A 445 ml jar of one ingredient, which makes it the sensible buy for anyone who has worked out that most of their routine is coconut oil in different packaging. The UPC is 764302290131 if you want to check you have the right jar.

Shea Moisture describe it as lightweight and fast absorbing, and the useful consequence is that it moisturises without the greasy film that puts people off coconut oil. It softens dry skin and hair, works on rough patches on the hands and feet, adds a nourishing step to a hair routine, and removes make-up if you want it to.

One thing worth knowing: coconut oil changes texture with temperature. It will look solid in a cold bathroom and turn liquid on a warm day, and neither state says anything about quality.

Warm what you need between clean hands and apply it to damp skin or hair after a shower, using as much or as little as the area calls for.

Application tips

Scoop out less than you think you need. It travels a long way once body heat has softened it between your palms.

On hair, smooth it over damp mid-lengths and ends, or press it into the scalp an hour before you wash for a pre-shampoo oiling. On skin it goes on best straight out of the bath, while everything is still slightly wet. A jar this size lasts months at that rate.

Results

Dry skin softens and holds it, and rough patches on heels, elbows and knuckles come back to normal with regular use.

On hair it adds slip and shine and gives dry ends something to hold onto. It sinks in quickly for an oil, so nothing feels tacky an hour later, and it takes make-up off at the end of the day without a separate product.
