Coconut oil and glycerin are both fantastic ingredients for moisturizing the skin. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids that help to nourish and hydrate the skin, while glycerin acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin and preventing water loss. Here's a simple recipe for a coconut oil and glycerin moisturizer:

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (organic, unrefined)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable glycerin

Instructions:
1. Start by melting the coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in short bursts until the oil is completely melted.
2. Once the coconut oil is melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Add the glycerin to the melted coconut oil and stir well to combine.
4. Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight container, such as a glass jar.
5. Allow the mixture to cool completely and solidify. This may take a few hours, depending on the temperature of your room.
6. Once solidified, your coconut oil and glycerin moisturizer is ready to use.

To use the moisturizer, simply scoop out a small amount and warm it between your palms. Gently massage it into your skin, focusing on dry areas. It can be used on the face and body, and is especially beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin.

Please note that coconut oil can be comedogenic for some individuals, meaning it may clog pores and cause breakouts. If you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, it's best to patch test the moisturizer on a small area of your skin before applying it to your face or body.
