I use this for everything! Body lotion, massage oil, lip balm, make-up removal, hair oil, cooking oil. I've gotten my boyfriend hooked too - he uses it in his beard. I've purchased several different qualities of coconut oil in the past, and I can tell that this stuff is of higher quality. The texture is nice and smooth, it remains homogenous, smells like coconut, and tastes great!
This coconut oil is amazing. I've tried others and always go back to this one. I use it to wash makeup off, condition my hair, as a body moisturizer & internally by adding teaspoon with my oatmeal daily..I have had psoriasis for a number of years, with prescription steroid ointments. This has truly help control my psoriasis scalp & body. I use this everyday and can't go without it. Highly recommended.
Great quality product! I did a trial run of eye usage based on an international study of rabbits. I melted the coconut oil with my clean dry hands. Applied the coconut oil to the lower and upper outer lid of my eye and to the corner. I did this in my "bad eye", lazy eye only. Helped pain, achyness and redness comparatively well. I did this for around 3 weeks with no bad side effect. However, i am Not a doctor or scientist. My logic, eye pencils and makeup are worse.
Another use. My face use to flake really bad, i tried all kinds of lotions over the years, even ones with " coconut", this is the only thing that's had long term benefits to my face and hands. I apply it everytime after i wash my face...which i try to do twice a day. Ever wonder why people have such shiny pretty legs?... This is the reason, very happy with this purchase.
And finally, a suggestion. Don't dip dirty items or fingers in your container. I suggest buying a plastic spoon that sits flat, you can keep this in your bathroom for days, ready to use. Metal will melt with warmth. Ok I'm done. :) Hope this helps someone!
I'm going to tell you right now I have had problems with acne half my life, and as I've aged (28 now) my adult acne only became worse. I've used God knows how many treatments and remedies. Now for my face, I've been using TheraTrees mint scrub, ERA organics complete moisturizer, jojoba oil, and this. My acne has cleared up 90% with this combination, however! I've only been using coconut oil before showering as a all over moisturizer and deep conditioning for my hair. My body acne has completely cleared up within one week! I sincerely attribute this to coconut oil's anti bacterial properties. To top it off this is definitely one of the best moisturizers I've ever used.
As for my hair? It's shiny, it doesn't feel oiled at all, and frizz free. However make sure to read into whether or not coconut oil is right for your hair type.
10/10 will buy this again.
I've used Viva Labs Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and the Island Fresh Superior Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. Between the two, I definitely prefer the Viva Labs brand. I solely use this brand for beauty purposes. I use it to wash my face at night (amazing at removing my stubborn makeup) and to do coconut oil pulling. Viva Labs brightened my teeth by 4 or 5 shades whiter than Island Fresh. I remember everyone complimenting about my teeth when I used Viva Labs and no one really did the same when I was using Island Fresh.
Also this brand is recommended when making DIY lotion. I live in Las Vegas so I need a lot of moisture! I used Island Fresh the first time to make DIY lotion and it is not as silky, smooth, and beautiful as Viva Labs. Island Fresh is only recommended for cooking (in my opinion).
In addition, this brand's matter of state is consistent as well. Island Fresh is solid at all times (even above room temperature) where as Viva Labs turns solid when below room temperature and is at liquid state when it is above room temperature. This is helpful especially when I need to put coconut oil in my dog's ears. My dog gets ear infection from time to time and this oil does an amazing job of getting rid of the infection within 12 to 48 hours! (When I use Island Fresh, I would have to use microwave to liquify it).
I AM AN ADDICT TO THIS PRODUCT! I can promise you will love it too!

I've reordered this about 4 or 5 times now in over two years. Why? Because it tastes good. The most important reason is that it
appears to be helping any symptoms of dementia or Alzheimers. I got tested by my Doctor for this about 1 and one half years ago and she
said I was beginning to have borderline symtpoms. (I was starting to tell stories more than once to the same person on the same day..that kind of thing). Since using this oil pretty much exclusively in my cooking, I've noticed a remarkable clarity. I bake, fry and do general cooking with its slightly nutty/sweet tasting flavor.
The quality is great, the shipping is pronto, and I find a jar lasts me a long time. I also use this to brush my teeth and sometimes for oil
pulling. That helps heal the gums. For directions on that, check the internet.
We've used extra virgin coconut oil for years as an essential part of our diet. I'm 73 and go to the gym several times of the week and am in excellent health. I believe coconut oil replacing the tons of butter I loved to eat and other diet changes like cutting out most wheat, very little beef, chicken a couple times a week and vegetable protein the rest of the time have all been important contributors to my health.
Good genes don't hurt either, plus I'm a reformed smoker, 30+ years now.
We used Nutiva for years, trying this brand now and it seems identical in quality and taste, quite happy with it.
Also, for you who are new to using coconut oil, get refined oil for cooking. This is best for eating, such as melted on veggies or on crackers with salt (tasty without out butter). Also great melted in soup. The melting temp is around 75 degrees. On hot days, it turns liquid. You can keep it in the fridge, or just spoon it onto whatever you like.
I'll be ordering this again, very happy with it.
I've used this in several recipes, cookies, waffles, bread with good results. It is a very soft solid at room temperature and melts in your hands or mouth.. It has a very mild coconut flavor and odor.
In cooking, I found a teaspoon spread out by hand on a cookie sheet makes a great easy coating compared to a lard or butter. The same teaspoon in a skillet for turkey bacon, eggs, etc does the job of a tablespoon or more of butter or oil, and it melts/spreads better.
I go through about 30 oz of coconut oil per month between massage classes, cooking and using it in place of butter on toast and whatever else I used to put butter on. It's far better quality than what I used to get through Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. The consistency, taste and long-lasting freshness of Viva is superb!
Love this coconut oil! I used it mostly for hot chocolate. Just add a teaspoon or more. It taste so good and has so many health benefits internally (e.g immune system, brain). It works great as a natural facial/body moisturizer specially during winter. This oil also help my hair and eyelashes and eyebrows grow healthier. I add it in making brownies, and cooking. You can combine it in other essential oils. I hope they don't up the price because I'm a repeat customer.
Tip: If you eat something bad (or food poisoning) and you would like to flush it out of your system ASAP! Just drink half a cup to a cup of this oil (add hot coco if you can't stomach it). It is so effective in cleansing and flushing bad stuff out of your system but you also have to stay in the toilet most of the time during the flushing. That's the only con. I love it because there's no harmful side effects that I've experienced so far and it's cheaper, natural and fast solution. You'll feel better right away after your system is cleansed!
PS. This is just based on my personal experience of food poisoning. I almost died. Drinking home made extracted coconut oil save my life! Everyone reacts differently, so maybe it's also Best to start small amounts of coconut oil. Please do your own research.
Hey Amazon, how about making chocolates using natural coconut oil? :)
