Where do you get liquid coconut oil?
You can use fractionated coconut oil and you don’t have to melt it like regular coconut oil in a jar. I purchased mine on Amazon and it came in a pump bottle that is easy to use in my diy skin projects. It works great in scrub recipes
for how long you can keep these lotions?
