Hi Berni, this is really interesting. I never thought about coconut oil. You are full of good ideas!! Now I will research where to buy it to try it. Because I have learned in the short time I have been reading your blog that if you say so I believe it. You do such good research and then share with the rest of us.

I make all of our own oils ... for years now. Bought lotions all have water and if water is added preservatives must also be added!

Coconut oil has a good shelf life too!

I use it for cooking and soap making but found the articles interesting about using it directly on the skin ... I'll start adding it to some of my potions. Another good, but stinky oil, for the skin is Neem Oil. Really helps cracked heels heal and quick.

I want some!

I seem to recall my Mom had some stuff when I was a kid -like a balm or pumice type thing -with coconut oil in it and it was reputed to be really great for rough patches on your skin -like heels and elbows in particular. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the stuff but my Mom said it was really great. Where's that stuff now -when I really could use some on my heels especially?
