Coconut oil is not an essential oil. In some recipes coconut oil is used to thicken lotions and creams. There are even soaps that are made with coconut oil. However, low grade coconut oil can go rancid fairly easily, so it is not your best bet for this use.

Essential oils are extracted from plants' aromatic leaves, bark, and stems. Carrier oils are vegetable oils obtained from the seeds, kernels, or nuts of a plant, such as coconut oil or avocado oil. It is advised that the oil be collected by cold pressing for use in aromatherapy.
