Viva Naturals Organic Coconut Oil, 16 fl oz – Unrefined, Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, USDA Organic & Non-GMO, Natural Cooking Oil, Hair Oil & Skin Oil

I’ve been using this virgin coconut oil for a while now, and I’m impressed! It’s 100% pure, natural, and smells amazing. Perfect for skin, hair, and even cooking. My hair feels softer and more manageable, and my skin is deeply moisturized without feeling greasy. A versatile, high-quality product that’s definitely worth adding to your daily routine!

I love this coconut oil because it's so versatile. I use it for cooking, moisturizing my skin and hair, and the results are fantastic. You can tell it's high quality because it has a very natural scent and it's organic. Plus, the container is large and lasts a long time. I highly recommend it!

I've been eating and using unrefined coconut oil for years. There are a lot of good brands out now that weren't back in the day. I used to buy from an online company years ago and they were quite expensive. I always have great luck with Viva Naturals. This large container will last awhile and the price is very good compared to others. You get good quality coconut oil. The label doesn't have to say "extra virgin", but just "virgin" to be the same unrefined, cold-pressed oil. If it's real white, smells like fresh coconuts, you've got a quality oil. This coconut oil will last at least 2-3 years if I don't run out of it. I put a big scoop every day in my collagen shake for health reasons. I need to microwave it just a little bit to get it soft enough to scoop. Since it is saturated fat (the healthy kind) it will get very firm at temps below 72 degrees or thereabout. If it's particularly warm in your kitchen/house, it will liquify some depending on how warm the air is. You can't go wrong with unrefined coconut oil. So many uses. I dab a little on a skin sore or dry skin and it's good. I put it on my chapped lips for a moisturizer. You can oil-pull for your teeth also. This stuff is made by God I believe. It's antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial. This is a good, cost-effective brand I recommend. If consuming on a regular basis, you'll need to start with a small amount and build it up to avoid any digestive issues. The oil is potent. And and one more thing, it's great to cook and bake with. Healthier than refined seed oils and shortening.

Absolutely love this coconut oil! It’s pure, organic, and smells amazing. I use it for cooking, baking, and skincare, and it works perfectly every time. Great quality and a little goes a long way. Will definitely repurchase!

I’ve really enjoyed using Viva Naturals Organic Coconut Oil, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen and skincare routine. The unrefined, cold-pressed quality gives it a clean, natural coconut scent that feels fresh without being too strong. I love how versatile it is - I’ve used it for cooking, baking, and even for my hair, and it performs well in each case. The 16 fl oz jar is a convenient size and easy to scoop from, though the oil being solid at room temperature sometimes means I have to warm it up before using it. Also, the light coconut flavor won’t fit every recipe, but it works beautifully in most of the dishes I make. Overall, this is a reliable, high-quality coconut oil that offers great value. It’s pure, pleasant to use, and fits nicely into both my culinary and self-care routines. A solid 4-star product.

