almond oil vs. coconut oil (need advice, thanx)?




Purple


hi. i've decided to use one of these as a moisturizer because every moisturizer (including the ones that docs prescribe) give me allergy. which one is better for winter, stronger - coconut or almond?

thanx a lot



Answer
Coconut oil is stronger but almond oil seems to really get into the skin and adds moisture. If the problem is sensitivity to moisturisers I would recommend 100% unrefined shea butter. It's the most amazing thing for sensitive skin. It does have a bit of a smell but if you melt it and add a little almond oil to it, it'll be ok. Try it your skin will love you for it. It's easy to find it online or at the health food store, granted it's waaay cheaper on line. The pro is that it actually adds Hylauronic acid to the skin and that acts like a magnet for moisture, so your skin stays hydrated all day.

do they sell cocoa mix made without Coconut oil in it because i have nut allergy?

I seen some before but, I can't find it anymore I just too drink it all the time. But than I found out it had coconut oil in it. I use too think I was just putting too many packs of cocoa in the water. I thought was making me each,( I have a eczema so a lot of things make itch if I have too much) so I put less in it but I was still ictchy so I finally read it and I found out coconut oil was in it. Which I'm allergic too! I tried making it homemade but it comes out all wrong. (Nasty!) I found some before that didn't it in it but now I can't find it any more. I tried Busches and Walmart both didn't have it. So help me with this because I haven't had hot chocolate in nearly 2 years if you count when I made it a year.
I use to drink Swiss miss and Nestle both has coconut in it which I'm allergic too. Coconut is a basicly a tree nut but not really but close. So please no smart comments about it not being a nut. I already tried making it homemade and I just want to buy some. I'm 16 and my mom dosen't like me really making anything that I'm going to waste which I will if I make. I tried to make it before with the Hershey's cocoa.



Answer
Ah!laska appears to be coconut oil/nut products free: http://www.ahlaska.com/productlist.aspx?catid=Organic+Cocoa


ETA: Please do not use the recipe calling for non-dairy creamer because most non-dairy creamers contain coconut oil or palm kernel oil (you should also avoid palm/palm kernel because coconut is in the palm family.)
