Coconut oil

Indulge :)

coconut

Fractionated Coconut Oil is what you'd want to use in a roller ball with oil.
It is an all-natural carrier oil that readily absorbs into the skin making it an ideal oil for topical therapies.
Its feather-light emollient effect provides a soothing barrier without clogging pores
and is excellent for dry or troubled skin. It leaves skin feeling silky smooth,
not greasy like other vegetable carrier oils.
It is completely soluble with all essential oils and is colorless,
odorless, and will not stain or go rancid. For topical use.
I use fractionated or regular cooking coconut oil to mix in a tiny jar or
container for other oils uses if not using a roller bottle.

Regular coconut oil:

Moisturizer: Apply Coconut Oil on your skin (face, body, hands and feet) to
keep hydrated and moisturized, while helping restore your skin’s moisture and thus reducing the visible fine lines and wrinkles. The oil has excellent natural anti-oxidant protection, and helps prevent free radical damage and stalls premature aging. Coconut Oil also helps strengthen underlying tissues and helps remove excessive dead cells on the skin's surface that makes your skin rough and flaky in texture. The oil soaks into your skin quickly, making it super soft. It’s great for all skin types, even sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Hair Conditioner: The perfect intensive hair conditioner and nourishing oil when you’re away from home and in new climates your hair is not used to. To use as a hair mask, simply rub the oil into your dry hair overnight or for a few hours before showering and washing out. You can also apply about ¼ teaspoon to your hair after each wash (primarily from the middle of your strands down to the end, staying clear of the roots). This will soften and add shine while you’re vacationing. 

Massage Oil: Traveling often consists of hours of sightseeing, which usually leads to some achy feet. So what do can you do to relax them? Take a dab of coconut oil to massage them and relieve the aches. Add benefit: it moisturizes your feet/heels at the same time!

Makeup & Eye Makeup Remover: Dip a cotton ball in Coconut Oil to remove make-up, even waterproof mascara without irritating or drying out your skin. You’ll feel fresh and clean without using any chemicals.

Sunscreen: Coconut Oil can be used as sunscreen, working as SPF 4. Granted it doesn’t have the highest SPF but it’s a great base layer since it’s natural! Mix with Lavender doTERRA Essential Oil. It has great benefits for the skin and smells good.

Lip Balm: Being in unfamiliar climates can often cause lips to chap. Dab Cocovit Coconut Oil on your lips as needed to keep them soft and moisturized. Mix with a doTERRA Essential Oil for a great scent.

Helps with Cold or Flu: Being sick while traveling is the absolute worst. Stir in a tablespoon of Cocovit Coconut Oil into hot tea to help speed recovery from cold or flu. It also soothes a sore throat. Add with Lemon doTERRA Essential Oil for a greater boost.

Sunburn: Most of us have a love/hate relationship with the sun – love that sun, but hate the burn! Coconut Oil can help heal sunburn. Apply directly on the burn every couple of hours.

Shaving: Use it in the shower as a replacement for shaving cream, or apply it before shaving, as a pre-shave preparation. Men can use this on their face, and for ladies it is super soothing on legs and the bikini area.

 

A brand I found that is supposed to be the best for coconut oil is called Cocovit Coconut Oil.
Other coconut oils can still be used to do what it says above as well. I've used many brands.
