ArtNaturals 100% Natural & Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil - 16 Fl Oz (473ml)

BCTBCT: The main reason I bought this oil was because other reviews stated that the packaging was good. The bottles came in packages/boxes that were sealed.

This oil I purchased yesterday was not. It was a pump bottle heat-sealed in plastic. This might not be a problem if the delivery came packaged in a firm cardboard box, but this came in a bag.

The first photo is the return/replacement from yesterday. Essentially the bottle was smooshed, which leaked oil in the bag.

The second photo was from today, which still leaked but wasn't quite the disaster.

I'm uncomfortable that the bottle isn't completely sealed. I'm a massage therapist that works on people that are immune compromised so this type of packaging is concerning.

And other brands sell the bottle with the pump on the side btw.

Second, I've used fractionated coconut oil many times, it's my massage oil of choice, and this is the first I've used that has a noticeable 'smell' to it. Like chemicals.

It smells like protroleum, not the usual fragrance free fractionated oil I'd use for massage before, or moisturizing my beard.

I will not order this oil again. And most likely won't use...

A: I like this coconut oil because is odorless so I can mix it with my essential oils. However, sometimes I think it smells a little wierd after a while. The bottle was a complete mess, I had to throw it in the bin and move the oil in a new bottle. It was leaking constantly, even when left alone standing up on a perfectly flat stand. And the dispensing system was a nightmare, even when pressed carefully it was still throwing the liquid out.

Rosie: I bought this after being told coconut oil was good for psoriasis, my scalp has been flared for a while now to no avail. This however, has made such a difference! It’s greasy when you put it on, but washes out lovely after a night in my hair. My scalp is a lot less flaky, and irritated!

The Bookster: My wife and I just got into essential oils last year. At first we were only buying premixed blends, but those were expensive and I wasn’t convinced they were worth the price. So we started doing research. We learned we could make our own blends and custom tailor them to use just the oils we wanted, since some oils worked for us and others didn’t. After sourcing the base oils for each of our blends (she uses oils mostly for allergies and healing scars and I use them for pain and stress relief and digestive health) all we needed was a carrier oil.
After trying several different brands, I came across ArtNaturals on Amazon and decided to give their oil a try. I’m glad I did! First off, the oil is awesome. It rubs in super easy and absorbs quickly so my hands aren’t left feeling greasy. And - I love the attention to small things in their packaging. The bottle came with two tops - a standard top with small opening for pouring, and a pump top which is THE BEST for filling those tiny little bottles. Plus - the label doesn’t wrap all the way around the bottle, making it easier to see when I’m getting low. (I know, I know...who gets all worked up about a label? But like I...

ARAD: I really wanted to like this more that I do. Unfortunately I think this has to do with less with the oil and more with the packaging. The oil is subtly scented to the point of almost being un-scented which I liked.
What I really dislike is the bottle. The picture shows a short, fat bottle but what you get is a tall, skinny bottle. With the bottle being taller and sender, it wobbles on the shelf and lots of times topples over. The shorter, fatter bottle would have been way more stable. This is especially apparent when you're using the included pump top.
It's never fun to try and catch a falling object when your hands are covered in oil.
So, Oil=Good, Bottle=Bad

Shirzan: The bottle is larger than it appears on the website, which is great. Just a couple of quibbles, which are pretty similar to those mentioned by other customers. The first thing is the plunger attachment - it's fine to get on, but squirts oil out rather rapidly and unevenly so it goes everywhere - beware. The second thing is that the oil has no fragrance whatsoever. I expected some fragrance of coconut, even though it could be very mild, as it's 'fractionated'. It is completely odorless, so if you're wanting obvious coconut aroma, this is not for you. However, the oil itself is great, moisturising but good for massage as well, and it goes a long way.

Bee: The product itself (the coconut oil) is great, but the pump doesn't work quite as well as I'd like. Whenever I try to pump a little out into my hand, it shoots out and I get the oil all over my arm and bathroom, so I tend to just pour some out into a separate jar to use for dipping q-tips and cotton rounds. So, a different bottle/pump and this would be 5 stars. The coconut oil itself stays in liquid form which is wonderful for what I use it for, which is as a moisturizer, make up remover, and topical antibiotic. I'll put a little on a q-tip and coat my eyelashes for an overnight conditioning treatment or dab some on a cotton round and then wiping/patting over my face for a makeup remover & moisturizer in one (followed by patting the excess oil off with a clean, dry towel). I'll also use the coconut oil after I shave to prevent/treat ingrown hairs or those annoying inflamed red bumps. After 2-3 days, any semblance of an ingrown hair is gone. Once a week I coat the ends of my hair as a conditioning treatment, but don't put a lot near your scalp (I did once accidentally before going to work and my hair didn't dry all day- it looked like I hadn't washed in a week). So as long as...

K. M.: I love the product, but the pump leaks like crazy, hence the 4 stars and not 5.. I see there is now a new, black pump, so I'm guess they've remedied this. I'm going to have to figure something out for my current bottle though.

I bought this to use as a carrier oil, but I've mostly been using it as a moisturizer. I even put some in a roller-ball bottle and use it for my lips, which I love. It's very moisturizing and non-greasy.

The most surprising use: I found myself in a situation where I didn't have any deodorant (the natural stuff I bought was causing a bad rash). I used to make my own deodorant out of coconut oil and a few other ingredients, so I decided to apply this to my armpits hoping that it would work well enough until I got some new deodorant. I applied a good amount to dry armpits immediately out of the shower. Turns out it works REALLY well- as in it worked all day, even when I was out in the FL heat. Who knew? I've been using it for over a week now and think I'll just stick with this. So, this is now become my all-purpose body product.

Blondie: Disclosure: I ACTUALLY BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT FOR FULL PRICE MORE THAN ONCE

Update: I am reducing my 5-star review to 4-stars. The only reason is because I have now ordered this product 3 times, and only ONCE have I ever received a pump with the bottle, as shown in the picture! The product is great, but without a pump it's difficult to use for certain things. Their quality control before shipping should be better than that. Other than that, the product itself is very good.

Fractionated Coconut Oil has many great uses for hair and skin. I actually bought this particular bottle to use on my dog. He suffers from bad skin conditions during the hot and humid summer months. Poor thing gets these sores all of his skin that make him miserable. I mix this with a particular iodine and some of his medicated spray we get from the vet. We spray it all over him after he gets a good bath and in between baths (after brushing). It really helps to sooth his skin. I also have used it as a cleanser and moisturizer. It works really well on all accounts for people and dogs. The only downside was that I THINK I did not receive a pump with this bottle. I may have thrown away by mistake, so...
