Coconut oil and saturated fats...

Mr. CooL ICE

I take a teaspoon twice daily and it has helped the dryness in my hands (stupid eternally cold winter). The backs of my knuckles still feel a little rough, but the irritation/itch is completely gone

I bought a really expensive one in Nourish for exactly this purpose (well when i say expensive I mean 4 times the cost of the Cocowell one you can get in Dunnes and Superquinn which is 5.99), it was in a jar and it smashed a couple of weeks in :mad: I then discovered the Cocowell one about three weeks ago, and I have to say, it isn't doing as good a job as the more expensive brand (I can't remember the name of it!)

Does anyone know why raw cold pressed virgin coconut oil (so it says on the jars of both) can range from between 6 euros to 26 euros (not much of a difference in weight either, about 100gm give or take).... does the quality of virgin coconut oils differ that much? I don't know if my mind's playing tricks on me but I could swear the more expensive one relieved my dry chapped skin a lot quicker than this cheaper brand seems to be, it feels like it's just sitting on top of my skin this time and not being drank in by it at all. thanks if anyone can help!!
