I then googled CO and became enlightened by all of the amazing health benefits CO offers. First chance I had I ran to the supermarket and bought the last jar on the shelf. I bought the refined CO not knowing the difference between that and unrefined. Anyhow, I used it as a hair conditioner and wow!What an amazing difference! The body scrub was such a treat!I even used CO oil as a lubricant and let me tell you it made things easier,ahem! I used it as an under eye cream but noticed a breakout, so I am going to hold off on that. I went Whole Foods and bought a few jars of the unrefined CO by Spectrum and the taste and smell are wonderful. I used it in my oatmeal and I used it as a spread on my bagel and it taste wonderful! I love the idea for using CO as a cleaner for cosmetic brushes, I can't wait to try it. I enjoy reading this blog! Thank you all for your valuable posts!

Since my husband and I have decided the best form of birth control for us for now is barrier method (aka condoms), I've learned that you shouldn't use an oil-based lubricant with latex as it can break down the latex... so if you're relying on them working and you use CO as a lubricant, be careful or you might have yourself a baby :) There are other types other than latex that are compatible with oil, so that's good news to me. Hope that helps anyone else out there!

I use it for everything. If we are sick, I try Coconut oil first! Also, I've knocked out bladder infections in just a few hours with CO. It's great for the toe fungus that many people get as they age. Soooo many things. I love it for deodorant. I just use it straight. Love it! I really can't say enough about it. My husband now uses it as much as I do. He started using it for deodorant and really likes it also. It's the best natural product I've ever used and I've used alot!! I am like Joan.

I've seen travel-size Dr. Bronner's in various "scents" that you may like. Look in the makeup section of Target, near the natural makeup (like Burt Bees).
