That will definitely work as an effective moisturizer, like I said, if you're okay with it solidifying at room temp 😂

I use so little moisturizer that what I have will last a long time, but when it's done, I plan to try this. Actually I'll probably try just straight coconut oil and see how it goes...

We should all try and be more frugal

Make your own moisturizer without artificial scents or synthetic preservatives:  melt a cup of coconut oil in the microwave, add a cup of olive oil or MCT oil, (optional: half a cup of microwaved shea butter or beeswax - if you prefer a more solid consistency than liquid) and stir. That's it! 

To turn this mix (including shea butter and beeswax) into deodorant, you can add a cup of arrowroot starch and a few drops of essential oil (like grapefruit or any other scent you like). 

To make soap, follow the same steps but add lye instead of the arrowroot starch, shea butter and beeswax. 

There are plenty of recipes online, and you'll be surprised how versatile coconut oil and a few of these other easily accessible materials are :)
