SMOOTH, NOT SMOTHERING. Pangea creams are designed to protect, balance, nourish and provide just the right amount of moisture. Ingredients such as Argan Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Rice Bran Extract and Shea Butter are hand-picked for their anti-aging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, EFA and vitamin-rich, cell regenerating, and natural sun protecting properties. No matter the skin type, hydration is always a good idea – whether you drink it in or smooth it on. Actually, doing both is best.  Feels smooth rather than smothering. Creamy and moisturizing? You betcha.

This is a story about a girl who grew up with a mother who didn’t think that any conversation was off limits and when feeling restricted by the choices she, her children and the consumers at large had, she vociferously sought to change that with a revolutionary new product.

Ana Monte’s mother had always ensured that her grooming was immaculate, not for vanity but to radiate self respect and confidence. She would say, “You brush your teeth with toothpaste and apply deodorant to your underarms because you want to feel, taste and smell good, so it only makes sense to take the same pride on your whole body”.

Frustrated with the absence of personal hygiene products on the market to cleanse and moisturize the genital region, she set out 45 years ago to develop such a product. Initially using a homemade blend of toothpaste, mouthwash and moisturizing cream, she experimented with countless combinations to create the perfect formula that would eliminate odor, refresh and moisturize.

Today Ana gives us Kiss Down Under – reformulated to be consumer friendly and made with organic ingredients so that it is all natural for your most natural parts. Kiss Down Under is a hygiene staple that has been used for years and stood the test of time.

Would you kiss someone who didn’t brush their teeth?

Ana says, “I remember my mother saying . . . ‘You brush your teeth with toothpaste and apply deodorant to underarms because you want to feel, taste and smell good so it only makes sense to take the same pride on your whole body.’”

My Beauty Bunny shows you how to get gorgeous, healthy, post-beach hair!

Turns out, a friend had given her the coconut oil as a gift, but she forgot about it and left it near her bed.  I found it and showed it to her and suddenly it was like we had found a new toy!

I’ve read a lot of coconut oil propaganda lately, and like apple cider vinegar, soy protein, or acai berry extract, what you read online would make you think it will do your laundry, get you a raise at work, walk your dog, take your kids to school and maybe even cure cancer!

[ad#Adsense-468x60 Banner]

Okay, okay, I’m exaggerating of course.  But, I wanted to try this stuff for myself, and Hala wouldn’t give hers up, so I got myself some virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil from Tropical Traditions. It’s made by hand, in small quantities, by farmers in the Philippines.  To see why virgin, cold-pressed is better than machine-processed, check out their video.

I must say, coconut oil has been great for my dry skin and I use it as a hair masque – either overnight or about 15 minutes before shampooing (pre-poo!).

I have used it on my face and chest, where I get a lot of breakouts.  Supposedly, the coconut oil merges with the bacteria on your skin and kills it.  (Click here for a better explanation.)  I wouldn’t say I’ve seen a huge improvement in my acne, but it didn’t exacerbate it either. That means, you can use it on your entire body with no worries about breakouts (and maybe it will help your acne, who knows?).

I have used it for cooking, and it has a great, coconut-y flavor – good in stir frys. It’s not bad as a butter substitute on toast, or mixed with a shake. According to the book I read, Virgin Coconut Oil, by Tropical Traditions owners, Brian and Marianita Shilhavy, coconut oil actually helps you lose weight! It sounds backwards because coconut oil is a saturated fat.  It is mostly solid at room temperature.

According to the book, polyunsaturated fats actually make livestock gain weight and coconut oil causes them to lose weight.  The idea behind this is that the medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are burned more readily than the long chain fatty acids in most vegetable oils. Thus, they are not stored as fat and they increase metabolic activity which induces weight loss.

The book also claims that coconut oil has been shown to lower cholesterol, reduce risk of heart disease, improve thyroid function, improve digestive disorders, boost energy and prevent wrinkles.

I’m not a scientist, so I can’t back up any of these claims, but buying coconut oil is not a huge investment, so I encourage you to try it.  I am a Lean Cuisine kind of cook, so I haven’t used coconut oil in my cooking enough to decide if the claims are true.  If I could get myself to cook on a regular basis, I’d probably lose weight and be healthier anyway!

Has coconut oil worked for you?  Let me know!

So, even if none of these claims are true, coconut oil is still a wonderful skin and hair conditioner! Want to try it for yourself?  Tropical Traditions is giving one lucky reader a quart of gold-standard, cold-pressed, virgin coconut oil (retail value $37.50)!
