Coconut Oil Smell

[chris21908]

im not too familiar with coconut oil, but is it suppose to smell like coconut? Yesterday I purchased a bottle of LouAnna Coconut Oil at my local walmart. i popped open the lid expecting to get a nice whiff of coconut but it has no smell at all! it was $5.47 for a 31oz bottle. is this acceptable or should i buy a better quality? how can you tell the difference between good and bad quality CO?

its fine. that is the exact same kind i get. I love it. it really dont have a smell to it.

hey chris,
The smell hasn't got much to do with the quality. Unrefined coconut oil smells like coconut and refined doesn't.

None of the co i have bought smelled like coconut, but they work great for soap. If you want coc smell, you may have to buy a fo that has that smell, peak hs a good coc milk fo.

something I have been thinking about trying.
add fresh coconut milk at trace for not only the scent but the extra vitamins and such.
when I did this with the mango the scent was very intoxicating
hmm
further thought
pinapple juice + coconut milk + half and half = pina colada......soap?
sounds good

Layne, did you use fresh mango ?

If you do try the pina colada please post results. I wonder whether the acidity in the pineapple will have any adverse effect on the soap.

yep, did the fresh mango and cantaloupe
remember the pink rounds i posted awhile back?
still smells just as fresh as the day i made it.

will have to research the benifits of pineapple for the skin also.

Extra Virgin Unprocessed Coconut Oil smells like coconut. *swoons* I love it but the smell doesn't stay around in soap.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the acids in Pineapple juice may do something to the lye reaction???
