I am not familiar with using pure oils as moisturizer, so I thought I'd order coconut oil from soaper's choice. Since it is in bulk, at least I can cook with it too. Not sure what to do with 7lb of macadamia nuts oil. I should’ve used the word “moisturizer” not “lotion” as I plan to use pure coconut oil without adding anything to it.

When you say lotion are you using it neat or as part of a formulation. I would suggest Shea butter over coconut for this application if your using it neat, and definitly go unrefined shea. Macadamia nut oil is also incredible for the skin, it is a natural source of palmitoleic acid which is also found in whale, dolphin, and finally in human sebum. It absorbs right into skin, with minnamul rubbing , know as a vanishing oil.

Do you think it would be best to go with EVCO or will refined oil work well? I want to order some coconut oil to use as a lotion.

I've been wondering if EVOO was harmful when heated. What I get from this is that it's just not as good. I can live with that. Thanks!

If I wasn't buying it from a farmer directly, I would call the source to ask about what the animals eat and how they are treated. Mike at Columbus Foods (Soaper's Choice) is really helpful. And I type mostly while the kids are sleeping...sometimes while they're playing quietly (or loudly!). ;) Katie Kristie,

I was thinking of buying it from soaper's choice, but didn't know if that was a really healthy thing to cook with. I am working on gut health, and am trying to figure out animal fats-where to get them, how to store them etc. Thank you. I love your blog and am shocked how much you can type with children around. :) Have you done any research on tallow?

I get the refined organic coconut oil for about $18 for 7 lbs (that just went up from $15, sad), and the extra virgin organic coconut oil for $3.90/lb. Extra virgin means not heated above certain points,and it smells and tastes like coconuts. The healthiest. Refined is still pretty doggone healthy, but use it when you don't want the coconut flavor. Hope that helps! :) Katie I’m not really sure about the 76 degree vs. 92 degree coconut oil, to be honest – but notice that all the prices you list are for 50-ld tubs!

Maybe different products are available now than before but I thought you'd like to know that there's 3 refined options: Coconut Oil, 76 Degree, White ($1.61per pound) Coconut Oil, 92 Degree, White ($1.63per pound) Coconut Oil,Refined - QAI Certified Organic ($2.19 per pound) Do you know the differences between these? Which is the one that was mentioned in your original post? hola,
