- Simple answers to complex topics from a primary care doctor with a focus in preventive health.
Body lotions contain many chemical compounds that can be absorbed through the skin. They are also high in phthalates and bisphenol that leak from the plastic container into the lotion.
As the lotion remains in contact with the skin throughout the day, this absorption is particularly high.
Many lotions contain mineral oil, which is derived from petroleum oil, a highly carcinogenic material. While the industry assures us that all cancer causing contaminants are filtered out before it lands in your body lotion, some studies question this statement.

The FDA states mineral oils are safe IF prepared according to protocols established in 1962 and 1980. The question is if these protocols are followed by all companies...

I've been using coconut oil for 2 weeks and I can tell the difference
Are you shiny ? 😂
is it better?
I did for months and I never had a drier skin than when I was using coconut oil. I stopped and my skin feels better now
Great information, coconut oil cleared my dry itchy skin I get every summer mainly on my back, i get sweat pimples and severe itch , coconut oil is heaven sent for me ,
Thanks again
Thanks for sharing!!
Very useful information. Thanks doctor.
Always welcome
I’ve been using petroleum jelly for years but out of the blue since I am transitioning into a more green environment/natural products I’m trying to figure out what to use as a body lotion … petroleum jelly kept me warm during cold winters and in summer I use Nivea SPF sunscreen… so right now I’m conducting my own research, I’m stuck between Coconut oil, olive oil and Shea butter. This video is useful for my research
Thank you. Coconut oil is not the greatest moisturizer but works fairly well. Shea butter is a great alternative.
Thank you. I spent the whole day doing a research on the two😅
Coconut oil is great. Helps with mouth ulcers and cold sores.
Thanks for the tip!
Would you please share the recipe for high spf cocunut oil and zinc oxide lotion? Thanks. I look forward to your reply.
I’m trying to find the exact proportions but have trouble finding the video. Essentially it’s organic coconut oil and non-nano zinc oxide. I think a 20% zinc oxide to oil ratio gives you a very good SPF.
I can't find your video on coconut oil and non-nano zinc oxide recipes 😢
I just ordered some virgin coconut oil from Amazon yesterday. One concern I would have with the glass jars is that they'd be slippery (and thus prone to break) if grasped with a hand which has just applied the coconut oil to one's skin. Any suggestions as to how to minimize the breakage risk?
You can put the coconut oil into a stainless steel container.
@@JonasKuehneMD The coconut oil jar arrived early (during the lunch hour today), and I was eager to try some on my legs (very dry & flaky w/eczema). I pulled down my socks to just above my ankles while seated, and applied the coconut oil with just one hand, leaving the dry hand free to grasp the jar safely. I will consider the stainless steel container idea, though; it might be the kind of thing I can find among the kitchen pantry storage containers online.
@@JonasKuehneMD I just thought of another possible solution to the breakage risk. I crochet, and could easily make a "cozy" or sleeve for the glass jar, perhaps with the cotton yarn often used to knit or crochet dishcloths.
I put coconut oil on my skin three nights in a row. Woke up with amazing skin. With that said, I was also very diizzy. Like, couldn't walk well dizzy. I don't understand what happened?
I am not sure if there is a connection between these two events. Dizziness may have many causes, so it’s best to discuss with your primary care doctor.
@@JonasKuehneMD I'm going to try the coconut oil again this weekend and see if I can re-create the dizziness. I really liked the coconut oil! My dizziness might have come from another supplement I started.
Maybe you're allergic to coconut? I really don't know, but everything you put on your skin absorbs into your bloodstream just remember that
Can this be used on face + do I need to use soap to remove? I just heard you say yes for face. So, does it need to be washed off?
I use it sometimes as a face lotion as well, however, several people have commented that it clogs their pores. You do not need to wash coconut oil off.
@@JonasKuehneMD Thank you for the response.
do you recommend Palmer's Body oil? :)
The first ingredient is soybean oil, and then there are several other questionable ingredients on there. It would not be my first choice.
Thank you heaps 🙏
FACTS
Castor oil is great, do some digging. it's better than coconut oil.
Thanks for the tip!
It’s your loss lol
Just because you don’t know what it is or wouldn’t cook with it doesn’t mean it’s bad for skin
go ahead and keep putting that poison on your skin.
