is this the same as regular coconut oil?don't mind my stupidity but a Dr spoke about it as a switch from lip gloss. Since then I've scoured the net!

No, this has the Long Chain Fat (LCFs or LCTs) removed. Those are the ones that make it solid at room temperature and make it smell.. This is used by massues (sp) as it does not stain any clothes, is odorless. It is very good, very, very good for your skin.

Yes but processed so it is a liquid. Virgin coconut oil is a solid but melts around 76 degrees. Either would be a good choice. They do not smell or taste like coconut. Have very little smell or taste. Absorbs into the skin very well. Hope that helps

It is. It is simply processed in a way (fractionated) that keeps it from returning to a solid form, making it a good medium for natural cream, massage oil, or as a carrier for scents. So this will work fine for your needs.

This is not the same as regular coconut oil that you can cook with. This one you can NOT cook with. It is good for your skin and I have used it in essential oils in on my face and lips at night. Very nice. I don't know about a lip gloss because it soaks into your skin so won't stay on long. Bert's Bees has a good lip gloss. You may want to check that out if you are not allergic to Bee Stings.

No, it is not. This has no scent and is very thin, just slightly thicker than water. It is great for skin and I use it on my lips, but I'm not sure it works very long as a lip gloss because it is absorbed quickly. I think it would work if you took a lip product and mixed this oil into it. I make my own scented lotions with this and now I think I will try making lip gloss. I'll let you know if it works : )

No, there's no similarities , I think you should stick to your virgin coconut oil. I don't think it's 100% pure.

How does the consistency of this oil compare to coconut oil? I find that coconut oil is wonderful for most uses (including my skin) but that it's a little too oily for my hair. I'm looking for a nice face oil and would probably use this on my hair if it's not too heavy.

Interestingly, I just started doing this a few weeks ago. I live in the Caribbean where the weather is VERY hot and I find that since I started using it as a moisturizer, my face is actually less oily. It kinda leaves a tight feeling for a few minutes and then the feeling wears off. I totally recommend giving it a try.

I'm curious too--the PanAway bottle has a different font and it states "100% Pure Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil Blend". This bottle does not! Makes me wonder----

Dear Ms.In my opinion Pro EMU oil seems to have provided all the benefits the Ultra active is touted to do !! ...however ,that said I have to say the ultra absorbs for some reason faster facially ! And a little less greasy on the face ! ....on the rest of the body PRO feels very silky !....so it could be just me !

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.

Please take this as my opinion, and not a scientifically derived conclusion. Ultra Active seems to be processed more than Pro. I'm not sure that is a good thing. I've used PRO EMU OIL; and as long as you use it sparingly it is wonderful stuff. A little goes a long way. It absorbs quickly, heals skin irritations with amazing speed - overnight for me. The part to get used to is that one or two drops goes a long way.

Hi Melinda, as someone who researches natural products & been using coconut oil for almost a year now, I would apply at bedtime. I typically moisturizer with coconut oil before bed... More time to absorb... That's what I would do (to start) and see how it works. Good luck :)

Hi, the lip stain comes with a spongy wand (like for most lip glosses), since the consistency is very liquid-y, so the stick form is not very feasible. :) I actually really like the wand, sometimes I just apply it just at the inner half of my lips to create a "just-bitten" Korean "Ulzzang" type of look, then use lipbalm all over my lips to moisturize & a natural sheen. I love this lip stain... very very long lasting!

I use this cream and have always found it creamy with natural ingredients. What you are describing sounds more like a wax?! It does not seem like the same cream.

I am pretty sure it is. Coconut oil does change consistency with the temperature... if it is cool/cold then it will gel, if it is warm then it is more of an oil.

From what I understand about the product it is a flavoring oil only and not designed for the high heat required for popping. Flavorless coconut oil is best in my experience for popping. Hope I helped!

I believe this is pure MCT oil, where regular coconut oil will have other contents. I add this to my morning coffee, along with organic butter. It has helped me lose weight (after already eating healthy and exercising), and gives me more energy.

I just made some sunscreen on Thursday. And yet I have no idea if it's non nano. Is there a contact number on your "spicy world" product? You should investigate why it's not "natures oil".

I purchased unsweetened (don't know if they sell a sweeten version) it has a more subtle coconut flavor than the sweetened alternatives. On the other hand you can control what kind and how much sweetener you want to use. It reminds me of unsweetened coconut milk. If baking with it, it does not yield the same effect as sweetened coconut.
