27 TikTok Products That Are Actually Worth The Investment
1. An undetectable mouse jiggler if you work from home and get the sudden urge to dash out to run an errand or walk the dog. (Priorities, right?) This helpful gadget lets you stay "active" on Gchat, Teams, or Slack in the meantime!
Promising review:"Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five styles).
2. A set of antimicrobial toothbrushes for those mornings when you might not get around to flossing, but still want to get a deeper clean than a regular toothbrush can give you. The tip of each of these tiny "floss" bristles are as thick as a single human hair and reach deep into the grooves of your teeth for a cleaner, fresher mouth. And if you have sensitive teeth, no worries — reviewers say these bristles are super soft.
This toothbrush is also formulated with nano-silver, which may help kill off microbes left on the bristles.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it:"I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."
Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — AN

3. A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds that might even give your AirPods a run for their money.

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge).
Promising review:"Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" — Kate Arnold
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two styles and five colors).
4. A fabric defuzzer because you want to give your favorite sweater of five years another chance before you're forced to toss it. It removes fuzz, lint and pills from your most used pieces of clothing and adjusts to all kinds of fabrics. We are over having our OOTD be ruined by those annoying fuzzies.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." — Ruth

Promising review:" This is exactly what I needed! I have a white entry runner that sees so much traffic and just gets so dirty. I was about to just buy another rug when I decided to buy this instead. Works great! Easy to use especially if you're someone like me who doesn't read directions. You can just figure it out. It cleaned up my rug instantly and I use it every couple of weeks to keep my high traffic rugs fresh." — stef

6. Or a bagless, touchless stationary vacuum so that clean floors no longer mean that you have to struggle with hair clumps that keep falling out of the dustpan or wrestle with a heavy vacuum. This'll magically suck up all that dirt you sweep up so you can go on about your day.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." — AC

Who knows if we'll ever not complain about having to mop, but at least this brilliant invention will give you clean floors that makes it look like you totally love it.
O-Cedar/YouTube / Via www.youtube.com
Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog who makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it's a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it's fun. MAJOR BONUS!" — Molly

9. A set of two traceless adhesive shelves for those of us that have a thorough shower process with many heavily used products but not a lot of space. This lets you keep everything neatly organized in one area!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they've stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I'm so impressed! I'm sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It's so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" — Sara B

Promising review:"I saw one of these in action at a friends house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is!

Promising review:"Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive lotion...then I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I'm not usually a sucker for marketing but this was so worth it." — Kristen

Promising review:"There was no set up...Take it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised allowing air flow underneath preventing the shelf from heating up. Sizing was perfect. I love it!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in three finishes).
18. A discreet, easy-to-install portable door lock for when you're traveling or staying in an unfamiliar place. This is perfect for giving you some extra security (and peace of mind)!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"My apartment door has a deadbolt but no lock on the door handle. The latch is also misplaced so if it's not dead bolted anyone can just push my door open. Took a few tries to get this right but makes me feel much more secure and it's easy to use when you get the hang of it! I also take this with me when traveling as it fits almost all doors. Definitely recommend, thanks TikTok for showing this to me." — Anna
Get it from Amazon for $11.24 (also available in multipacks).
19. A delightfully practical Stojo collapsible travel cup because it collapses into an itty-bitty, easy-to-store (and easy to travel with!) size. Bonus? You can easily reheat it in the microwave, unlike other travel mugs!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action.
Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics.
Promising review:"I take my lunch to work and during mid day I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. It seals well so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt. It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily too. If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you. But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years." — ViciousCycle
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and 24 colors).
20. A power scrubber brush — let's just say your toughest bathroom stains have met their match. This set includes three types of brushes in different shapes and sizes so that every surface, nook, and cranny gets squeaky clean without the need for all that laborious scrubbing.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six colors).
21. A longline sports bra with a classic V-neckline. It's made of sweat-wicking fabric and goes with, well, anything! Pair it with your fave biker shorts or leggings and you'll be able to go straight from your errand-packed morning to your afternoon spin class.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw these tanks all over TikTok for being just like the Lulu Aligns. I decided to purchase one and absolutely love it. The fit and style is exactly the same. I will say the material is not as soft and is more like a bathing suit material but overall it's a great purchase!" — M
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 14 colors).
22. A tin of Cirepil blue wax beads so that you can ditch breaking the bank (the pros use this wax anyway!). Now, you can do it yourself. 😉 It removes your finest *and* coarsest hair in minutes. Beware: It'll be almost impossible to stop stroking your skin because of how utterly soft it'll end up feeling. And don't worry — for how effective it is, it's super gentle!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Best wax ever. I saw this on someone TikTok and as a first timer I was easily impressed on how easy this was to spread and remove." — L
Get it from Amazon for $23.20 (available in three sizes).
23. A large capacity rotating makeup organizer because it'll display all of your everyday beauty essentials and have them super easily accessible while taking up almost no space! A true lifesaver, if you ask me.

