I have been using coconut oil as a moisturizer for about a year now. I like the really low price, I love the smell, and I love that it's all natural. But I still have not gotten over that gross, oily feeling you have immediately get after spreading the coconut oil over my skin. I know that a lot of other people avoid using coconut oil for this reason. So I decided to make a body butter that absorbs better, but still has all of the things I like about coconut oil.
