This lotion bar recipe is great for everyone, especially those with dry cracked skin! You only need 3 ingredients to make them!
The other day I posted a tutorial on how to make whipped Coconut Oil Moisturizer. I mentioned a few of the many health benefits of using coconut oil, like how it reduce skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It also softens the skin and relieves dryness and flaking. Applied topically it helps to prevent wrinkles, saggy skin and age spots. Coconut Oil is truly amazing!
Today I’m sharing a recipe for making Coconut Oil Lotion Bars. These bars are great for everyone, especially those who live in warmer areas and don’t want their moisturizer to melt! This lotion bar is easy to make and only has 3 ingredients!
How To Use Lotion Bars
The first time I used a lotion bar I had some trouble. No one explained to me how to use them. I ended up bringing it into the shower with me and used it like a soap bar. It worked pretty well as a moisturizer, but a lot of it would wash off in the shower. Later I figured out that you’re not supposed to use it in the shower (though I still keep one in my shower because we like to use it the wrong way). Instead you need to rub the bar until it’s warm and then apply it on your skin like lotion.
PrintCoconut Oil Lotion Bars
Ingredients
- 1 part coconut oil
- 1 part pure beeswax or carnauba wax (vegan)
- Essential Oils (Lavender & Frankincense are my favorite oils to use)
Instructions
- Heat coconut oil and beeswax together in a saucepan over low heat. It helps if you break up the beeswax into small chunks because it takes a while for the wax to melt.
- Once the beeswax and coconut oil are melted add essential oils. I like to use vanilla and lavender. I’m sensitive to strong fragrances so I only add a few drops.
- Pour melted coconut oil and beeswax into lotion bar molds or muffin tins.
- Let them sit until cool. You can also place them in the refrigerator if you need to speed up the process.
This looks great! What are some of your favorite essentials oils for a lotion bar?
Lavender is my go-to for lotion bars.
Can you use Epsom salt instead of sea salt, Himalayan salt, or kosher salt?
Has anyone tried adding Magnesium the a lotion bar recipe.
do these go rancid? if so how long do they last before going bad?
★★★★★
Can you use coconut butter instead of coconut oil??
No, coconut butter isn’t used for skincare. It’s very gritty and it would leave pieces of coconut on your skin.
what should i store the lotion bars in?
I’d like to follow you!
Thank you! This was so easy to follow and apply. 🙂
★★★★★
Love these and I love coconut so much its really good for almost anything I am just so glad I can make these and will make as gifts for family and friends coconut is my nbf I do not know what id do without coconut oil you can use it for any part of your face and body too so skin stays moist and does not get dry
★★★★★
I wish you would have put how much of each ingredient instead say one part coconut oil one part beeswax
There isn’t any “set” amount. You can use whatever amount you like to make as many bars as you like. Use a little for a couple of bars; use a lot for more.
Just use equal Parts like 1 cup each of the bees wax and coconut. Or more or less according to what you want to make. Just make sure each are equal
parts to the other.
Do you use regular or unscented coconut oil?
Luv these for my skin because I have liver disease. So I have very dry skin.
★★★★★
I have been looking for stuff like this and I’m so excited to try it. My daughter has eczama and it’s hard to keep her skin hydrated. Now something she can use, (myself included) but natural as well…
★★★★★
Where did you get those metal tins from?
I need to try something else for my dry skin. Thanks
Love the ingredients, but I think I may need to reduce the beeswax a little. I have a hard time getting lotion from my bars, and when I do, I kind of feel like I’m coated in wax.
The wax acts to seal in the moisture of the coconut. If you don’t like the wax…just use coconut oil.
★★★★★
How do you store the extra bars. I would make a cup of coconut oil and a cup of
Bees wax so it would make more than one bar.
Thank you in advance
Louise
Quick question! I just made some with equal parts beeswax, Shea butter, and coconut oil. I found that they’re pretty greasy feeling which is great for moisturizing but kinda gross feeling. Does you recipe without the Shea butter seem less greasy?
Can you add magnesium flakes to it?
Hello is there a vegan alternative to the bees wax. Apologies if this is in previous comments ?
You are not eating the bees…you are using a gift the bees made for you.
★★★★★
Not a good response to a vegan. I love the recipe, but this is not respectful to a vegan, who does not think of beeswax as a gift from the bees. It would be better to suggest the person search online for an alternative (there are many out there), or even better suggest a non-animal sourced wax as a replacement.
