4.0 out of 5 stars Great for cooking & moisturizing! February 21, 2008

Although I like Jarrow's unrefined coconut oil best for eating by the spoonful (I take 2tbs/day), I find Spectrum's consistency better for cooking and using as a hair and body moisturizer. Also, it's great that it doesn't require refrigeration. Jarrow's does.

I've used coconut oil for about two months now and love the flavor (esp with chicken & vegetables). It's also AMAZING used topically. I use it after bathing and also as a facial moisturizer before bed. In the short time that I've used it, it's made such a huge difference as a moisturizer (much better than the various expensive store-bought products I've used for years). I haven't felt increased energy with it yet, but then again I juice daily so maybe the energizing benefits are disguised. =]

5.0 out of 5 stars My first time trying coconut oil May 11, 2011

By Rosemarie VINE™ VOICE

I just tried this oil for the first time the other day. I was surprised how silky the texture was. I cannot understand why everyone is putting it on their hair and ignoring the healing properties of this magnificent oil. Sure it helps your hair and nails and skin but look what it can do for you by helping what it does on the inside:

*Promotes your heart health
*Promotes weight loss, when needed
*Supports your immune system health
*Supports a healthy metabolism
*Provides you with an immediate energy source
*Keeps your skin healthy and youthful looking
*It helps restore your thyroid to good working order and much much more

I used it on a cut on my lip that would not go away and in the morning there was much improvement.
It is also excellent for your dog, my dog went crazy when I gave him a taste, but be careful give it to him very slowly over time to avoid die back. Only give your dog about 1/4 tsp for a few weeks until he is used to it then start to add a little more, big dogs 1 Tablespoon and little dogs 1 tsp. I kills fungus and is antibacterial.
Use it for cooking but so not use on high heat or it will destroy the enzymes.
I love this product it has a nice smooth texture and soft flavor and I lovely fragrance.
I just ordered a different brand from Amazon to see if there is any that is better, but I don't think you can get much better than this one and the price is right, and no shipping cost what more could you want, I paid more for this and I had to travel to get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Last forever! More than a year for skin February 17, 2012

By Shani

I have had this jar for about 15 months. I use it in skin product recipes and a lot of the time just use it by itself. It smells just like clean coconuts and melts at just the right temp. I keep the windows open a lot so this has been above the 76 degree melting point and under it about a million times. Still holds up great in the jar. A little greasy at first but that is with all oils. It absorbs all the way into the skin in about 45 minutes. Works great on the face. I have had acne in the past and this doesn't agitate the pimples. Actually helps heal and prevent pimples it seems. Maybe because it is antibacterial. Great in the summer, seems like I need something heavier in the winter. Also works good on my pregnant belly. I alternate this with other natural oils. No stretch marks so far and I am already past my due date. Hope you enjoy the product as much as I do.