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in two styles).

www.amazon.com
This desk bike is also height adjustable so you can get your perfect fit with the tray, and has "whisper quiet" pedaling, eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, RPM, and other stats.
Promising review:"I saw this in TikTok and I bought it. No regrets! I've used this almost daily since I got it. I'm moving way more than I did before. The tabletop part is a little loose but that might be from me leaning on it too much. It wasn't originally like that. I haven't looked into tightening it. Ten out of ten recommended for someone who's looking to move more!!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $269.99+ (available in two colors and three styles).
Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works. It's been liked over 2.5 million times!
25. A six-outlet wall charger, which comes with two USB fast-charging ports and a night light so that the charging station in every room of your home is nice and organized. It's just the thing you need for larger chargers that take up too much space!

Amazon
Promising review: "I bought it because I saw a woman on TikTok showcase something similar like this on her page (on how to keep a home tidy) and I was like I HAD to buy! It's wonderful! I have ALWAYS hated seeing all the clutter of cords stick out from cord extenders and having this makes my small place look cleaner and organized! I would recommend this for anyone!" — Chidi
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
27. A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts which give you top-notch comfort and mobility. These come with an elastic waistband, a relaxed fit, and drumroll please... side pockets!
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it:"I recently bought these shorts because I'm in love with the similar ones you can get at Old Navy, but they sell out so fast. Turns out I love these even more! I love the huge range of colors you can buy these in (at other places they often sell out too quickly to get to pick!), love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys. I only have them in purple so far, but I'm excited to try other colors!"
Promising review: "Buy these right now! I saw these on TikTok as being very similar to a pair of Lululemon shorts. I would say the feel of these is more similar to Nike shorts than Lulu but the cut is great and the liner keeps them out of your nooks and crannies when working out. I have already ordered another pair! Sizing is the same as it would be with Nike shorts as well, but I prefer these to the traditional Nike shorts." — Lindsey

