About a year ago, my mom sent me a small container of coconut oil for my itchy legs. I have nice skin, but super sensitive and my legs itch like they are constantly covered in mosquito bites, when they are not. I've tried all sorts of excessively expensive creams and ointments, and the thing that helps BY FAR the most is this coconut oil. I've used other brands (spectrum, Trader Joe's, and some Amish brand from Lancaster) and Nutiva seems the most luxurious! I use this stuff on my entire body, even a tiny bit on my face!! My husband has commented numerous times about how soft and beautifully my skin looks... (He's the kind of guy that has a hard time noticing a drastic hair cut, let alone nice skin!!) It leaves a hint of an aroma, but you don't smell like Coco Cabana the rest of the day, by any means... More nutty than coconutty. I have discovered that if you put coconut oil in a mixer (in its solid form) and whip if for about 5 minutes, it whips up a bit, and becomes easier to scoop out of the container to slather on! (Fun tid bit)This bucket O' coconut oil has been the best price we have found. I have ventured into trying coconut oil to cook with (I know that's the original purpose, but prior to my bucket, I hoarded tiny jars for my skin) It imparts a slightly nutty flavor on your food, but has a crisp freshness that tastes almost summery. My husband hates coconut and coconut flavored things, but loved the food I cooked with the oil. The coconut oil heated up well, and did not smoke as olive oil does when it gets really hot. I've used it to cook a number of things, and nothing stuck to the pan. A little goes a long way when you cook with this stuff.In short: buy it to cook with, buy it to moisturize with, buy it in bulk... you won't be disappointed!

The other day my significant other looked at me and remarked..."You have the skin of a teenager". It is the dramatic improvement in my skin since I've been using this product. First my dry hair's texture was changed within a few days and I no longer have dandruff since using this product. Then my skin from the neck down has this kind of sheen that I have not had in 40 years...the last time I was a teenager. Also the acne on the back or my arms, backside and back of my thighs is gone. I used to slather on a tea tree oil lip balm several times a day. Now I rub in coconut oil on my lips in the morning and maybe one other time during the day, on the days I do not wear lipstick.The thing that has struck me most is my face. I had been through microdermabrasion, chemical peels and all sorts of exfoliating products that are now all replaced by coconut oil. I'm not usually one for dramatic reviews, but this product has performed VERY FAR BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS!!! Also by using this product I save a lot of money now that I no long have to use a ton of other products. I should note that I've been using this coconut oil for the last 4 or 5 months.Update 11/2012I thought my skin looked fabulous last year, but it has only gotten better. My large facial pores are significantly smaller and the acne breakouts that I used to have from time to time are history. My oily T-zone is history and yet it is hard for me to believe that an oil could render such dramatic results. I really thought that these resullts would have only been possible through some type of plastic surgery or at least interventions that would only be available through a plastic surgeon. I have historically had very oily skin and now each day I put coconut oil on my face. I used to put on a very tiny amount and if it seemed like too much, I quickly wiped off the excess. Now I put on more than I would have ever, ever considered just a few months ago and yet the results are even better.
