Coconut (Was RE: Frankincense update)

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam,

 

A quick note to you about the coconut thing ... coconut OIL is NOT

drying to skin .. coconut oil SOAP IS drying to the skin ... See,

coconut oil itself, in its plain ol' oil form, is a very good

moisturizer. I am especially from of the unrefined virgin coconut oil.

When it is saponified and made into soap that is another story, and here

is why - the coconut oil soap cleans SO effectively and is so good at

degreasing that it cleans almost too effectively for the purpose of skin

cleaning (it degreases us too well , unless it is blended with other

oils and the soap is superfatted, etc ... so don't worry about coconut

oil itself drying out your skin

<snipped> .... I have since put the frank in a

mixture of jojoba oil and coconut oil - although now I find out

from my soap group that coconut oil can be drying to the skin, so

will have to go back to the sink for this one

Yeah! Thank you for that information Chris. I'm loving the affects

of my organic, extra virgin coconut oil on my face and sure didn't

want to think it was drying. Appreciate the info.
