Our organic unrefined coconut oil is truly spectacular with a deep and mildly intoxicating scent of pure coconut pulp. It is one of the most revered oils for nutritional purposes. This is a great oil for general moisturizing and serves as a protective layer, helping to retain the moisture in your skin. Coconut oil is without a doubt, the number one lather-producing agent used in soaps. And is the first choice for most people in the cosmetics and soap industry. Will melt at 76-79 degrees.
This particular oil is raw and unrefined and has a pleasant, full-bodied coconut aroma. If blended within skin care preparations at a high percentage, it may alter the scent of the final product.
Fresh, whole coconuts that are sound and ripe are shelled and then pared to remove the brown skin. The white meat is then milled to fine shreds and dried at a temperature of not more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit for an average of 2 hours and 30 minutes. This does not create a completely dried and useless meat, but rather helps in the evaporation of excess water, which is prevalent in the meat. After drying, the milled coconut is passed through a customized, cold process oil press where the oil is separated from the coconut at a controlled temperature of less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The oil is collected in a receiving pan and pumped through a series of filter cloths, which results in a 'clear' coconut oil, known commercially as virgin coconut oil. The filtered virgin coconut oil is temporarily stored in a tank and made to pass through a final filter to remove any detritus left over before it is packed into its final drum.

I burned myself pretty bad when making marinara sauce. A bit found my hand after boiling out of the pot. I put this salve very generously on the burned area immediately and then finished the sauce. I never experienced that burning feeling after that. I continue to put the salve on the area while it heals.
I have been slowly eliminating toxic products from my everyday routine and these wool dryer balls are a great alternative to dryer sheets. The price is right and the quality is exceptional. I live in LA and everything non-toxic is so over priced. I love visiting Apotheke DuJardin and stocking up when I’m in town.
This has become an absolute nonnegotiable in my skincare routine. My kids know it as “mommy’s face stick” because I bring it everywhere. I had TERRIBLE acne for years. The moisture that this replenishes my skin with has actually healed the acne.
