Organic Fiji Coco Moisturizing Face and Body Coconut Oil Lotion Fragrance-Free 12 Ounce

My husband and I first tried an almost identical lotion to this one at the Waimea Valley Park botanical preserve in northern Oahu, Hawaii, which the locals advised worked as a mosquito repellent. We walked the entire jungle-like terrain for five hours and didn't get ONE MOSQUITO BITE, to our amazement. Now years later I am more familiar with why this ingredient combination works so well - both coconut and orange oils are natural pesticides, and lemongrass is a known herbal mosquito repellent. Thus, you have a fragrant body lotion that you can wear indoors as protection against those stray biting mosquitoes and flies, you won't be greasy and will smell nice. With summer and West Nile already upon us, it is of ultra importance to protect yourself from dangerous mosquito bites, and I much prefer all natural products incorporating essential oils as opposed to deet-containing poisons. This product also comes in a smaller travel or carry-along size which is a good "try it first, see if you like it" alternative. Update 5/22 Having used this lotion for years as my main facial moisturizer, I have just received the new version of the Lemongrass Tangerine which is my favorite in summer months as it also repels mosquitoes. As a mature woman I was pleasantly surprised to find that Coco Fiji has made this product more moisturizing yet non-greasy, after applying it my makeup goes on very smoothly and it enhances my appearance. Fabulous lotion I highly recommend, Lemongrass Tangerine in summer and Tea Tree Spearmint in winter. Great new pump bottle as well

The best nourishing cream that we have ever tried. We live in a dry climate, this cream is number 1.

I use this on my face, and the unscented one has done wonders for me. I have a raw spot on both sides of my nose where my glasses sit (not from my glasses I don’t think but they made it worse). Anyways, this lotion has helped it heal significantly. It’s still raw, but it’s a LOT better. The lotion is also so gentle that it did not burn to apply it onto that spot, whereas with my old (yes unscented) lotion it did burn. The lotion is thick, and I have VERY combination skin so this is both good and bad, I was expecting to look greasy. BUT. If you use a smaller amount than you usually would a little will go a long way and will leave for face refreshed and feeling light. It will not look greasy or feel heavy as long as you don’t use as much as you would with a thinner moisturizer, and will hydrate your skin much more.

3 1/2 stars. I first purchased this in Night Blooming Jasmine, and liked the quality, moisture it gave my skin, and the scent, but I wanted to try more scents, since I didn't feel like there was quite enough of a lingering scent for the Jasmine, but this one is too strong for me. It smells artificially like strong perfumed baby powder. I will go back to the Night Blooming Jasmine, since I am hesitant to try any more scents. I can't seem to justify a return of this based solely on not liking the scent, so I will have to bear with it, because I don't have $18 to throw away.

My fiance introduced me to this lotion, as he has had candida problems for 14 years and has found this to be the best treatment over anything he has tried, from prescriptions to natural remedies, in all those years. Coconut oil is very good for infections of that nature because of its antibacterial properties. I don't have those problems, but I do have very sensitive skin and am allergic to all fragrances, even "natural" ones like essential oils, so I have avoided lotions because I had never found something that wouldn't make my skin break out. I'm so glad I found this stuff! It's the only lotion I haven't gotten any adverse reactions from, and I have tried A LOT of natural lotions. It makes my skin delightfully soft. I always apply it right after shaving my legs and I never get any little red bumps like I would otherwise, and it's perfect for keeping your hands from getting dry in the winter months. A great all-in-one lotion that we will continue to use for many years.
