Thread: Virgin oils, natural cosmetics North Bali or online, where?

Hi MiSo, I don't know much about the natural products you are after - but can suggest one Lovina shop if you have not already found it. Its called Akar, it sells natural products and is also a small coffee shop/cafe with vegetarian offerings. Its in Jalan Binaria - as you walk from main road to Dolphin Statue its on your left, just where the street bends to the right a bit. Its all in green colors. Out the back there are tables overlooking the small river - a good spot at sunset.

In south Bali most cosmetics are available, and usualy for a lower price than in Europe. I'm not an expert on cosmetics, but I have heard a lot of people advising Martha Tilaar products. Here are 2 links to some sites http://www.balitravelforum.com/archive200701/58409.html and http://www.balitravelforum.com/archive200701/58409.html.

I found olive oil at Lovina Bakery, so if I can't find anything else I'll buy it there.

I am surrounded by coconut trees, but surprisingly it is hard to find coconut oil...
I was warned by a Bali lady not to buy coconut oil at the Lovina market, because she said it would be probably mixed with something else. But maybe I should test it and have a sip first, cheers! :D

It is not a food or drink topic (except for the oils), but I thinks it fits best in this subforum.

As my skin is allergic for commercial cosmetics I am looking for:

Miso, are you familiar with Utama Spice, Utama Spice | Natural Products for Spa & Home | Natural herbal products in Bali? So far I've only tried one of their lotions but I'm very happy with how well it moisturizes my skin. Ingredients are: spring water, virgin coconut oil, beeswax, seaweed, cempaka. Perhaps they would even be willing to make something up for you. On Saturdays they also sell at an organic market in Ubud located in Pizza Bagus.