I'm very strict with my diet. I eat only organic foods, practice CRON (calorie restriction with optimal nutrition), eat minimal carbs and lots of nutrients. I've tested 7 brands of organic coconut oil -- Nature's Way, Nutiva, Spectrum Naturals, Bronner's, Ziggy Marley Organics, VivaLabs, and 2 small scale raw food companies. Nature's Way and VivaLabs are the best so far. The aroma of Nature's Way and VivaLabs both are wonderful. The texture is much fuller than the other brands. This coconut oil has bolder taste and less watered-down feeling than the other brands. I know that the way coconut oil (and all oils for that matter) is processed is very important. Better processing methods preserve more nutrients, increase the natural flavor and aroma, and improved digestibility. So if you're looking for a good organic coconut oil, this is one by Nature's Way is excellent, as is VivaLabs brand too. Now for some quick facts about how amazingly healthy this stuff is: 1) Medium chain fatty acids --> Digest very easily without requiring the gall bladder to do much work. Most fats require the body to work harder for digestion. Medium chain fatty acids energy the blood stream very quickly, with less digestion time than slow or long chain fatty acids, found in other oils. This makes coconut oil excellent for people missing gallbladders, having digestive problems or suffering from chronic fatigue. 2) Converts to usable energy very quickly. Coconut oil is a much more balanced and less manic energy than any carbohydrate (fructose, lactose, glucose, etc). Carbohydrate break down quickly and elevate blood sugar and insulin levels rapidly. This creates the surge and crash. With coconut oil, the energy is delivered more slowly and evenly than carbs. Many people feel deeply nourished by coconut oil, like the food energy goes deeper within the body. 3) Anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal. Coconut oil keeps your digestive system very clean inside. It will destroy candida, and common cold bacteria and flu viruses. This helps to balance intestinal (probiotic) bacteria and gives the immune system support. Less sickness and more energy! 4) Longer lasting energy without insulin levels being adversely affected. Fats are the cleanest burning energy for our body. Carbohydrates cause insulin levels to raise and crash, which is what creates the "eat every 3 hours" cravings that so many people this is hunger. Healthy fats, like this oil, will not affect insulin and give us much more stable energy that last longer in the body. 5) Tastes great. Smells great. 6) Can be used topically to make the skin very soft. Coconut oil is absorbed directly into the skin to nourish it (like a food for the skin), unlike most cosmetic moisturizers create a coating on top the skin. These often leave residue or cause long-term dryness by unbalancing the body's innate skin oil balance. Coconut supports the skin's natural oil balance. This also helps to reduce wrinkles! 7) Great for hair and can be used as a leave-on conditioner. Like it's skin use, coconut oil will not imbalance the hair's natural oils.... unlike chemical-based conditioners. Plus, because coconut is anti-"everything bad" it will keep the hair clean too. Because there are so many different types of hair (dry, cracking, split ends, oily, curly, straight, etc) experiment with what works best. Try applying the oil only the the ends for extra protection from split ends. Or only to the scalp to stop dandruff (caused by scalp bacteria, often candida) or prevent hair loss. 8)Natural soap for the body. Myself, some of my friends and others use coconut oil as a soap for the body. Most bar soaps and liquid bath soaps remove the skin's natural oils and create dry skin. In fact, most people have dry skin and fail to see that the bath soap is causing it! We still need to clean our skin, but using coconut oil is better than soap in many cases. You may want to soap under the armpits, between the legs, on the hands and feet. But for the arms, legs, and torso (areas prone to dryness) try using only coconut oil. Here's the protocol that I use. 1) Dry skin brush my entire body before stepping in the shower, to remove dead skin cells and increase blood flow to the skin (redness is good). 2) Rise the body with hot water to open the pores and increase blood flow to the skin. 3) Use a wet cloth or your hand to rub the skin rinse clean any loose skin cells. 4) Turn off the water and use your fingers/hands to rub a light layer of coconut oil everywhere (minus your head hair). A light layer is all that is needed. Apply with your skin still wet and you'll see the water bead up. 5) Turn back on the water, this time to warm/cool, and rise off the excess coconut oil. Run your hand lightly over your skin to spread the excess coconut oil into places that may have less, and to help remove the excess altogether. Lightly is the key - you don't want to remove the oil completely. 6) Exit the shower and lightly tap dry your skin with a towel (do not rub your take off the oil) or air dry. The skin will absorb the coconut oil in a few minutes. Your skin will be soft to the touch and not oily. Don't worry, coconut is not like other oils - it won't stain your clothes or make them smell rancid. 9) Sunscreen and suntan lotion. Coconut oil protects the skin from the effects too much sunlight. Technically, coconut oil does not block the sunlight, like a UV sunblock would. Instead it prevents the harmful chemical reaction skin bacteria and skin fungus can have when exposed to the suns UV rays. It also moisturizes the skin, reflects back some light (the shine), and prevents sunburn. Personally, I lay out in the summertime sun in Arizona, Florida and Hawaii and when wearing coconut oil I can be out for 4-6 hours and not burn. In these powerful suns, 30 minutes to 1 hour of exposure without coconut oil and my skin is red and will peel days later. Although coconut oil does not block UV, it does wonders to protect the skin and create a great tan. 10) Can be used as a sexual lubricant. Coconut oil is a natural anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial lubricant which helps keep these organs clean and reduce the spread of unwanted problem. 11) Coconut oil detox cleanse. The medium chain fatty acids make this and ideal food for detox cleanses because the energy is available with minimal digestive effort, plus all of it's anti-"everything bad" properties. The detox cleanse is a 3 to 7 day process where all carbohydrate foods are removed and coconut oil is eaten as the primary energy source (approx. 14 Tablespoons each day). The oil can be combined with organic lemon water as well. You can find the instructions by Googling "Natural News Coconut Oil Cleanse". This is a very powerful detoxification because the bad guys are being killed by the oil. So be mindful. That's it! I hope you enjoyed this review. The bottom line is that coconut oil is simply amazing! Nature's Way and VivaLabs brands are the best I've found so far. Enjoy! *** Update: I found a good website for coconut oil information and recipes. It has summaries of many studies on coconut oil. Visit coconutdiet (dotcom)