If you are using a recipe offered to the whole populous… then yes, You need to figure out how to Change it to your specific preference; not the sweet person offering it! This public politeness has really gone crazy. IMHO. Perhaps coconut trees are offended by this recipe, too?
Hahahaha…..
Carnauba wax can be used in place of beeswax.
Hello, I recently reformatted my computer and lost your coconut recipes. I can’t re-download it because I’ve tried…says I’m already subscribed to your newsletter. Do I need to un-subscribe, then re-subscribe?
About how many ounces of beeswax and coconut oil to how many tins? Just trying to get an idea for how much beeswax to order.
I love the lotion bars. Just wondering the best way to store them and how long they last.
Whipped up some coconut oil after work for a moisturizer. Amazing how is soaked right in. It is a bit greasy but makes a wonderful night cream for face and body. How easy is that! and less expensive too.
Thank you! I can’t wait to make this!! Can you fix one thing so I can share it? In the sentence, “Later I figured out that your not supposed to use it in the shower…” – “your” should be “you’re” or “you are”. Thank you!
Is there a recipe for soap?
One reason you should not use in the shower is the coconut oil will clog your pipes. Never spit if you oil pull or anything down the drain.
Do you think it would be possible to add some magnesium salts to the bar mix?
Hi, absolutely love this and intent to make it, just wondering what is 1 part equal to? Would you use a whole jar of the coconut oil and a 1/4 of that as the wax? This is what I can purchase it in here in Australia.
I tried to make the lotion bars and all I could smell was beeswax. I made two batches, one I only put 3 or 4 drops of lemon essential oil and the other 14 or 15. I used organic beeswax and my coconut oil wasn’t virgin oil. Would that make a difference?
I just made these this weekend and they are AWESOME! I saw your note to reduce the amount of beeswax and so i did. I used 1 cup coconut oil and 5 oz of beeswax and i’m really happy with the consistency. Thanks for the great recipe… I’m looking forward to checking out more from Coconut Mama!! 🙂
I love making my own stuff and love your post. And so simple…they are cooling in my silicon muffin trays ~ yeay I have a use for them!
Do these need to be stored in a tin, or can they be left out like a soap bar?
They can be left out but they are a little sticky feeling and lent and hair could easily get on them.
They turned out well . I should add a little bit more coconut oil but now I know.i what to buy more beeswax and new molds this is my favorite homemade products I made yet
I just love your recipes! I come from a country where coconut is grown in abundance and coconut trees are worshipped. I’ve grown up using coconut (including using it in cooking) and its products in multiple ways. The simplest body lotion for me is rubbing coconut oil after my shower and then patting myself dry. Works wonders on my eczema! Tried many of your recipes and they work so well 🙂
BTW, the rancidity is when the coconut oil is old/past expiry date, or when it reacts with moisture. Make sure you keep it away from water to avoid the rancidity.
For my itchy and dandruffy scalp, i mix coconut oil with fenugreek seeds and heat it. Leaving this oil overnight helps me get rid of all the itchiness and calms down my scalp. Plus all that coconutty smell ! <3 <3 <3
The only issue is that I live in a hot place and the oil melts. So refrigeration is the only option 🙁
Hi, the lotion recipe you posted calls for 1 part coconut oil and 1 part beeswax. Later on in the blog you write that the beeswax needs to be reduced to a 1/4 which leaves me with the question is the recipe of 1 to 1 correct or is it 1 part coconut oil and a 1/4 beeswax? Thank you! Excited to try it!~
I believe it read reduce by 1/4 so it would be 1 part coconut oil and 3/4 (or .75) part of beeswax. That would reduce the hardness. I wouldn’t worry too much about accuracy. Figure out equal parts first, then just reduce the beeswax by a little. It will still turn out great.
I have attempted natural lotions in the past. i live in uber dry colorado. When applied, my skin will feels soft, but it is still itchy, as if the lotions are not absorbing into skin, more like coating the surface. this never happens with store bought moisterizers, but i want to use only natural products. I did try exfoliating first, no luck. Any suggestions?
