    ^^^ My skin breaks out really badly if exposed to coconut oil. Olive is much better.

    I've also never heard of this 'pockets' thing. Looked it up apparently it's a measurement commonly done by periodontists to monitor the progrssion of gum disease. I wil ask my dentist about this next visit.

    Also wondering about aluminum-free baking soda...where's aluminum coming from in NaHCO3? I just looked at my boxes (I *heart* baking soda), and none lists anything but sodium bicarbonate...

    Coconut oil is the bomb! I'd like to know more uses for it...right now, I use it mostly in food.

    Coconut oil for shaving? I can't wait to try it. Does it work ok for the bikini area too? Or best for the legs?

    I was wondering the same thing ... I've never seen any other ingredients listed.

    Also ... what do you use it for that you like it so much? I've never really used it for anything other than making my fridge and freezer smell fresh...

    I LOVES me some coconut oil. I use Pure Fiji prodcuts cause they are loaded with it. It's the best way to get all silky smooth .

    I only use baking soda (aluminum-free) as an exfoliant when I wash my face.

    Me too. I went looking for aluminum-free baking soda and had no luck. Wrong store?

    It works fantastic on the bikini area also. And it really does make your skin smell great!

    omg .... I've had a bad sunburn since last Friday and I'm peeling and have cracked skin no matter how much I try to stay moisturized with aloe, etc .....so I broke out the coconut oil ....it's helped so much! The peeling is less painful and my skin is staying more hydrated. i wish I had thought of it earlier on.

    You are sexy. You type with a french accent... If that makes sense.

    I saturated my hair with coconut oil and left it in overnight- when I washed it out completely, the oil had lifted extra pigment out of my hightlighted hair strands, making me look much lighter-haired. Also unfortunately the hair is more brittle- I bought Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner and it fixed the dry, brittle issue. The whole lifting of extra pigment was a surprise, though.

    Clean clothes, exfoliate skin, brush my teeth, add to your shoes to stop a funky smell, etc...
