Looking for a quick
and easy way to cut your exposure to synthetic chemicals? Try using coconut oil instead
of lotion.
The lotion I recently
replaced contained 11 ingredients, the first being water, four others needing to
be looked up because I had no idea what they were, and three of those showing moderate
concerns about toxicity by the environmental working group. So not the worst
product out there, because I already care about stuff like that, however, improvements
could still be made.
Coconut oil contains one ingredient plain and simple.
Bonus: for a weekend treat try popping some popcorn in coconut oil. It gives the popped kernels a nice buttery flavor, eliminating the need for actual butter, just salt and enjoy. Doing it this way also means you're not using pre-packaged popcorn thus eliminating the chemicals used to line the bags and make the butter flavor.
