Well its pure essential oil. You can always add this to lotions and things just remember to dilute it (since this is going in lotion dont worry about that).Also a few drops go a long way.. this stuff is very strong. I would also keep it in a glass jar as the acid in the oil tends to eat plastic. (I learned the hard way when making my own toner).I added 3 drops at a time and mixed it and tested it as I have sesitive skin. But if you're worried about having a reaction just be a human guinea pig and dab some on your hand.

I would assume so. I haven't used esential oils in this way. I make my own "poo-pouri". I do know that it would have to be used sparingly, because full-strength would stain your hands and clothing. I put a few drops on a washcloth and it stained it yellowish-brown. Good luck!

All oils should be diluted with a carrier oil. The carrier oil does not have to be coconut. There are several options, but grape seed is universal, wonderfully effective and rather inexpensive.

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. :) 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.

This Fractionated Coconut absorbs really well with no oily residue. I use this oil with my essentials oils all the time and I also use it to make my sugsr scrubs too.

Aromatherapy gurus may not advocate mixing commercial lotions with essential oils, but they do counsel you to mix them with coconut oil (which can be in a solid or liquid form) and used as a lotion. In terms of physically can this be done, sure. I use some oils directly on my skin, and others you should cut with oils like grapeseed, coconut, almond oil, etc. You ought to consult a book about essential oils to see which can be used directly (called "neat") or which have to be diluted.

Yes, this is coconut butter and excellent quality. They also do coconut oil just read the jar and description! :)

Yes, I would look on their website to make sure or if you had any other questions about it. This was my first time buying coconut oil..ever. I like it so far and will probably continue to purchase this brand.

I use this oil as a body oil.. I love it.. not greasy easily absorbed! I am sure it will be ok for hair.. I use a shampoo from Bumble & Bumble that is coconut and kukui and I love it!

Yes, you can use coconut oil or olive oil as carriers for thieves oil if used on the skin.. i usually just use two drops of thieves oil on my tongue to take internally.

Use it as you would any oil. It does retain the coconut smell so be mindful of that.

the one that I have is 100% borage oil. I checked the ingredient list on the bottle. It is also organic, if that matters to you as well.

You can apply either to wounds for medical purposes, for mixing with essential oils or cooking with. I like the fractioned coconut carrier oil better for aromatherapy as it has no oder and does not leave your skin feeling oily. I think sometimes when you use the cooking oil's that are thicker (they often come in a jar in the cooking section and are more of a paste) either have a little scent to them or leave your skin feeling a bit oily. I like the plant therapy coconut fractioned carrier oil because it doesn't have any sent, absorbed quickly and does not leave an oily residue but either one works

This one is not meant to ingest. NOW has coconut oil on the food section that you can eat. This one is meant more for beauty and topical.

I use a carrier oil... Because I think it is otherwise too strong for my personal choice.. I use coconut oil.4or 5 drops of balance to a tablespoon of carrier oil.I think it is also recommend on the website.But your personal choice as well. I love it.

You could use it with coconut oil no problem. the lotion works alone just fine though too
