Because I like to have good reason for all I endeavor, I did my research. It turns out that coconut oil- virgin and certifiably organic, unrefined, unbleached etc. etc.- has incredible health benefits due to its lauric acid and other properties.
As a reminder for those of you who may not be current on nutrition facts, lauric acid is found in a mother's breast milk. It contains many of the nutrients that help newborns fight disease and boost their development. For adults the product should be outstanding used topically for skin and hair, as well as for easing infections and chronic illnesses when eaten raw or used in cooking certain foods.
It only took 3 hours for me to find it. First stop- Wal-Mart. After perusing through the pharmacy aisles, I asked a salesperson who barely spoke English and apparently thought I meant cocoa butter. Then, I asked the lady at the pharmacy counter if they had it. She mumbled something about having big bottles but now only having little bottles. I scanned the rows she had pointed to row-by-row. Nothing.
Next stop was Trader Joe's. I walked down every aisle, and still nothing. The third place I tried was a Caribbean/African foods store. At least it offered three types of coconut water and four brands of coconut milk. And when I had to GPS a GNC, I came across a Whole Foods. And there it was! In fact there were two different brands to choose from. It was a lovely moment. Lesson: If all else fails for extra virgin anything, check Whole Foods.
Since I have been using the product, for three hours to be exact, it has made my skin smooth and shiny. Plus, my hair is no longer dry and it is full of life! Good job EVCO! Good job!
