Some Ways To Use Coconut Oil You Might Not Have Thought Of
- baking – use coconut oil to replace oils that will degrade when heated, especially for frying and in baked goods
- deodorant – Melt coconut oil in a pot on the stove, mix in baking soda, pour liquid mix into empty deodorant roll-on tube(s) or other container, allow to cool (can cool in fridge). Then can be used to roll on as usual deodorant. Can make clothes a bit greasy but works very well, especially with a higher % of baking soda
- leather shiner for shoes
- moisturizer for the skin
- makeup remover , wipe-off eye makeup with cloth covered in coconut oil
- Toothpaste – use a mix of coconut oil and baking soda (not more than once a week as it can wear away enamel if used too often). Whitens teeth