Hi, Just found your site as I was looking for a Coconut Bar recipe. I’m not a math genius, I had to look up what “part” meant for a recipe. If I understand “parts” correctly I could use 1 cup Coconut and 1 cup Beeswax? You mentioned later to use less Beeswax, 1/4 part. Sooo that means I’d use (if I’m doing cups) 1 Cup Coconut and 3/4 Cup Beeswax, yes? lol I live in the desert where it gets 110 nearly every day and sometimes up to 115 – During these hot months could I replace Coconut (which turns to liquid) with Shea or Mango or even Kokum, Cocoa, Illipe? Thank you!
Can you use soy wax instead of beeswax?
if you pour these into a tin to harden will they release?
What natural deodorant do you recommend?
Can you use chocolate moulds? Thanks
This may be a bit crazy, but my dog (cocker spaniel) has dry skin….do you think putting this on her would help? Maybe if I massaged it into her skin?
Yes. Great for pets as well.
Plain coconut oil melted into your hands and massaged into her hair is even a better solution for your cocker.
I am not exaggerating when I say that these lotion bars have changed my life! I love making them and will never buy overpriced over scented lotions again!
You inspire me!
Can you use wax instead of the beeswax? Can muffin tins be used to mold and if so, how do you get the bars out of the muffin tins?
Normal wax is made from petroleum. Your skin absorbs everything you put on it. If you would not put it in your mouth it’s best not to put it on your skin.
Beeswax is a more healthy option unless the bees have been foraging in a place with toxic agricultural sprays. In which case the poor bees will also be poorly.
This is lovely! I just tried it and it’s incredibly easy with great results. I used cinnamon and grapefruit oils and it smells so delicious.
Next time I’m gonna use a little more coconut oil though, cause it feels a little too waxy I think.
would this recipe still work if I substituted the beeswax with soy wax?
I’ve just made these for my 12yo’s birthday party to give instead of lolly bags. I put them in fancy patterned muffin tins; they look so beautiful. Made a few for myself as well, it makes a great lip balm too, cheers
Hello… I was wondering how long do these lotion bars keep once they are made? Do they need to be stored any way special?
suggestion: if you make the lotion bar or a lip balm to give as gifts, why not use the small round spice tins you can get from Ikea or the similar party favor tins from Michael’s craft store.
I love your easy recipes
Love this recipe, easy to follow with simple ingredients. Thank-you Coconut Mama!
Wow, this looks truly wonderful and nourishing! I’m in love with natural alternatives (ESPECIALLY ANYTHING containing Coconut Oil. This looks so simple and i’ll be sure to try it! Thankyou.
I use coconut oil often to remove my make up. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I smell a rancid oil smell. It’s got to be from the c oil….Is there anybody else that smells a rancid oil smell after about 8 hours?
I’m so doing this tomorrow!! I let you know how it turns out. I love my coconut Oil lotion . Going to try it for my hair soon. It even is a great sunscreen too.
Ooooh, y’all got me thinking…
I wonder how part coconut oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax would work!
…time to experiment. When I get around to playing with it, I’ll post results.
Where do you purchase your vanilla essential oil? I’m having difficulty finding a good brand – Spark Naturals nor YL carries one.
Vanilla is not an essential oil…it’s classified as an absolute.
Dear Coconut Mama, your coconut oil lotion bar is the BOMB! In my house we LOVE it! I used vanilla essential oil and it smells so nice i could eat it! lol Ok, i wont, but man! I love, love, love all your recipes/inventions! Thanks a ton!
It is so nice. I wonder where do you get the mold and the beeswax?
Hi, Do you make these coconut oil lotion bars and sell them?
Oh nice idea. I use C-nut oil but it can be greasy. I think the beeswax will help.. and by solidifying it so that it takes your warm hands to kinda skim some off for use, you have more control. I like to add Astaxanthin to my C-nut oil (have also added it to olive oil). Besides the many benefits of Astaxantin for skin, it also gives you color. Wear gloves when you slice open the capsule cuz it will stain… just add it to the C oil or to olive oil (I use organic).
Some info: One of the most frequently-reported benefits of astaxanthin is an improvement in skin quality. There is evidence that astaxanthin not only prevents UV sun damage from occurring, but may actually help to reverse external signs of aging, from the inside out. This has been clearly demonstrated in human clinical trials.
