Did you know that commercial, "deodorised" coconut oils are typically heated to over 210 degrees celcius (yes, that's celcius!)? So why on earth would you try to de-odorise coconut oil, which typically smells beautifully light and "coconutty"? Largely because these same coconut oils are made from the lowest quality of coconuts that have typically been left in huge piles until fermented to such an excessive level that they go mouldy and off, turning the beautiful coconut smell to a rather repulsive smell that needs to be removed to get people to buy it. (See picture below) Needless to say, we recommend avoiding "deodorised" coconut oil at all costs!

I was excited when I thought I was looking at a pile of cacao... not so much when I realized it was 'white' coconut flesh. Ouch!

On the subject of coconut-i put coconut oil  on my little babies ears this morning(one of my beautiful cats)he has some ezcema and he was itching and frowning,so i put some on for him..he was wriggling a bit but still purring beautifully
And it won't hurt him if he licks it off,he's looking very slick around the face at the moment,makes me giggle...

It certainly helps my itchy spots and is good even though I smell like a chocolate crackle.

I hope it helps your baby too.

Thanks Joss,you know,i knew it reminded me of something,it's that copha smell that i vaguely remembered from a child,when mum use to make chocolate crackles-for"special" occasions....

Notice how when people are on cooked,it's the worst food that bought out for those "special" occasions...funny but twoo...
