My wife uses it daily on her skin and doesn't have that problem. We use aloe for burns.

Different strokes, I guess.

It's a corruption of my first name. My grandpa has the same first name. When he was logging, his CB handle was "Frosty Bear", so I started using Frosty in his honor. If "Frosty" is taken somewhere when I need a username, I use Frosty Beav. ;)

Does she use it as part of a cream, lotion or does she soften the food grade stuff? I did it with the food grade that I use to cook with. It's definitely anti-microbial.

This stuff, straight:

We cook with a more processed version (still 100% coconut oil) as it has a more neutral flavor (don't want my eggs or hash browns to taste like coconut).

Uh huh! I have used that brand. So she uses the food grade. Okay.

I love how eggs taste cooked in non-processed coconut oil, though. But I don't eat hash browns.

I love everything coconut. Coconut milk powder makes it easy to add a little creaminess and richness to all kinds of food.

Streit's Chocolate Nut Brownie macaroons are really good and a favorite of mine.

Coconut peeks above the 50% level. Eggnog was there earlier in the poll, but has since slipped back.

So listo is safe, no coconut anywhere. Though anything Benzoate is not really a safe ingredient.

It has this: Cocos Nucifera Oil (Emollient/Hair Conditioner). Coconut oil.

I am surprised that cabbage isn't more popular. Cabbage rolls are incredible, or you can simply boil and season it, or you can make "unrolled cabbage roll stew" which is basically a cabbage stew with cabbage roll ingredients. And, one of my favorites, fried cabbage. You make up some bacon and set it to the side. Then you fry the cabbage in the bacon grease. Season as you wish (I always add dill), crumble the bacon back into the pan when you are done. I like to saute some sides and add them in. Chopped celery, onion, carrot, mushroom...whatever you want.

Couldn't they have put the words coconut oil in the parentheses so we know what the lay word is? Instead they just say it's an emollient hair conditioner.

I only like cabbage in galumpkies, slaw or in an Irish boiled dinner so long as it's soaking in vinegar. It needs lots of other things to help the taste imo. So I think I could eat it in a stew or soup.

It looks like the entire label is set up that way; ingredient (purpose). I think that there are rules for how ingredients are listed and this may be why the labels are printed like that, but I don't know. No big deal as long as I'm not consuming the lotion. Coconut does have a natural affect of "drying out" the skin in your mouth. I am just very sensitive to it, and it keeps me from being able to ingest coconut. I have even learned to avoid drinks with coconut oil in them (like some flavors of Powerade) because they just make me feel thirstier.

My corned beef and cabbage is great, and I do like vinegar on cabbage. Try it fried Southern style sometime with bacon. Don't forget the dill.
