Do you make face cream. If not should I use the oil? Also Does the coconut cream go on sale. I am 78 and on fixed income so I like to buy on sale. Thank you Colleen Russell

Colleen, 

Thank you for reaching out to us!

Our coconut oil is packaged as dietary oil for food, however, many customers do use it as a skin or hair moisturizer. 
 
Filipinos are well-known for their youthful appearance and soft skin, even though they live in a climate that exposes them to the sun’s rays year round. Coconut oil is their main dietary oil, and is also the main ingredient in their skin care products. 
 
You may like to view our skin care products made with Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut oil here: https://healthytraditions.com/tropicaltraditions/skin-care-products.html
 
Our skin care line was developed because we wanted to offer something with no chemical additives, something that would be good for your skin!
 
Tropical Traditions skin care line is full of great products that do not contain parabens or artificial chemicals. Our special emulsifying wax that combines the water and oils together is a proprietary blend and is not soy based. The palm stearic is a natural component of our Palm Oil. We feel that all of our skin care products are good for the skin and are compatible with the philosophy of our company, ‘The closer to natural the better’.
 
We especially recommend our moisturizing creams and lotions for facial use, or you may simply use our Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil as the Filipinos traditionally do. Please visit this link for more information on our complete line of skin care products: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/skincare.htm   
 
Yes, our Coconut Cream Concentrate goes on sale regularly, as well as our Coconut Oils, and Moisturizing Lotions and Creams! We do not know our sales in advance, but you can check out our current sales here: https://healthytraditions.com/ or Subscribe here: https://healthytraditions.com/subscribe/
