COCONUT OIL

geek84

Hi Folks

I have started using coconut oil for my beard and skin.  However, it is always quite hard to remove from it's container.  At present, I use a fork to take a small amount and rub it in my hands for a few minuts before it becomes liquid form.

Can ayne suggest of a better method?

Thank You

I also use coconut oil for my hair. I like the effect. To make it liquid, I put the container in warm water for several minutes.

Not Johnson's baby oil I hope!  The non-mineral oil ones are often a mix of sunflower and some other plant oils.

OP if you can keep your coconut oil on or near a windowsill it should be softer, even liquid during the summer - but ideally in a dark or opaque container, so the light doesn't spoil it.  Or near a radiator.  The most efficient method I found when it's solid though was to run a spoon under hot water, dry it, then use it to scoop out some oil.

I personally like babassu oil for my hair, it sinks in like coconut but has a lower melting point and doesn't make my hair crunchy like coconut does (and my skin doesn't like coconut oil either).  It is more expensive though, sadly.

Put it in warm water for sometime before using. It will become liquid form after sometime.
