Our friends Shay Mitchell of Pretty Little Liars and Michaela Blaney did a feature of Kapuluan on their Lifestyle Blog Amore&Vita about their top 10 coconut oil uses.
Here is the post:
Shay is coconut oil’s biggest fan…literally…and she turned me into this beauty wonder a few years ago. Coconut oil is all-natural, from mother nature, hardly refined, and has too many uses to count. We just posted a blog about a company, Kapuluan, making high-end coconut oil products while promoting growth and change in coconut farming communities in the Philippines and giving back to these hard-working humans.
So with coconut oil on our minds, providing the many uses to all of you was a brilliant idea. Did we mention it smells fantastic and has zero additional ingredients? It is the best thing to use for your body. Chemical free is where we want to be!
Our Favourite Ways to Use Coconut Oil
Makeup Remover
No Joke. Use coconut oil on a cotton pad and gently remove your makeup. And don’t be scared – it will not clog your pores. Shay grabbed our coconut oil from the kitchen numerous times to remove her set makeup.
Body Scrub
Add equal parts coconut oil with raw sugar to create a sweet, grainy all-over scrub that will leave skin moisturized, sweet, and thankful.
Moisturizer
Scrap your drugstore overly-scented lotions and grab a bottle of coconut oil. It absorbs your skin better than any oil or moisturizer, leaves a sweet scent, and won’t ruin clothes.
Highlighter
Need a slight cheekbone shimmer? Brush some coconut oil on your cheekbones. Or want a more slender effect on your legs? Wipe coconut oil up the front of your legs for an all-natural, fuss-free highlighter.
Hair Mask
Cover your scalp to ends in this oil and relax. Then, wash your hair as usual, feel the difference, and notice the shine.
Shaving Cream
Are you prone to in-grown hairs? Or on a budget? Don’t waste your money on extra items – use what you have – coconut oil. Bye, in-grown!
Massage Oils
I mean, maybe for that special someone? Coconut oil works perfectly as a massage oil and won’t leave a mess.
Hand Salve
Dry, chapped hands. Coconut oil can fix that.
Cooking
Replace ANY oil with coconut oil and taste the difference. Coconut oil can take on super high heat, so it is the best for frying or coating any dish or pan. Replace plain vegetable oil with coconut oil for a sweeter addition to your baking!
Lip Balm
Chapped lips? This will do the trick – and leave you with a sweet pout!
