My new obsession
When I first received this product, I was very confused as it was a completely clear liquid ... not solid, white or viscous at all as other reviewers have mentioned. After 3 days, it started to solidify slightly (see pics); however, I decided to take matters into my own hands and stick it in the fridge -- that did the trick. The oil is now a semi-solid translucent white that liquefies to a clear oil when warmed or applied to skin.
I do not use this for cooking. Instead, I bought this in hopes it would help my very dry, itchy skin .. and I've already started to feel results. I slather this all over when I get out of the shower, and it absorbs enough where it doesn't stain my clothes. I also use it to remove make-up, including mascara, and it works better than any *actual* make-up remover I've purchased. I then slather it on my face before bed and wake up with dewy feeling skin. I even worked it though my hair, wore a terry cloth turban to bed, and shampooed in the morning and my hair felt great.
As an added benefit, coconut oil claims to have natural anti-fungal properties, so I'm hoping this keeps my recurring tinea versicolor in check. I can't even imagine the number of benefits of using this product I am missing, but I'll be keeping this in my arsenal long-term.
PS - I've heard a lot of people in FB groups talking about how Coconut oil smells bad, so I was worried about that ... but this smells DIVINE. My 4 year old even loves to use it and said "I smell like cookies and cream!"
