I wanted to know what exactly is used to "Pre-Cure" the press. Just spoke w/ Imusa. It is COCONUT OIL, &amp; can be washed off if you wish.

There is nothing at all wrong with a coconut oil cure, as far as I'm concerned. If you want to use a non-stick layer under and over the dough, waxed paper is the way to go. The waxed paper can double as a storage method to stack uncooked tortillas--leave them in the waxed paper and use fresh pieces of waxed paper for each tortilla.

I use raw coconut oil nightly, and especially right after my peel. LOVE it and its cheap!

Should work well as you will need a fairly high heat and the press has a setting for linen which should do the trick. You might try the cotton setting first, then go to linen if cotton is not hot enough.

Hello, this is a good question. I bought it to use my wife, I know she finished using it, use shrink pores effect of the essence, or use some shrink pores effect of toner, or mask. She only used twice a week. I sincerely hope my answers help you.

I agree with Great Cook, don't use spray oil! It's fine to use while cooking, but then you need to wash it off! If it drys on it makes it sticky. Just use a paper towel and smear some vegetable oil on it.

I actually didn't know that. I'm new to the essential oils. I under the impression that this was a pure, unprocessed essential oils, so I would be disappointed if it was processed. If you learn anything, please let me know. -thank you

The handle on my press also broke (after about 2 weeks). I contacted MexGrocer and they said that a replacement would be sent. That was over a year ago and no handle. I repaired it my self with wood glue and two stainless steel screws. Once repaired it works well. A bit expensive for something you have to repair to use, in my opinion.

The opposite is true. Cold Pressed is by far better for your skin. Google around (although it might be tough to find this info). I recently bought Nature's Way and they sent me Expeller Pressed coconut oil for some reason. It didn't soak into my skin at all, made my eyes red and kinda hurt (if I put it under near my eyes) and it left an oily feeling ALL day long. I researched through google and the amazon comments section and found out that expeller pressed does that to you. So long answer short, USE COLD PRESSED FOR COOKING AND FOR SKIN.

My jar is so worn and the print is so small, here's some of what I can read: Water, beeswax, soybean oil, lavender oil, rosemary leaf oil, and castor seed oil. If you have a Sally's beauty store check it out. I think Amazon is a little cheaper. A small jar lasts a long time

No, you would use cocoa butter, coconut OIL, or shea butter. see a recipe at www.wellnessmama.com

I mix it with 1/2 cup coconut oil. Water. It was a perfect color. Not too bright. No purple. You can youtube how to mix it. I made it kinda thick. I would add about a half cup water, go from there in what consistency you prefer.

I use an electric mixer on the lowest speed with a tablespoon of each jojoba oil, castor oil (you can also use almond but I'm allergic) , grape seed oil, jargan oil, olive oil, and vitamin e. Makes a super whipped super moist conditioning product. If you want it more liquidy vs a butter type product the add coconut oil till you get your desired texture. All of these oils are amazing for ur hair and skin, and I just love it.

I don't use it at all. I got my money back and threw it away because I had an allergic reaction to it. Now I just use coconut oil and it works beautifully.

I have heard there is a recipe for laundry detergent you can make with Dr. Bronners and washing soda and a few other things - I do not have the recipe - could you Google it? I know it makes a ton and is very cheap - a friend gave me a jug - it worked great.

So far all I have done is melt it down with other ingredients. One of my favorites is a Buttery Coconut moisturizer. See on pinterest for recipe.
