I wish i could afford to use coconut oil but i really cant
Also i find coconut oil really burns if it gets in my eyes
I keep going back to my original jerkins...the cherry almond one. When my mcs was bad i couldnt use it but now it doesnt seem tobothet me-but i wonder if it is a bad product over time
Ive heard of ppl using almond oil but i think that is expensive too.
I really need to find something healthy i can afford
What do u use?

Don't you think that overall, coconut oil is cheaper than using lotions? I do. I buy the large 54 or 64 oz for about $20. Lasts for months and months.
I have some Eucerin. It's not totally "clean" but I believe it is free of parabens. (some of the Eucerin contain parabens, I think)
It's the parabens you want to BE SURE to avoid. Jergen's contains it and so do most other lotions bought at the store.
But I use coconut oil the most.
I also have some Jason's and some from Xango. They are clean.

One that I can tolerate is St. Ives Daily Hydrating Body Lotion.....with Vitamin E.
Not greasy, absorbs well.
Also the only one that doesn't give me a rash as I have hyper-sensitive Irish skin.
It's very inexpensive and comes in a big pump bottle.

Vitacost coconut oil is reasonably priced.

Yes, I buy mine there or from Swanson's.

I buy Alba Botanica natural very embollient body lotion. I use the unscented. The 32 ounce size costs a lot ($16)but lasts me a long time.

I like plain grapeseed oil with a squirt of lanolin in it.
It costs about $11 for 1L, and lasts me about 3 months. It goes a long ways and absorbs fast and doesn't stain my clothes.

Whatever the .99 store has and then I pour 3/4s to a half in a pump saved bottle and add olive oil.
All lotions are too dry for me. I'm weird but coconut oil is too drying and icky. Although I do consume a lot of it.
Reading this one I have now; it is coco butter deep conditioning body lotion 24oz.
One of the ingredients is olive oil. Actually this one is from Big Lots for $2.00, and it is a big bottle. But usually it's the 99 cent store.
And there are no Parabens added, but a lot of other odd stuff.
