallon of it

Re: Talk to me about coconut oil
I cooked my egg with it this morning & I can't taste it. I put the leftover from the spoon all over my hands.
