What is the advantage over just using coconut oil?

I originally chose this tooth soap because I read an article written by a lady who used it along with another all natural product and she said when she went for her dental checkup her dentist told her whatever she was using to care for her teeth to keep it up. I don't remember the other product she uses with it as a follow up but she said she was already suing the other product but saw amazing results when she added to tooth soap and after reading some of reviews from others who tried it, I thought I would try it. My 14yr old loves it and I no longer have to buy toothpaste. She only uses the tooth soap and when she went for her checkup there were no problems and her teeth were a little cleaner with using the tooth soap than toothpaste. I actually never heard of using coconut oil for toothpaste so I will have to look into that one but I do use it mainly on my hair as a conditioner mixed in with some other products and it works wonders. Hopes this helps.

This is way better than canola and sunflower oil...a healthy fat with a higher smoke point. I know there is a site out there that lists the smoke point for different oils...coconut is good to higher temps than these oils you mention, and it gives a great flavor (not coconutty-but satisfying)

Instead of doing all that why not try coconut oil (extra virgin), it has caprylic acid in it and is very effective.

No, it does not. Coconut oil's health benefits come from the types of fats that it has in it. This is purely sugar, no fat content.

Antiseptic fatty acids in coconut oil help to prevent fungal and bacterial . Coconut are very good facial soap, has to be natural.

The organic, unrefined, coconut oil is fine for cooking, but if you are going to use it for scrambled eggs and other things you cook in a frying pan, it is important not to let it get overly hot. It should not get to the point it is smoking. It has a very low melting temperature, so it does not take much to get it ready to add the food you want to cook. I use it all the time for cooking eggs.

According to many commentators yes you can. Like frying eggs, etc. There are so many uses. Amazing stuff. Recommend do a search for coconut oil uses and you will come up with many recommendations.

There are a variety of carrier oils that can be used. Fractionated coconut oil and almond oil are common but some use grapeseed oil or apricot kernel or evening primrose oils too. I like the coconut oil because it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling but I also use others too. For my face I use argan oil with some essential oils to help with balancing skin and reducing wrinkles.

Yes you can use olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil. These are all carrier oils.

I don't remember. Just kidding. Seriously coconuts have all kinds of healing properties. I use 1/2 cup of the canned coconut milk with 1/2 cup of sugar free carton coconut milk in my (dairy, gluten, soy, corn and egg free protein powder) shake each day. The fat in it helps with weight loss, joints, etc. Here is a link to show additional benefits: http://www.livestrong.com/article/409614-the-health-benefits-of-coconut-milk/ I also cook with Virgin Coconut oil (Vitacost).

just like any other oil, I use it to fry fish, cook rice, use it in salads and for sauteing veggies. This oil from Trader Joe's is perfect because the taste is not too strong, I also like to use it with curry. Coconut oil is very healthy, you just need to enjoy the taste. It can also be used on your hair and skin. enjoy!

The main difference between virgin coconut oil and regular, organic coconut oil is the amount of refining the oil undergoes. Refined coconut oil means the oil has undergone a process of drying the coconut. This type of coconut oil may sometimes be called deodorized or bleached according to Live the Organic Life. This is usually done outside in the Sun. Generally, refined coconut oil is thought of as being of a lesser quality. Unrefined Unrefined coconut oil may also be called virgin coconut oil. The type of method used to extract the oil from the coconut is done in the most natural way. This way, the coconut oil stays in its natural form without the use of any artificial filtering which is sometimes used in the process of refined coconut oil. No chemicals are used in the process of extracting coconut oil using this method. Read more: http://www.ehow.com/info_8283628_differences-virgin-organic-coconut-oil.html#ixzz2rbNCh7UA

it comes from the fat on the backs of Emu's (a bird from the same family as an Ostrich) they have a thick layer of fat that protects them from the extream Austrailia weather.I use it to keep my skin from drying out. Emu oil & coconut are both great because they actually penitrate the skin, un like many that just sit on top of the skin !Emu does have more healing properties than coconut oil.

Like coconut oil, it doesn't need refrigeration and will last well over a year+ because it's a highly saturated oil. great for your health. take it as a thick liquid with a spoon.

Yes you can! Coconut oil can be used for a lot of stuff, I recommend reading this article: https://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/organic-coconut-oil/health-benefits-of-coconut-oil.html

I love this product and use it as a daily moisturizer for my entire body, including lightly on my face (I usually have oily and acne prone skin and this does not make it worse)....you should research the benefits of coconut oil to answer your questions, unless you are asking how good this particular oil is. I have done TONS of research on coconut oil and this organic, extra virgin, cold pressed Nutiva brand is AMAZING. If you get it in the 54oz twin pack, auto shipped it's also the cheapest one out of all of the jugs (yes, I spent literally HOURS going over price!! lol) I hope this helps at least somewhat. :)
