benefits of coconut oil – http://pinterest.com/pin/78250112248059464/

I personally use organic coconut oil for everything from cooking, skin care, hair care, makeup removal, cuticle conditioner, rough hands and feet. It absorbs quickly and has a pleasant natural smell and is lightweight. I also use it to condition woods and leathers.

A good substitute is light or extra virgin olive oil as well. Both do wonders. Keep in mind that both are a little pricy in one sense, but less pricy than commercial products at your department store, and definitely more healthy.
