.. Superdrug's Coconut Oil Review ..


Coconut Oil is an all time favourite beauty product of mine and a staple in my beauty bag. There is something about the fragrance that just transports me to a little island in my own head full of golden sands and blue oceans, but the main reason why I enjoy using it is because my skin thanks me for it. If you have read through some of my previous posts, you’ll know that I suffer from sensitive skin and although I can sometimes get away with using some lotions and potions the more fragranced the worst it can be for me, so when Superdrug sent me a little pot of exotic goodness to test out I was pretty excited.

The product inside is solid however, as soon as it’s touched the skin it melts into a fragranced, non greasy lotion. It’s such a little multi -tasker which is why I was excited to try this out too. You can use it for the following;

·         A leave in hair conditionerUse ½ a teaspoon of the product onto the ends of your hair and leave it overnight. Wash thoroughly and shampoo as normal. Perfect as an alternative to your usual leave in conditioners.
·         A Hair & Scalp MaskUse a teaspoon of the product and add onto the hair and massage into the scalp. Put on a shower cap or a plastic bag over the hair and leave for 1-2 hours. Perfect smelling and hydrated hair without the need for visiting a hairdresser for a treatment.
·         An all over body moisturiserIt’s great to use on all skin types. Remember a little goes a long way.



I love how this oil melts like butter when in contact with the skin and the best part is that it never leaves a greasy residue. Sadly, my Body Shop Oil which I reguarly use is very greasy and just doesn't give me that hydrated feeling that this product does. 



This is by far the best Coconut Oil* that I’ve tried and I will certainly keep using this until the pot runs out and with it only being £2.29, it’s certainly worth purchasing again & again.  

Check out the Coconut Oil HERE as well as other goodies on the Superdrug website.


Have you tried this product before? Do you regularly use oils?

  2. That looks so amazing and versatile! I like coconut smelling things, too. I've seen solid coconut oil before, but here it is sold in big industrial jugs/jars -- NOT CUTE. :-P

    Anywhoo, the only oil I use nowadays is argan oil because I managed to find a 2 oz (60mL) bottle that cost only $10. This will probably last me until I'm 45.

    1. It really is an amazing product. I was a bit scared of trying out a solid oil because I'm so used to the liquid versions, but this was non greasy and has won me over :) xo

  3. A bargain! I'll be on the hunt for it, thanks for the review. Oh and I find the body shop oil can't be used on my lips, it really dries them, xoxo.

    1. It really is :) You get so much usage out of this product :) You're more than welcome. Thanks for stopping by!

      P.S
      I think I'll be staying away from the Body Shop oils from now on. Too greasy for my liking.