Many users of astaxanthin supplements report that they are able to spend significantly more time out in the sun without burning than they were able to before. This is due to the powerful anti-inflammatory properties that astaxanthin has. (A sunburn is essentially an inflammation of your skin).
Dr. Nicholas Perricone, one of the world’s leading antiaging experts, highly recommends astaxanthin for reducing wrinkles and age spots, improving moisture levels, elasticity and smoothness, and for giving your skin a beautiful, healthy glow.
Several cosmetic manufacturers have begun to use astaxanthin in facial and body creams for its UV protection and ability to heal damaged skin.

How many capsules do you use
I used coconut butter, it’s more of a scrub but it is AMAZING! My neighbor gave me some orange essential oils that I added…. YUM! Can’t wait to try more.
I have been learning about lotion bars and love the concept, but I just have to ask – is this something you rub all over your body like you would lotion?? Or is it just for problem areas? I had made a different recipe before and it just didn’t seem like something that I could use as a daily moisturizer. I do plan to try this recipe as the other recipe called for shea, coco butter, and coconut oil. I’m thinking a more basic recipe that doesn’t use coco butter may rub on easier – but I still struggle with the idea of rubbing this all over my skin. Felt like i was stretching out my arms lol!
Hi Jessica! We enjoy rubbing all over the body! I don’t see any problem with using it as a topical for problem areas though, but you’d be missing out! 🙂
can you use cupcake paper
Thanks for this cant wait to make it! Also looking for those square tins and the link on this page. Sorry cannot find it and looked through the entire feed below to find it. Still cant : ( Help thanks. Also looked on Amazon with no luck.
I don’t know where you can find them. I found them at local store a few years ago. Sorry 🙁
try this link to Amazon. for the altoid type tins.
http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Survival-Kit-Blank-Tin/dp/B006ZSBEXS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1387660517&sr=8-4&keywords=small+tins+empty
I saw others who asked this- but where do I get the little tins? Checked amazon already. Checked for links above and didn’t find any. Help!
I have a question about the beeswax. I’m aware that anything the bees pick up like pesticides gets concentrated in the beeswax. I’m told it doesn’t stay in the honey. Is this a concern when making this moisturizer? I would like to try this recipe. I currently just use right out of my coconut oil jar (that I also use for baking) for moisturizing on my face and hands.
amanda, my grandpa used to keep bees. as far as I’ve read and learned from different sources, bees are very sensitive to pesticides and will die if they come in contact with them. there is no worry about pesticides in either the honey or the wax. Bees are pathologically organic.
Where do you purchase your storage containers for your lotion bars and moisturizers?
you should try these for your lotion bars http://www.brambleberry.com/Push-Tubes-Clear-P4203.aspx
I think I may be allergic to beeswax… any other substitution for that ingredient ?
You could try shea butter instead. Here’s a link to a really good alternative: http://www.rawmazing.com/homemade-body-butter-recipe/
I allergic to bee’s had bad enough reaction to a product made with bees wax had to go to ER. dr said there must been some part of bee in the wax since it is the bee protein that caused the problem. So I really hoping there is some other type of wax that can be used/
Is this 1 part oil, 1 part beeswax by weight or volume? (I assume weight, but though I’d double check.) Thanks!
*thought
Still wondering about it being weight or volume in the 1:1 ratio. Thanks
I’d like to know too… hmmm no one answered?
I would have thought it would be in volume as apposed to weight to make it the right consistency. But again i’m not sure.
I think I know what I’ll be making for some loved ones for Christmas this year. Thanks so much for the idea!! 🙂
Quick question though – does the beeswax keep the bars from melting in the summer? And do they shrink up well enough to pop out of the tins? Would it work if I used silicone baking molds?
Yes! This won’t melt because of the wax. Mine shrunk so I was able to get it out of the molds.
I make little versions of this with a little more coconut oil than beeswax (easier to use) and a drop of olive oil. I give to the kids for their lips and sore noses from colds.
ummm, I wonder if I can make this for my co-worker who has psoriasis. Is there an EO that would help her?
Aromatherapy for Psoriasis — The essential oils of bergamot, calendula, or lavender can be mixed with carrier oils and massaged into the skin.
http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/natural-medicine/alternative/alternative-medicines-for-psoriasis.htm
I made a Healing Lotion bar for my skin issues and they healed up quickly. I used coconut oil, beeswax, cocoa butter and tea tree oil. Within 3 days of using this lotion bar, I saw a significant difference. If she does not like tea tree oil, there are other antibacterial/antifungal essential oils that might work as well. I do like using calendula oil in a number of my products as well.
