I’m a big fan of this product because it’s just so very versatile!  Not only can you cook with it, of course, but it is great for your skin, too.  This Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub is peprfect for exfoliating dry winter skin, and yes, it is good enough to eat.  In fact, without the body wash, it is safe to eat! The body wash gives this scrub a cleaning agent, but is optional.
