I believe they will keep the skin supple and firm too over time!

I would avoid the cheap coconut fat which is refined and not very good for you (if you want to be 100% sure, buy organic). Shea butter can also be found in shops focusing on helath or organic food.
Although it’s usually a lot cheaper to buy online. I don’t know where you’re based but if in Europe, I recommend this german site: http://www.kosmetische-rohstoffe.de/oscommerce/ (shea butter is the same and coconut oil is called kokos öl).

My crazy hair cannot live without hairspray, but my husband can’t stand the smell (I’ve tried every brand!) … and I always worry about what I’m spraying on my head, too! Thanks for the suggestion … I can’t wait to try it! Just wishing I had a lemon in my fridge right now …

I just did my own blog on the OCM not long ago. It is the one method that has work wonders for my skin, though I have branched out from castor oil and now use grapeseed or coconut oil. Great read!

Apply some to the scalp, leave on for at least 30 minutes and then wash off. The result is long, thick, shiny hair. It will also prevent hair loss. If you like you can also apply some to the lengths while your at it. Again, if you find that castor oil is too thick, add a bit of some other vegetable oil to it (olive or coconut for instance) – up to 50%. Tip! To remove the castor oil from your hair: if you use shampoo, apply the shampoo before wetting the hair. The same goes with the conditioner onlymethod. [...]

The best thing in this recipe is actually to substitute it simply with shea butter! It won’t be exactly the same thing but actually quite close. So that means 3 tbs shea butter to 1 tbs vegetable oil. Other wise you follow the recipe like it is. I haven’t made this exact recipe with only shea butter, but my guess is that it will be slightly more solid than with coconut (if you find it too solid, add more vegetable oil next time you make it).
Another option would be cocoa butter. I haven’t tried it so I don’t know if it works though. But even though the result won’t be as fluffy as this body butter, it’s definitely going to be nourishing for your skin in any case! You might want to use a bit less cocoa butter…. Maybe start off with 2,5 tbs shea butter, 0,5 tbs cocoa butter and 1 tbs oil. But this is just a wild guess, you’ll have to try and see how it turns out. Let me know if you find anything that works for you!

We have an allergy to this and would like to try an alternative with similar results.
