Monoi Tiare Coconut Oil Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On a blissful, youthful trip to Papeete in the Tahitian archipelago 26 years ago, I purchased 2 bottles of this elixir of the goddesses - which I have hoarded judiciously ever since! I still have half a bottle left and it still smells like heaven and moisturises my skin like nothing else. I am thrilled beyond words that it is now easily obtainable online (possibly for less than I paid for it in 1983!). Finally, I can splurge and use it every day (though that might destroy its specialness) Yes, it solidifies in the winter (unless you keep it in the bathroom next to the hot water pipe, like I do) but never, never microwave it or you will destroy its exquisite essence of frangipani. I still open the bottle, sniff and am transported back to Bora Bora.

Parachute Jasmine Perfumed Non-sticky Coconut Hair Oil, 7-Fluid Ounce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this item because it was described as "Fulfilled by Amazon" on behalf of a third party. I contacted Amazon to ask for the ingredients list because it was not mentioned at all in the website. The representative was great and contacted the company called Simply Beautiful but no one responded to his call. When I received the product, the ingredients listed on the bottle are as follows: Mineral oil, Coconut oil, Isopropyl Myristate, Perfume Benzophenone-3.
I took off 2 stars because of the hurdles one has to go through to obtain an ingredients list and the time one has to set aside to ask for a refund. The jasmine perfume is near identical to smelling live jasmine flowers. Coconut oil is great for hair care. Unfortunately, mineral oil receives a thumbs down in the long hair community forums. If you do not care about the presence of mineral oil in this product, then you will probably enjoy using this.

NOW Foods Coconut Oil, Virgin, Organic, 20 Ounce Bottle (Pack of 3) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having used virgin CO for a few years now, decided to try a different brand from my regular, since this 3-pack was a good price (I try to pay under 50 cents per ounce).
This product has a more prominent flavor than my regular (Nutiva). I enjoy coconut flavor, and so this wouldn't really be a problem except that it has a noticeable off-character. I tastes spoiled (though it's not). If you have children you may recall the scent of spit-up milk from an infant--that's the flavor. It's hard to palate! This is likely the result of the processing method. This may be a "traditionally-processed" (Philippine method) oil, in which the chopped coconut is allowed to ferment in order to separate the oil. Other cold-processing methods avoid this fermentation step and extract the oil mechanically. Both result in a minimally-processed, truly "virgin" product (as opposed to a refined oil which is further processed with heat and solvents to remove flavors and other natural components). Also this has a grittier texture than I'm accustomed to.
Two stars for overall quality (and I'm just a big fan of coconut oil), but beware of the stronger and unpalatable smell and taste.

Coconut Pacific 100% Pure Organic Extra Virgin Raw Coconut Oil, 4-Ounce Glass Jars (Pack of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm pretty new to coconut oil. I've been reading about it's benefits and using it for less then 6mo. The first brand I tried was the cheap Walmart brand...Louana. I liked the benefits so much that I decided to try better stuff. I picked up a jar of Nutiva and was pleasantly surprised how much better it was then Louana. Louana had no taste or smell, while Nutiva tasted and smelled like coconut. It absorbed much better into my skin and hair also. I'm a curious soul so I decided to try a "raw" coconut brand and tried Coconut Pacific and it blew me away!! I tasted and smelled like "FRESH" cracked open coconuts! Nutiva tastes and smells like toasted coconuts. While this isn't a bad thing in my book, I prefer the fresher taste of Coconut Pacific. I'll never buy Louana again and I'll use Nutiva on my skin and hair or when I cook and bake. Coconut Pacific is my go to EVCO when I put it in my coffee or on toast, bread, oatmeal, or straight out of the jar!!! Its more expensive then Nutiva and I wish Amazon had larger jars of this stuff but it's by far my favorite!!! Try it and you'll be ruined and broke like me but HAPPY!!

This 100% raw coconut oil is cold pressed from USDA certified organic coconuts immediately after picking to maintain the integrity of its active ingredients. It has an exceptionally mild taste so you can use it to prepare any food without imparting a strong coconut flavor. Coconut oil/butter is an instant energy source but contains no cholesterol, no trans-fatty acids, and is not hydrogenated. It is excellent as a food and as a lotion for the skin.

