Thanks for your reply. Yep I am a convert well and truly now, love it. I use it in my hair as a weekly overnight treatment, massage it in, then tie my hair up and put a shower cap on and let it absorb. In the morning I rinse it out and then shampoo and condition as normal. I have naturally very curly hair, so it is drier by nature. I had it cut into a short bob recently though, so now I straighten every day, which adds to the dryness, so the oil balances that out well. Haha, yes it froze, I was so suprised, I didn't realize it's freezing rate was so low (or high lol). Mine is in a bottle which males it impossible to get out like that, but I put it in the sink with some warm water to thaw a bit Yep it's pure organic, it smells nice but not strong, it reminds me of coco it cookies; coconuty but very oily smelling too. It makes my skin so soft and it absorbs so quickly, it's awesome. Df thinks I'm crazy for essentially lathering myself in cooking oil, but it works.
I use it as a cleanser, moisturiser and deodorant. It's one of the best gentle products for removing mascara. It's great as an all over body moisturiser. I've used it as a deodorant, but it's not an anti-perspirant and sometimes it doesn't last through the day, so I have a back up as well.
It's antibacterial and antifungal, so should be great for multiple uses. I often mix it with lavendar oil and massage it in to help me sleep.
Oh coconut oil brings back so many childhood memories!
My mums Indian and I remember her always using it on her hair when I was little, mine too. We'd keep it in for about 30mins before washing, I used to hate the oily feeling and the smell made me gag (can't stand coconut smell, yes I am weird ) I don't use the stuff anymore but it must of paid off as people always comment on how shiny and silky my hair is. Mum also used it on her hands and feet before bed, like moisturiser.
Re: Pure coconut oil, how do you use it?