I was having issues with my hair - it was all over my home, I could put my hand through it and pull out a massive amount each and every time. My stylist was telling me that it was falling out like crazy when she washed it and that it was really dry. I do color it but not frequently and it was more likely from stress and life and not taking proper care of it specifically. My stylist told me she had purchased Coconut Oil from Amazon for her own hair but I didn't know what kind but I knew I wanted to try it, not just for what it is supposed to do for your hair, but also for my skin as well as eating (or drinking) it daily in my food. At first I tried to eat it as a tablespoon as it is suggested on several websites I have read. It was 'oily', yes but had this sort of after 'cling' that I found hard to handle at first. Not the 'hard to handle and I wont try again' sort but the 'hard to handle, It will be better tomorrow, it's growing on me' sort. And it did get better as the days went on. Now I love it. For my hair, I may put 3-4 fingertips dipped in the bowl two times as I have a lot of hair. I put it all over but my ends especially. I sometimes do it in the morning if I am staying home. It has a really yummy pleasant smell too. I don't make my hair greasy but I do saturate it enough so I see the shine all over and that it coats the tresses that were unruly (frizzy parts from coloring or just dry etc.) It has worked very well and now I sometimes put it on when I am going out and let it do its wonders. I have noticed my hair is not falling out as much as it was but I also started taking Magnesium and brushing it daily (which I did not do in the past, I left it natural thinking doing less was good for it.... NOT) IMHO. I love the shine it gives my hair as I used to put products on my hair to specifically give it shine and this is one of the perks with Coconut Oil. I also have found that if I add 1-2 tablespoons everyday to my oatmeal before I cook it and add some nuts and dried berries or raisins after I cook it, it is creamy and delish!! It has always been a little thick and creamy but this definitely made it more creamy in a good way. The extra added flavor of the coconut also was minimal but enough to give it a tiny boost. I have been using the product religiously every day. I dont know if I see any tangible results from the small amount of time I have been using it for nutritional reasons but I do notice how it makes my hair and skin better. I have looked at many brands and types of oil and this had everything I was suggested was the optimal product. I keep some in a a bowl in the fridge and when I want to use it for skin or hair, I take it out to melt and use that. I separated it from the big jar because it is important, (I have read) to not put anything but a clean item in the main jar so as not to contaminate the product or make it have less effective properties. So I only use a large spoon that I wash before and after and I have the bowl in the fridge to dip my fingers in for hair and skin. When you leave it out, it melts, depending on the temperature to either a pure liquid oil or maybe a little is creamy like. Once you pour it in a bowl and place it in the fridge, it will harden again. It's really easy to use on many things, smells great, tastes good once you acquire a taste for it, which I have now and is not expensive in respect to all the good it can do and products it can replace. I like the brand Viva Labs. I would recommend this product and brand. I bought the large one as it lasts a long time, doesn't necessarily go bad quickly and I can separate it as I choose.

This is a great product to have it's super natural, leave your skin feeling soft, it's super easy to use and not too oily. You can use it in your hair, on your skin and also in your lotion or face cream, it is colorless.
