It smells rank dosen't it? but i still use it because i don't want to wear suncream everyday and i take some medication that makes you susceptible to skin cancer so i battle on. They've just brought a new one out that is olive oil based, rather than cocoa butter (it dosen't smell like olives though) - perhaps try that one joko and then you'll know if it's the frgrance or not

cheers all
i actually quite like the smell...but i saw the olive one ...ill check and see what the differences are in the ingedients and maybe i can narrow it down
i love coconut and eat it with no problems...but then the reaction of this cream is quite mild so i could have a reaction inside and not really notice it much...

Mineral oil can also cause rashes or hives.
I too love coconut-I've recently started cooking with coconut oil-lovely stuff.
And according to this- http://www.allallergy...aidfind.cfm?cdeoc=388
allergy to coconut is infrequent.
