I love coconut oil! It's good for humans too! Inside AND out! It's a fantastic moisturizer! I thought I read somewhere that you could use it on the fur too!

Can I use it on my skin-- I mean, does it absorb well, or does it stay greasy? I got a lot of sun at the beach, and I don't want my skin to dry out...

Health Benefits of Coconut Oil


I used to use it in the lotion bars and lip balms I used to make.It's a great oil for general moisturizing and serves as a protective layer, helping to retain the moisture in your skin. It also acts as a mild oil suitable for those with inflamed and irritated skin, and those with skin sensitivities. If I remember right it DOES absorb nicely into the skin, a lot like shea butter does.

LOL but at least it's safer than licking soap or chemical filled lotion!
