The Multiple Uses of Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil is the edible oil extracted from the “meat” of the coconut. It has been used for generations upon generations in food, beauty, and health.

Today I’m going to list you 50 uses for virgin coconut oil even though there are SO many more!

1. Moisturizer for your face, body, and neck.
2. Helps with diaper rash (with no chemicals).
3. As an eye cream. Placing under your eyes will reduce puffiness, wrinkles, bags, and dark circles.
4. As a pre-shave. It will help prep your skin for shaving.
5. As an aftershave. Helps heal the skin without clogging your pores.
6. Makeup remover– even for mascara!
7. Deodorant– alone or with baking soda.
8. Chapstick. Has an SPF of 4. (I’ve been using this as chapstick for a while and my lips stay so soft!)
9. Mix with sugar (or salt) for a natural body scrub. You can even add in some yummy smelling essential oils!
10. As a body cream for stretch marks to reduce their appearance.
11. Nipple Cream. For nursing mothers, this will help with the dry, cracked nipples between feedings.
12. As a sexual lubricant. All natural, but can damage latex condoms so do NOT use with latex.
13. As a daily conditioner. Uses on the bottom half of your hair and rinse like normal.
14. For a deep conditioner. Apply all over and leave on for 20 minutes, or even place a shower cap over it and leave it overnight for an even deeper conditioning.
15. Insect repellent. Mix with a little peppermint oil (or catnip or rosemary) and apply on skin.
16. For cat and dog health. At a teaspoon to their water bowl daily. (I’d check with a vet before doing so)
17. Goo Gone. Mix with baking soda to create a paste and allow to sit on sticky area then remove.
18. Gets gum out of hair! Put all over the stuck gum, leave in for 30 minutes, then roll gum between fingers. Should come out without having to cut!
19. Polishes bronze.
20. Toothpaste. (I’ve showed you how to make the toothpaste with coconut oil HERE.)
21. As oil in cooking. Has a 350 degree smoke point. Great for baking, stir-fry, etc.
22. As a coffee creamer.
23. Taken as a supplement for daily energy.