KTC 100% Pure Coconut Oil 250ml (Pack of 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Coconut oil has wonderful moisturizing properties. This particular brand is my favourite because it has no odor; I can't stand stinky lotions and oils. I use it only for topical application but it is edible too (saturated fat alert!). It is great as a pre-wash hair conditioner, and just add some turbinado sugar to make a sugar scrub/moisturizer in the shower- winter dryness will be gone! It's a little pricey though- Still love it

Paragon 16-4 ounce Lou Ana Coco-Pop Popcorn Oil Bars (4-16oz packs) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, please don't pay attention to the review by Amy Browntoe. She was clearly high on some form of narcotic if she thought this product was a Twinkie..
Coco-Pop is amazing! I've been becoming a popcorn specialist over the last several months ever since getting an oil popper for my family. I've been looking for that perfect, "at the movie theater" popcorn. Here's the secret.. coconut oil and flavacol salt. this is what the movie theaters actually use.
I got the flavacol first, and man is that stuff amazing. if you could only choose one or the other, I'd choose the flavacol. but I also wanted to try the coconut oil. all of the jars of actual coconut oil for sale are huge, enough to last a life time. and expensive. So I saw this product as an easy way to test out the waters... it's cheap, not too much of it, and as an added bonus, it's super easy to store and measure. Just use a butter knife to cut off a portion.
The directions say one bar is good for 12-16oz of popcorn. I used about 1/4 stick for 3/4 cup of un-popped popcorn. That seemed pretty good for me, maybe a bit less, I'm not sure.. still experimenting with the perfect amount. Just added it to your popper first, it will melt in a matter of seconds, then add the popcorn.
when all is said and done, you'll have a wonderful aroma filling your house, perfect coloring, and amazing popcorn that leaves you wanting more. I'm glad my kids love this so much. I'm sure to have started a tradition that will last for generations, as we are having great memories making and eating the popcorn together.
HIGHLY recommended.

Certified Organic, Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Centrifuge Extracted, 1 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered a 1 gallon bucket of extra virgin traditional philippine processed coconut oil through this company for a second time. the first time around was happy with product and delivery. this time around however when i received the oil today inside the box the bucket was already half ajar when i pulled it out to futher inspect you could also see brown spots at the bottom of the bucket (within the oil itself) indicating the product had turned bad. I called the wilderness family 800 number from my invoice and was rather annoyed when they instructed me to return it to them so they could inspect if for themselve to determine if indeed the product is bad. So not only did i originally pay $54.95 for the product plus $10.95 for shipping but now i have to pay to return it to them because i have no use for it. The thing that annoyed me most about this is that in the past when i have ordered food items online on the rare occasion when there has been a problem with that product the supplier has always paid to either have it returned to them or told me to discard the product and then promptly replaced it. some companies have even given me some of their other products as well for the inconvenience. It is beyond me how a company who is clearly making alot of money from these coconut oils insists upon having the customer come out of pocket again to return it to them. I will be finding another company to purchase my coconut oil from in the future.

Paragon Coconut Popcorn Popping Oil (Gallon) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have identified 3 critical parts to the movie theatre popcorn you love. I will break it down for you:
1- Paragon Coconut Popping Oil = Provides the 'nutty/toasted' flavor, the odor that permeates the local cinema, and yellow hue to the popped corn
2- Flavacol = The pseudo-buttery flavor and ultra-fine salt of good cinema popcorn.
3- *Butter-flavored topping = that goo you get when you ask for "extra 'butter' " at the concessions counter.
I hesitated buying this at first ... thinking "$15 ... is it really worth it?" I procrastinated buying Flavacol because it seemed silly that shipping cost more than the product itself. Well, now after 1.5 years I still haven't used up either product and spent less than $30 total for popcorn that is absolutely incredible.
*IMPORTANT* - I read a review that stated the purchaser was dissatisfied because it wasn't 100% Coconut oil. The label on the back says "76 (degree symbol)" coconut oil plus beta carotene NOT "76% Coconut oil" . It's 100% Coconut Oil mixed with beta carotene (for yellow color). The "76 (degree symbol)" refers to the melting temperature of the coconut oil. [I had it sitting on the counter when it was 80 degrees indoors and it started to melt ... later that same evening when the A/C brought the house to 74 degrees for a couple of hours ... it began solidifying again. Neat.]
This popcorn oil is a solid at room temperature* (less than 76F) and provides NO butter flavor. It does not require refrigeration once opened. It DOES provide the 'missing ingredient' between cinema popcorn an your homemade popcorn. Been using some form of vegetable-oil haven't you? It JUST doesn't taste correct, right? Add about a heaping spoonful of this 'popping oil' (solid, remember) to a batch of stove-top popcorn and you're done. (I have tried 'gourmet' popcorns, white popcorn, etc ... but have found that plane-jane barebones no-frills yellow popcorn from your local store actually tastes best.)
If you want 100% theatre-like popcorn ... you'll have to substitute #3> above with the 'butter-flavored topping' of your choice. But, to be honest, that goo kind of turns my stomach. The butter does soften the popcorn slightly (there's a little water in the butter after all) but it's still awesome.
I prepare my popcorn using a stovetop hand-crank popcorn popper, add a heaping spoonful of the 'oil' (remember, solid at room temperature) and 3/4 tsp of flavacol. Top with 3 tbs of butter melted in the microwave and you're done. Bliss. Heaven. It's soooooooo good.

Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil, 29-Ounce Jars (Pack of 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My bf and I both have subscriptions for this coconut oil. It's a great way to get it for an AMAZING price. I used to order the larger size and I was disappointed when it was unavailable for a while and I had to order the two pack in this smaller size (although really 29 ounces is not that small) but in the end I like it much better. With two smaller ones we can each have one if we end up running out around the same time otherwise, half of the coconut oil stays fresh and unopened. Oh, and if you want to put some on right after a shower, the smaller jar is more likely to actually fit in your shower.
We tried other coconut oils and they were...well...gross. Really rancid tasting. We use this in deep dish pizza crust and the one time we used another brand we basically ruined two giant 14 inch pizza pies. We also use it for flour tortillas, pie crust, refried beans, smoothies, coffee cake, um, all kinds of things. I am planning to try using it instead of butter in a croissant recipe, although I expect it will be quite tricky since it melts at a slightly lower temperature than butter, and gets harder when it hardens. Put it in the fridge and it is hard as a rock.
Anyway, we now use this stuff about as much as we use olive oil, and we've found it actually showing up in recipes in some newer cookbooks now, too, rather than us just trying to substitute and seeing how it works out. It does have a strong coconut smell and flavor, which enhances some recipes in a FABULOUS way, but may be detrimental in others.

Nutiva's coconut oil is cold-pressed, organic extra-virgin coconut oil, with its light taste, pleasant aroma, and pure white color, and industrialized coconut oil, with its bland taste, faint aroma, and off-white color. Please note that any tiny brown specks found at the bottom of Nutiva's coconut oil are from the coconut fiber and are indigenous to extra-virgin coconut oil. It is deliciously healthy cooking oil. Better than butter and are USDA organic. Unrefined with no trans fats, rich in lauric acid.

Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, 54-Ounce Jar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've tried two of the major coconut oil brands that I order via the internet. I've been using the oil in food and on my skin for about 5 years. I ordered this just to see how it tasted because the price was so good, if it didn't taste right, I'd just use it on my skin. It is the BEST tasting oil I've tried. Tropical Traditions, Coconut Oil Supreme pale in comparison. This is truly a coconut oil you could eat right out of the jar. If you want to try a coconut oil that tastes as good as it smells, this is it. And the price is fabulous. Yea, Nutiva and Amazon!

A deliciously healthy cooking oil. Better than butter. USDA organic. Unrefined & no trans fats. Rich in lauric acid. A soothing body oil. The coconut oil myth. Coconut oil has been mistakenly described as not healthy. The fact is, coconut oil is cholesterol-free and rich in medium-chain good fats that doctors recommend. Why is it that baby formulas often include coconut oil? Because coconut is one of the world's most nourishing super foods. Nutritionists suggest enjoying up to 3 tbsp of extra-virgin coconut oil each day, so help yourself to this heavenly, creamy taste of the tropics. Nutiva's cold-pressed Coconut Oil is: Extra-virgin & pure white: not refined, deodorized or bleached! Organic: so it's free from pesticides, GMOs and hexane. Versatile: Ideal as high-heat cooking oil (up to 350 degrees), as a nutritious substitute in baking, a better-than-butter replacement on bread, vegetables or popcorn, and as a luscious oil for skin care, hair care, and massage. America needs an oil change. While doctors suggest we consume a 4:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3, the average American diet provides a ratio of 20:1 or more - contributing to heart disease, skin disorders, and arterial inflammation. So avoid out of balance soy, corn, and canola oils with their trans fats, oxidation, and GMOs. Cook with coconut oil (with only 1% Omega-6), and use olive oil (also low in Omega-6), and hemp oil (with the perfect 3:1 Omega ratio) for unheated recipes. Nature's ideal all-purpose cooking oil. No trans or hydrogenated fat; no cholesterol or hexane. Unlike other brands, we press our coconuts within 2 hours of chopping. No refrigeration required. Solid at room temperature and melts at 76 degrees. Any coconut husk fibers at the bottom of the jar are indigenous to the processing and harmless. Coconut oil contains medium-chain good fats with 50-55% lauric acid - a healthful nutrient that supports the metabolism. Certified organic by QAI. Product of the Philippines.
