How is this product CocoTherapy Organic Virgin Coconut Oil different from the Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil?

Coco Therapy says they own the coconut trees and therefore it is harvested quickly and they claim it is better because of that.You can call them and ask them about it they are very nice. But truly I really question the difference.

Ingedients: Organic Coconut Oil (100%). This is exactly the way it appears on the label. Hope this is helpful!

I don't think there is a difference because the oil is the same golden brown shade in all the brands. I would prefer to buy it direct from Jamaica.

Don't know if it's organic.. I'm pretty sure it's extra virgin. It's very red and thick, but melts very easily like coconut oil. The refined palm oil is clear and not "earthy" like this oil. I hold my nose and take it and chase it with OJ.

It's best to give it a try. The major difference, of course, is that coconut manna comes in a glass jar and Let's Do Organic in plastic pouches. However, I don't buy both anymore as it's not raw. I buy just organic extra virgin coconut oil again.

"EXTRA" virgin, when it is applied to coconut oil, is a meaningless marketing ploy. "There are essentially two types of coconut oil -- virgin and refined. Virgin coconut oil, or VCO, is made by pressing fresh coconut meat, milk or milk residue. Refined, bleached and deodorized, or RBD, oil is made from the coconut copra or dried kernel and may be chemically treated." http://www.livestrong.com/article/266229-what-is-the-difference-between-virgin-extra-virgin-coconut-oil/

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

The 100% organic means that it is completely organic or made of all organic ingredients, meaning the conventional methods of fertilizing, etc are not used (pesticides). Not sure if 100% pure is actually regulated as "organic" labeling is. Carrier oil just means that you can add the oil to another product such as using with essential oils to dilute, moisturizers, or in soap making, etc. Each oil is used for a therapeutic purpose. Different oils may be beneficial for one thing vs another. Jojoba is a good oil to be used as a carrier but is a great conditioning oil for dry skin. It really depends on your purpose in using it. Many people use fractionated coconut oil as a carrier because it is very light & not greasy.

I have a can here, it is not listed in the ingredients. I know that Trader Joe's coconut oil spray does have soy oil in it! Which is why I sent away for this!

I am 59, so my skin is very different than a young persons skin. Overall my skin is clearer after using this oil, and other organic oils to both cleanse my skin and as a first step moisturizer. I bought a big jar or organic cooking grade coconut oil (which comes in a solid form) which I like and Organic Jojoba oil. My skin seems to get used to a product quickly and not show the great results that occur at first for very long. I do have adult acne (oh wonderful!) on both sides of my chin, and I can't really tell if it makes it worse, it hasn't made it go away. (Look up honey and cinnamon on Google for this treatment of acne, I am going to try it). Hope this helps. My friends daughter 14 tried to use the argon oil, and did have immediate break outs.

I don't know. This is a coconut oil that is made into a thin consistency. It is used for mixing with my essential oils to dilute them. It works great because the thin consistency matches that of the oils so it comes out of the bottles easily and mixes well. Non greasy too. And oderless. Nice for moisturizer too.

Okay, I contacted the company and this is what they said: "Our Jojoba oil is organic, but our facility is not certified USDA Organic. This is something we are working on, but it is a timely and costly process, so at the moment, all we can say is that it is organic. The plants are grown organically, and no chemicals are introduced in the extraction process, so the oil is 100% pure."I will take their word on it for this one. Especially since I've been reading through the reviews on this and people with sensitive skin are saying that it is pure. I have not tried the product yet, however. I hope this helps.

All it is and says is that this is nothing but coconut. No fillers, no add-ons etc. I saw no CoA, but admit, I didn't look for one.I suggest you contact the company to ask about this concern.