Psoriasis is a sure sign of candida overgrowth in the gut and maybe rest of body. It’s best to tackle the cause of it at the same time as relieving the symptoms.
Love this recipe! Just Be sure to use a double broiler or indirect heating method to melt down your waxes. I know a girl who once started a large, rather traumatic apartment fire while melting wax in a sauce pan…okay it was me.
It is very dangerous to melt bees wax in a pan. Always use a double boiler type method and ALWAYS keep baking soda at the ready. Use it to smother fires. Have enough on hand to dump, not sprinkle. Never walk away from wax that is melting. I like this recipe but it leaves out some very important safety tips.
Nah, a small crock pot dedicated for beeswax…works exceptionally well on low…when done I let cool, put lid on and put it back in the craft bucket, when you heat it up next time it all melts off the sides again. You can pick them up at thrift stores or if you are only doing a small amount there are little tiny ones available now that are perfect for only a few items 🙂
Duuur. How did I not know this? Thanks!
Where can I find bees wax?
Amazon has beeswax pastilles (easier for measuring) and I found chunks of beeswax at my local health food store.
Best source of bees wax is from a local beekeeper. Search them out at farmer’s markets etc. Talk to them. Ask about their bees source of pollen and think about what goes on, agriculturally, in your area. It’s always good to support local bees. 🙂
I am starting my own natural homemade skin care line now. And your posts are very helping. I live in Indonesia, where you can easily find coconut and its derivatives. Thanks for the great posts!
you’re right:)

Cecily Porter – nope

isn’t this the same recipe mommypotamus uses?

I made mine in an empty push up deodorant container with a twist up base, easy to use! Thanks for the recipie! 🙂
Where did you get the container to put it in from? do you have a link?
Just made this with food grade shimmer added to the mix. This is a fantastic moisturizer and I am loving the added bit of shine! Thanks for the recipe!
Where did you find the shimmer?
1 part coconut oil 1 part beeswax does it matter the parts? or just to the size you want it
It depends on how much you want to make. 1 cup of coconut oil and 1 cup of beeswax. Use more or less.
I have had a large bucket with some coconut oil for several years. Will it go rancid? If I can not ingest it can I at least make this with it and put it on my skin?
Coconut oil doesn’t go rancid for a long time. Even after 5 years the fats are stable. I would use it if I were you :).
These look so great! I heard recently that coconut oil can be pore-clogging but I’ve never had a problem using it for skincare. Have you heard this as well? What are your thoughts? Thanks!
I use coconut oil on my face every day. No pore-clogging goin on here! 🙂
I have been using coconut for over 6 months as well and my face at 51 has never looked nor felt better. I love it! Definitely will make this recipe.
Me too – I use Coconut oil on my face & body every day – and I’m 62
If you use organic and UNrefined, you should be fine. I heard that, too and did some research. HTH

joanosborne18@aol.com
Thanks for posting this recipe. The link to the coconut oils pag isn’t working – thought you’d like to know 🙂
I’m going to make it! Sounds and looks so easy!
I made a batch of this tonight and am waiting for it to cool off so I can try it! I did leave out the oils, figured coconut oil smells good enough! 🙂
I have mine cooling right now! can’t wait to start using it tonight on my heels before bed and in the morning after my shower.
how do you get them out of the tin after?? :_
jessh, you dont, it is a hard lotion bar that warms to your bodies heat. So you leave in tin and just rub or press out with your fingers
You get a tin that is slightly larger than your mold and you just flip it over and it comes out. That’s how I use mine.
You can use silicone baking sheets or anything made from silicone.
Where can I find the tin’s you made them in???
You can find them on amazon. If you click the link above you’ll find them. 🙂
Where’s the link? I can’t seem to find it. Thanks!
What about Altoid tins??
I so want to try this! Lotion without all the extra chemicals and stuff!
Oh! I love the bar idea. So pretty… and such a great gift. Pinning.
I purchased my Beeswax Pellets on Amazon
…also 3 lbs of Cocoa Butter Wafers from them that smell like a big bag of chocolate!
I have so many raw materials for skincare, should start making something soon…but have to finish all of the products already made before they get too old.
