Description: I have used this brand of coconut oil since I started using coconut oil.Being refined,it doesn't have any smell,which is good for people with strong smell senses.

From the website:
Ingredients
100% Organic Expeller Pressed Naturally Refined Coconut Oil.

Use as a butter substitute for cookies and moist cakes—or even soft, smooth skin and hair.

I haven't used it in cooking,just on my hair as a after wash oil(I prefer a light oiling of coconut on my ends),in my hair butter recipes and sometimes in my other misc hair recipes.I paid about 6.00 for my 14oz jar and it has lasted me forever.I highly recommend this particular brand of coconut oil.

Pros: great thicker oil.I use it on my ends after every wash
Cons: none

I absolutely love coconut oil and this brand is the only one I have ever tried.Its a huge jar and it lasts forever and ever.It doesn't get old-has a really long shelf life.

Pros: good product, hair liked it
Cons: lots, so if you don't use it a lot it goes rancid

Enjoyed it, but it went rancid because I didn't use it enough. I won't be purchasing it again unless I find another use for it (like if I decide to make soap!)

I dislike the smell of coconut, so this is much preferred over unrefined.

Pros: No smell. Keeps water in very well.
Cons: Must check whether the oil is solid or liquid before opening the jar.

I use this on my wet hair after I shower. It works quite well in keeping my hair soft. I've kept it both in the refrigerator and the pantry. If it is kept in the refrigerator it will become hard and a spoon is necessary to get out a bit. If it is kept at room temperature it may become liquid (or liquid on top and solid on the bottom). I prefer it at room temperature because it is easier to use. Only a small amount is necessary for coating a lot of hair.

This makes my hair crunchy when it is applied to dry hair.
