“How We Discovered Virgin Coconut Oil - An Interview with Brian Shilhavy, CEO Tropical Traditions” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h6eycjf29M
Tropical Traditions sent me the Citrus-Mint Skin Exfoliator. This one shown is Lavender Scented.
The Citrus-Mint is a golden color and a little liquidy when you open the jar. You need to stir it up and then it gets a grainy kind of feeling to it. Like sticking your finger into a bowl of sugar. Apply this to any rough spots on your skin like elbows, feet and hands. Leave it on for about one minute and then rinse with warm water. Makes your skin feel soft and even smells great.
Excellent, kitchen-tested recipes can be found on the Free Coconut Recipes blog here http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/index.htm. At this website you will see the many different ways coconut can be used in cooking!
How Tropical Traditions Organic Skin Exfoliators are Different
Filipinos are well-known for their youthful appearance and soft skin, even though they live in a climate that exposes them to the sun’s rays year round. Coconut oil is their main dietary oil, and is also the main ingredient in their skin care products.
All of the Skin Exfoliators that Tropical Traditions offers are made with organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Virgin Palm Oil. No other products on the market are made with finer oils as their base. Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is traditionally made from fresh organic coconuts, and independent laboratory tests show that it has a higher level of antioxidants than other coconut oils.
Virgin Palm Oil contains high concentrations of a powerful form of Vitamin E called “tocotrienols” which published research has shown is 40–60 times more potent than alpha-tocopherol (the most common form of Vitamin E found as an additive in most skin care products.) In addition to these powerful Vitamin E tocotrienols, Virgin Palm Oil is also rich in natural carotenes. It is one of the richest natural plant sources of carotenes with concentrations of 500–700 ppm. It is 15 times more retinol-equivalent than carrots and 300 times more than tomatoes, for example.
Other Ingredients
In addition to using only the best oils available for the skin, all other ingredients used in Tropical Traditions Skin Exfoliators are 100% natural. Our hand-made Exfoliators http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/organic_skin_exfoliators.htm
contain no alcohols, no artificial fragrances, and no petroleum products. Because we recognize that many have sensitivities to fragrances, we offer an unscented version. For the varieties that are scented, we only use high quality organic essential oils imported from France which are distilled with low temperature and low pressure over an extended period of time. Low temperature and lower pressure have proven to be the most effective method of obtaining all of the essential constituents from the plant, and provide our products with the very best quality fragrances available. For a complete description of all ingredients in each product, see the product descriptions below.
Exfoliating smoothes the skin, unclogs pores, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
These exfolitors come in either Lavender scented,Citrus Mint scented or Unscented.
