Theresa, I thought I'd let you know how extra impressed I've been with the babassu over this past weekend. My vehicle conked out on me the other day just after noontime as I was driving home from running some errands, and I spent about 50 minutes out by the side of the road in our blistering 110F weather waiting for the tow tuck to show up. Thankfully, it couldn't have conked out in a better place as there were some protective, shady trees nearby to sit under, and it also helped that the last errand I ran was to pick up some In & Out burgers and drinks for myself and my son and my nephew who were with me, but it was still quite the sweat-fest, and we were all quite drippy/glisteny by the time the tow guy showed up......... buuuut my pits stayed smelling pretty. Aaaaand they stayed smelling pretty the rest of the day without me having to re-apply anything.

I'm sorry about your car. I'm sure you've had it fixed by now (I really need to check this thread more often.) But I'm soooo thrilled that the babassu is working for you. I really like the fact that it is not greasy feeling and absorbs well into the skin. I've noticed that my pit hairs don't grow as much/fast when I'm using babassu directly on the pits. Anyone else notice that? I've been trying doriettefarm's "Pit Stop Lotion" for the past couple of weeks and have growth, so I guess it is the babassu oil alone that is inhibiting hair growth. (Unless I'm just imagining it.) I thought it was kind of interesting. I'm going to have to shave my legs then use babassu on one and not the other to see if there is any kind of delay in growth on the babassu leg. This is turning into a miracle oil. LOL.
