Skin Care Benefits: Sumbody Coconut Butter

Coconut Oil.  Since the write up “Skin Care Health with Coconut Oil” last week all the gals at my office are taking their daily tablespoon of the good stuff (and thanks to Sean)!

I wanted to add an additional review of a fabulous body butter that I discovered that uses coconut oil and has made my legs, arms, elbows and heels feel especially yummy this summer!  Those gosh darn heels of mine have been especially needy.  During the summer I spend a lot of time barefoot in my yard, and the elements are not always kind to your skin.

Sumbody’s Pure Coconut Butter combines nourishing Vitamin E and moisturizing essential fatty acids made from the milk of Virgin Coconuts.  Don’t know exactly what qualifies a coconut to be virgin or not, but whatever works!

This Coconut Butter is a concentrated, nourishing and hydrating skin conditioner.  I have also had great success while using this on my newly shaven legs without any irritation!

My only reservation while using this body butter is that it goes on a tad greasy, but within a few minutes is nicely absorbed into your skin.  Also you need to store this butter in a relatively cool spot, because coconut oil melts at a relatively low temperature.  If it gets too warm you will have a liquid rather than a solid body butter.  It doesn’t affect the products integrity, but will application a bit more complicated and messy.

P.S.  On a completely unrelated note, my friends at my local market suggested that I try a frozen confection called Larry and Luna’s Coconut Bliss.  Let’s just say, vegan or not, it will rock your socks!  The Dark Chocolate is divine and their web site is completely fun!
