Review- Rubco Nutri-KO Virgin Coconut Oil for baby and you !

My mom who was so excited at the same time tensed about my delivery had prepared the maternity bag in my 8th month itself. An important ingredient in it was coconut oil. She had thought of all other oils like oil for my 9th month of pregnancy, oil for cleaning baby at the time of delivery ,my baby’s massage oil, my massage oil etc.When I delivered my baby, my mom was obviously waiting outside with loads of tension,cotton clothes and a  bottle of coconut oil. But the nurse didn’t come out asking for the oil, but came out with my baby in hand :). My amma was disheartened that they didint ask for the oil she had prepared and kept in the bag about 3 months back :P..

She had prepared the virgin coconut oil at home itself with the help of my dad in 8th month (will be posting it soon on ‘how to’)  and a small teaspoon  of it was given to me once a month till delivery.Post delivery, my baby was given pre bath massage with the leftover oil. After that got over, we got ‘Nutri-KO Virgin Coconut Oil’ by Rubco from the BigBazaar as the preparation for it at home require hours of dedicated work infront of the hot stove to get the clarified oil.Voila , the product is same as what we made at home, free from preservatives/chemicals and since then it has been a holy grail product for me and my baby.

It comes in an attractive green and white plastic bottle package with flip opening with the same wonderful aroma.

Cost : 62/- for 175 ml.
