Could I mix this with coconut oil to make a paste?

Yes. I mix mine with regular toothpaste but the coconut oil sounds even better. I would put the coconut oil in the fridge so it does not get rancid and stays in a non-liquid form. Love this stuff.

If you read the instructions on this page with this, it states if is pure. They strongly suggest you mix with olive oil or coconut oil.

It isnt necessary to use paste, because it isnt pc processor and it dont warm same pc processor. You need just to use the tape included.

There should be no problem with that. I mix it in my hot coffee, and it works great as a creamer, and adds a bit of sweetness and coconut flavor. Enjoy!

No. Coconut oil is a solid unless it is over 76 degrees. This has the same properties as the more expensive oils I had been purchasing in the past. We have had great experiences using Snappy. It is in our foods, rubbed on skin, fed to our dogs who have "yeast" problems... It's also fabulous to pop popcorn on the stove! Light and fluffy every time.

Agreed, unless you live somewhere very warm. It's always solid. What you could do is melt it and mix it with olive oil or almond oil.. or any oil you want. That way it won't be quite as hard. Once your mixture firms up just use a mixer to make it creamy.

I do not believe so. This has been heated, no matter what they claim. Turns brown when melted (should be clear) and does not have coconut scent. This is OK for a body oil, but would not use it to cook with unless you can only afford this price. You get what you pay for with these oils and the bit more is well worth it. I use it for hands and to put in my dog's food. Good for dog's coat. Hope this helps to make a better choice.

This won't clump like regular coconut oil. As for face wash, I don't see why not.

Yes. It is just straight food grade (safe to eat) coconut oil. You can use it in beauty products, food/cooking or any other thing you can think of.

Yes, it will work fine. I have used Pam or coconut oil then dusted with rice flour.

No, it is in a coconut oil base and coconut oil hardens into a solid a solid form when at room temperature or colder. Just carry it with you into the shower or put the bottle into a warm bowl of water. It will soften up within a minute and you will be able to pour it. Do not microwave it as this "nukes" the nutrients and lessens the potency.

I haven't personally mixed the two in a container, but I do apply both to my hair right after each other. I apply the coconut oil and then the shea butter on top. But I have heard of people making a concoction of the two and other ingredients together.

Actually, coconut flour has the oil pressed out first, before grinding, so grinding this will NOT make coconut flour. However, if you toss a bag of this into a Vitamix, in less than two minutes you will have coconut butter, or coconut manna, at a fraction of the cost of buying those products. I just made a batch.

I have not but that sounds like an excellent idea that I will definitely try myself, since coconut oil is known for its soothing and medicinal properties. Also, the coconut oil mixed with the powder, if kept cool, would probably provide a consistency more like traditional toothpaste.

I mix it with coconut oil to make my own sunscreen. It seems to be fine enough to spread on the face, smooth and soft. One more thing I might add is the mixture I make looks whitish when on my darker skin color. It doesn't bother me because I want protection from the sun with a natural product.

I put room about 3/4 shea and 1/4 coconut in a jar and use a wood stick (like the kind for making a shish kabob) to stir. When it is mostly mixed, I add a couple drops of essential oil (peppermint and/or lavender). Excellent!

Yes. Add chicken broth to the paste. 1-2 cups of broth to 1 lb of paste. You can experiment on the thickness. Here is a good YouTube video that may help.http://youtu.be/R-m5nZEFQXw
