Where do you all buy pure coconut oil from? I planned on buying some from cedarvale, but I'm not sure it's pure.

Try Whole Foods if you have one in your area.
I get mine from www.naturaloils.com. www.fromnaturewithlove.com is also good.

So refined coconut oil is not the kind I should get? And if not what should it say?

I get mine from NaturesWildChild.com .
From their website:
Virgin Oil de Coco-Crème
This is so much better than any other 'virgin coconut oil' that we've ever seen!
Here are just some of its wonderful qualities:
It's biologically pure, exctracted from fresh coconut milk, using state of the art 'coconut wet process' technology.
Has a high oxidative stability that provides protection to other ingredients without using chemical anti-oxidants, and contains anti-fungal properties, as well.
An excellent source of monolaurin, as well-known antiseptic substance found in lauric acid oils.
Has a very low viscosity that conveys subtleness and a light feel effect which give it excellent spreadability and makes it easy to mix with other ingredients.
Has an extra long shelf life. It's 'official' shelf life listed in the specifications is 2 years. However, our supplier has had a 3rd party laboratory conduct shelf life studies that place it around the '5 years plus' mark. Their reference sample is 1993, and is still viable.
Last but not least: It smells absolutely divine!

I get mine from Wild Oats. It's fractionated coconut oil, and i asked what "fractioned" meant, and they said that basically it means that it'll be better absorbed by the scalp.

please do not purchase from cedarvale. They are scam artists- they took my money-sent a partial order and never sent the rest or a refund. I sent certified letters that got returned- then they allegedly "went out of business" and reappeared some time later. Don't do it. I now get my coconut oil from www.thechemistrystore.com It is 76 degree fractionated coconut oil.

That's where I bought some, it was something like $11.00 for 16oz.ekomba said:
I have never used coconut oil, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I am reserving judgement- as usual- until I use it enough times to get a justified opinion. So far I have learned that you have to have a light touch with it and although I love the smell, I do NOT love the smell the next day if I chose not to wash. Smells stale.
I take that back- it wasn't vitamin shoppe, it was vitamin WORLD

I am not 100% positive if its pure or not but I get mine from Walmart and I think it is like $3 for a quart. The ingredient on the lable just says coconut oil. It works fantabulous for me!

Any Super Walmart should have it. Its on the Cooking isle next to the vegetable oils etc. The brand is Lou Anna and its in a green and white bottle. The only thing is, and this is very minor, is when it gets cold, it will get hard. Just stck that bad boy in the micro wave for a sec or 2 and you are good to go. I put mine in 8oz bottles and I absolutly LOOOVE it!

I get mine from the indian/paki store or the ethnic foods section of the grocery store. Much cheaper than ordering online or from a health food store.
