I actually use it on my kids right out of the tub and on their hair. It’s great for cooking and moisturizing!

I add salt and some essential oils and use it to make a great exfoliating scrub for in the shower. I agree that I’d rather use an oil that I can pronounce than a lotion full of parabens, mineral oil, and silicones. Olive oil is great, but canola is cheaper and lighter.

i’d rather put any kid of oil — even canola — on my dry skin than a cheap, commercial chemical soup lotion. canola oil is inexpensive, we keep it around to cook with anyway, and it’s odorless which is a plus when your boyfriend hates the strong nutty scent of richer oils like shea or olive. in a pinch, i’ll rub a bit on my hands after say, doing dishes since it’s in the kitchen anyway and it’s great for a light bit of conditioning to dry hair too.

Read the articles that explain how harmful lotions actually are. Many of the ingredients cause cancer. You can just type ”is lotion harmful” in the search engine and you’ll find what your looking for. I would much rather put oil ( extra virgin olive oil) in replace to any type of lotion on the market. Oatmeal works wonders too look that up as well.

Karen: Surfactants are a fancy term for detergents. Think of them as a type of soap, although that’s not exactly technically correct.