These lotion bars look nice, will have to try this recipe, thank you!
Shelley,, I’d check on that if I were you. I’d heard that Coconut oil is antifungal/bacterial. I’ve used it on a severely itchy scalp before shampooing and it helped. It’s not itchy anymore. I like it.
That’s great! And simple! Thank you for posting this. By the way, if you have beeswax in big chunks, if you wish, you can grate it to get it to melt more quickly. 🙂
Yolanda » Good idea, Yolanda! Thanks 🙂
I made a lotion bar last year when I added too much wax to my chap stick! 🙂 Where did you get the tins?
Bulkherbstore.com has round tins, I used for this recipe.
I love them, especially when traveling you can put them in your carry on since they are solid and you don’t have to worry about the 3 oz liquid restriction.
I saved up a few mint boxes and poured my bars into these. Great gift to go!!
I am going to give this a go! I love the little tin you have. I’ve made body butter before with coconut oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter and it’s been a really nice consistency. I look forward to trying this because it has beeswax which is locally available vs. cocoa butter which is not! 🙂
Wow, this is great I am going to make these for gifts. So simple. And no chemicals!
This is the simplest recipe I’ve ever seen for a lotion bar. LOVE it!!!
Angela » Simple is my middle name :).
Is there anything we can add that will be a natural sunscreen?
thanks,
kate
I know this is a little dated, but coconut oil has a natural SPF of 8. I use it in the summer as my go-to sunscreen along with 5000 iu of Vit D, which further boosts your bodys natural ability to process sunlight exposure. Furthermore, coconut oil keeps your skin hydrated, making it less likely to burn. All in all, I find that it’s a healthy alternative to toxic sunscreens 🙂
raspberry seed oil and carrot seed oil have higher SPF so adding those to the coconut oil will help raise the SPF. Although the carrot smells “earthy” I like to use coconut oil that has the scent remaining.
Myrrh & carrot seed essential oils are natural sunscreens. Carrot has an spf of like 38. Not sure of myrrh.
You can add some zinc oxide to increase the spf.
where do you buy beeswax at ?
connie curtis » You can click on the link above where it says Pure Beeswax and it will take you to amazon 🙂
Do you know if beeswax clogs the pores? I used some in a homemade deoderant recipe but it felt too sticky.
judit » It doesn’t clog pores 🙂
What a great idea! I am wondering, if I use a muffin tin, would it work well to use cupcake papers? Then there would be something easy to store the bar in and to wrap it in as a gift. Any thoughts on this?
Natalie Garner – I don’t think so! I know you can sub cocoa butter for coconut oil but I’m not sure about the beeswax. The beeswax keeps it from not melting. 🙂
OK Thanks, will need to try and source beeswax. From other tutorials I think cocoa butter also helps stabalize, its pretty solid even at warm temps, but unsure how well 🙂
Nat » I think it might work! But if it got too hot it do think it would melt. If you try it please let me know! Thanks 🙂
also can you use cocoa butter instead of beeswax, as I have that in already 😉
I think you can use cocoa butter as it solidifies in room temperature (pure). I have used it to make various lotions and it works fine.
This looks great, can you replace beeswax with cacoa butter, as I have that in already 🙂
Does the beeswax stop it melting in hot climates?
Yes, the beeswax keeps it firm. You could add less beeswax in the winter as coconut oil is solid in the 60s Fahrenheit.
This is great! I use coconut oil for everything! I’ve been waiting for this but I came across a blog saying that coconut oil has a lot of oleic acid which feeds the fungus malassezia! Reluctant to put in my hair now because I wonder it contributes to my itchy flaky scalp! So conflicted!
After I have my hair washed I put about 1/4 teaspoon and rub it in your hands and put it in my hair and it good for couple days .if im in a hurry just wet my hair and put it on my hair like a mousse and it takes the gray away for couple days.Good luck and its natural!
A teaspoon of what?
Coconut oil
When you used Unrefined, Pure Coconut Oil – it is Anti-Fungal & fights against any fungus.
your scalp is probably itching because you have a vit B deficiency if you sprinkle a little dessicated yeast on your food or start on a B complex vitamin that itching will go away.
I use it in my hair and it helps with my hair falling out. Before I started using coconut oil in my hair I would have clumps of hair falling out.
