I use for lots of things, it's a great make up remover to boot. I'm leery of eating too much of it as it's a medium-chain triglyceride and for some people (not all), it plays havoc on their blood cholesterol. It must be the way some people metabolize it. I make soap and coconut oil is about 25% of my recipe (it makes for a soap with nice big bubbles, on top of being moisturizing).
I've never had any go rancid, so there's definitely something wrong if you have a batch do that. I have some that I use strictly for my soap and have been hacking away at that block for years and it still has no smell (just nice and clean). |

NOT a health ruse, just one we are late to discover. Coconut oil....particularly organic oil is not so much an "oil" (liquidy state) as it is like butter cold from the refrigerator. I keep a jar on the kitchen counter to fry some things, fabulous on french toast for instance. It can be used in the hair as well as on the face, hands, body, feet. Truly a healthy, miraculous product for all today.:thumbup:

I use it in my hair about once a month. It gets it all conditioned and soft and shiny!

I love cooking with it. We keep a small container in the bathroom for my little grandaughter for when she hurts down there from a rash. Lots of great things on the market that don't include drugs.

My husband uses coconut oil for his eczema. He loves it!
