I love this organic virgin and fair-trade coconut oil from Thrive Market (which is like Costco online but for healthy products). Their coconut oil is 40% off retail. (And Thrive sells many other of my favorite healthy products at 30-50% off normal prices!)
Today, I’m sharing my top 101 (yes 101!) uses for coconut oil:
