Author Content FrillyLily Lebanon, MO January 04, 2009 02:05 AM Post #5963684 I am looking for a natural bath oil that doesn't have any added dyes or fragrance. My son has very dry skin and I think that might help. Also wondering what bath oil does to the plumbing over time? Would it build up in the pipes and cause troubles? I have just started putting virgin coconut oil on my daughters dry hair, hoping that will help. Might hlep with the tangles too I hope. But my son seems allergic to it. planolinda Plano, TX January 04, 2009 05:55 PM Post #5966039 is baby oil natural? or maybe olive oil--don't think it would hurt the pipes if it doesn't solidify--which i don't think either of those do--coconut oil i think does solidify paulahawaii North Central, ID (Zone 6a) January 04, 2009 06:01 PM Post #5966074 Yes, coconut oil does solidify below 76 degrees. Jojoba oil is EXTREMELY moisturizing and sweet almond oil is great too - just drop a few teaspoons into the bath - it doesn't take much. And for extra moisture apply body oil all over after getting out of the bath and shower, while the skin is still moist. Don't try off completely first though. It soaks in better if skin is still somewhat wet. 2vernes Blytheville, AR (Zone 7a) January 04, 2009 06:15 PM Post #5966112 I've used mineral oil after a shower and before I dry off. Just turn off the shower and rub mineral oil over your body, then dry off. Kinda works better before bed. FrillyLily Lebanon, MO January 04, 2009 07:33 PM Post #5966480 I have heard that mineral oil is not natural oil, it has been processed somehow? Yes coconut oil does solidify, forgot about that! How would the oil work better with damp skin, oil and water are not supposed to mix? Well might try the olive oil, hadn't thought of that, just use for it cooking. thanks Oh, about the baby oil, most of it is highly scented, and it is mineral oil anyway... paulahawaii North Central, ID (Zone 6a) January 05, 2009 04:55 PM Post #5970085 FrillyLilly - check out this website below. It talks about the benefits of coconut oil, which it sounds like you're already aware of. There is also the following paragraph about why to apply body oil immediately after showering or bathing : Coconut oil can work as an excellent skin moisturizer if applied immediately after a shower. Oils such as olive, jojoba or coconut oil, and Vaseline (petroleum jelly) sit on top of the skin and lock in moisture, thus acting as a water sealant. That's why they work best when applied to damp skin. http://myblogonbeauty.blogspot.com/2008/02/coconut-oil-for-b...
