Homemade Exfoliator
Combine coconut oil with organic coconut sugar or ground coffee beans to create a homemade facial or body scrub that will help remove dry skin.
Do this twice weekly for smooth skin that is less likely to develop ingrown hairs, acne, blackheads, or other unwanted dullness. (Dr. Axe Recipe)
Laundry Detergent
Combine coconut oil with lye, water, and essential oils of your
choice to create a non-toxic soapy liquid that is perfect for cleaning clothes. The formula will not irritate your skin or have a negative affect on fabric, like many store-bought detergents can. This is a great solution for sensitive skin and those prone to allergies. (Dr. Axe Recipe)
