I am so impressed with Grandma Minnie’s Oil’s Well Nurturing Do-It-Oil. There are just two ingredients–USDA certified organic virgin coconut oil and monolaurin (antibacterial agent found in coconut oil)–and as the packaging indicates, a wide variety of uses. The 9.47 fl oz / 280 mL bottle comes with a pump and a scoop because the oil does solidify in cool temperatures. Not to worry though, because the oil warms up easily (place the bottle in warm water) and literally melts with your body temperature. The consistency of the oil isn’t exactly buttery smooth, but looks slightly grainy. There isn’t anything that is abrasive at all though, and the oil absorbs quickly into your skin, leaving a faint layer of oily residue. And in the scent department, what I really like is that there is just the faintest scent of coconut, nothing else.
My skin feels so hydrated and smooth after application from head to toe. The pores on my face don’t appear as large and my break out blemishes are not as unsightly red. The skin around my waist and hips–which get rather scaly dry during the winter–is much less irritated. And it has worked wonders at diminishing the bruises on my legs and softening the rough heels of my feet. I’ve also used the Do-It-Oil to tame flyways, sooth nicks from shaving or paper cuts, for massages…this is an amazing multi-tasking product.
The 9.47 fl oz / 280 mL bottle costs $30.00 and is available from VMV Hypoallergenics or Dermstore. VMV Hypoallergenics has a 30% off sale through the end of Janauary-2013 so the Do-It-Oil is on sale for $25.50. I would definitely buy this product again.
