COMMON USES: Food Safe for culinary use such as frying, baked goods, confections, and ice cream coatings. Ideal in soap and skin care products. A percentage of coconut oil in cosmetics is moisturizing; too much of it can be drying. The saturated nature resists rancidity and makes a very hard soap, while at the same time producing a fluffy lather. Soapmakers usually combine with olive, palm, palm kernel or castor oils for an all-vegetable soap. Some soapmakers use between 20%-30%.

CAUTIONS: Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation in some individuals. A skin test is recommended prior to use, dilute prior to use. Contact with eyes should be avoided as it may cause temporary irritation.

STORAGE: Store in original container to protect the oil from air/light/moisture, to maintain freshness, to maintain maximum shelf life, and for safe shipping.
