London/UK people...do you know where I can get coconut oil?

[mikimix]

I have no idea where to get it and I've heard it's good for sealing in moisture.

I'm not in the UK, but in the US, they sell it at every grocery store by the cooking oils. Check for it by the Olive Oil, canola oil, etc. They also have it at health stores that sell vitamins, etc. (In the US - VitaminShoppe and GNC.)

They sell coconut oils in Indian shops, like they are a few of them in Turnpike lane, you know the road leading up Muswell hill. But any Indian shop that sells food should be fine.
They sell it in Paks, the one in Finsbury Park has it, its not with the commercial products though it's where they put the body creams and hair rollers and stuff.
Also, I'm sure Holland and Barrett sell it, and most probably Wholefoods. There are abotu 6 Wholefoods stores in London.
I most recently purchased some coconut oil from http://www.akuawood.co.uk/
It's fantastic grade but I'm going to try Wholefoods next.
Hope that helps.

The best coconut oils are pure with no fillers and with a traceable origin.

I usually buy from Akamuti.co.uk. Their coconut oil smells fabulous.

The origin of the coconut oil is indonesia

If you want to buy in bulk I would recommend akomaskincare.co.uk
Their coconut oil is cold pressed, copra free (very important), organic and food grade so you can cook with it. Akoma's coconut oil comes from Sri Lanka.

Akoma also sell a wet milled version from Ghana.

Most Indian sections at Tesco should carry it. Otherwise any Indian grocery store.