Owner Panics as Dog Starts Acting Strangely—Then Vet Discovers the Cause
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A pet owner was left stunned after rushing their dog to the emergency vet believing she had suffered a serious neurological issue—only to discover the pup had accidentally ingested an edible. Janelle Alexander (@ 42, from Redding, California, shared a now-viral TikTok showing their dog Zoey's dazed condition after unknowingly consuming THC. The video, which has racked up more than 29,000 likes and over 1.1 million views, captured Zoey's unusual behavior and sparked widespread conversation among fellow pet owners. Edibles are cannabis-infused food items that contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana. While relatively safe for humans in small doses, THC can be toxic for dogs. Alexander told Newsweek: "We were relaxing on the couch when Zoey's dad and I suddenly realized we hadn't seen Zoey in awhile. She typically lays in our lap in the evenings, getting in all the cuddles. Her dad went to find her. He called out for me from the kitchen that something was wrong. Zoey could barely open her eyes. A split image showing the dog on the way to the emergency vet; and waiting. A split image showing the dog on the way to the emergency vet; and waiting. @ "Struggled to stand up, and couldn't bear weight on her hind legs. She had been lying in a puddle of her own urine and continued to lose bladder control as we assessed her. We were terrified. We were convinced she had hurt her spine or had a sudden neurological problem," Alexander said. She added that it was especially distressing because Zoey's dad had lost his previous dog, a chocolate Labrador, to oral bone cancer the year before. The experience triggered a wave of panic and PTSD. While her partner carried Zoey to the car, Alexander contacted emergency veterinary services. They rushed to the only emergency clinic available in nearby Cottonwood, California. Upon examining Zoey's unsteady movements and lack of coordination, vets asked if she might have ingested anything toxic. Alexander and her partner were stumped. "We don't have THC in our home. I don't even drink alcohol," Alexander said. Despite their confusion, blood tests were run, and the results came back positive for THC. The vet said that cases like Zoey's were becoming increasingly common. Many dogs are exposed to cannabis products in public places—parks, neighborhoods, campgrounds—without their owners realizing it. "Sadly, it doesn't stop at THC. They treat dogs for methamphetamines and other toxins people manage to lose in these public places," Alexander said. While the couple still doesn't know exactly where Zoey picked it up, they suspect it happened during one of their recent outdoor adventures. "We take Zoey everywhere with us: walks, hikes, camping trips, dog parks," they said. Fortunately, the vet was optimistic about Zoey's recovery. They administered IV fluids to flush out her system—"dilution is the solution to pollution!"—and sent her home with activated charcoal to reduce further absorption of the THC. Alexander continued: "We got her home, gave her lots of water, some snacks and put her to bed. She was back to her usual, loving, happy, and cuddly self the next morning." She said the experience was so traumatic that she felt compelled to make a video in hopes of helping other pet owners recognize the signs. "This dog is our soul dog, healed a lot of pain for both of us … I thought, 'Gosh, it would have great to know this before! Still would have gotten her into the vet, but maybe it would have saved us the panic and heartbreak of thinking this was fatal?'" The signs the couple wanted to highlight are: loss of coordination, urinary incontinence, sensitivity to light, sound, touch and disorientation. The video struck a chord with many TikTok users who shared their own similar experiences. "Great job taking her in, you never really know what it could be. Better to be safe than sorry," posted Kira. "Put a fan blowing on them and smooth jazz with extra cuddles. They will have the zoomies in approximately 3 hours," commented Britt. "We spent $600 to find out our husky was high. Still have no idea how it was possible though," said Kimberly Kopet. "Happened to my 5 months old pup a few months ago. I was crying but thankfully my bff [best friend forever] is a vet tech so we made a FaceTime and she immediately knew … We think he found a roach in the park on our walk. Poor dude was very confused for a couple of hours," another user wrote. "I thought my 15 year old chihuahua had a stroke or something. nope, just waited till he was an old man to steal a nug [piece of marijuana]. I was so embarrassed at the vet," said Brittany Hooten.

‘Therapy speak' is everywhere, and it's not healthy
Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up Studies Advertisement As psychiatrist Allen Frances , the boundaries of diagnosis have expanded so far that ordinary variations of mood and behavior are increasingly pathologized. On social media, it's common to encounter posts that begin with phrases like 'As someone with ADHD …' or 'My autism makes me …,' followed by content that is not clinical but ordinary: frustration in relationships, a quirky trait, or a moment of emotional overwhelm. What was once sadness is now 'depression.' Distractibility has become 'ADHD.' Social discomfort reads as 'autism.' Where we once described a range of emotional experiences, people now jump to a diagnosis. The full range of human emotion — grief, longing, shyness, intensity, awe — is too often collapsed into the language of therapy. Advertisement This shift reflects more than just growing awareness of mental health struggles. It speaks to a cultural hunger to be seen, validated, and understood by our parents, peers, and society at large. Many people aren't necessarily looking for help. Some are looking for a framework that confirms what they already feel: that their pain is real, that their difference matters, and that their suffering is not their fault. The rise of diagnosis-as-identity has been Under these circumstances, a mental health or behavioral diagnosis becomes less a tool for treatment and more of a mirror. It reflects confusion, alienation, and suffering back to the viewer. This can feel especially clarifying or validating for adults who are struggling but have never had access to a therapist. But validation is not the same as accuracy. I once evaluated a woman in her early 30s who believed she was on the autism spectrum. She had spent months immersed in videos and essays about women diagnosed with autism late in life — she watched accounts of sensory overwhelm (when your brain takes in more information than it can process), an aversion to small talk, and always feeling out of place. Those stories resonated deeply with her. She had spent years feeling unseen, and for the first time, she thought she had an explanation for her feelings. Advertisement But as we talked, what emerged wasn't a picture of neurodevelopmental difference or autism. It was a life shaped by people-pleasing, perfectionism, and a deep discomfort with conflict. Her sensitivities were real — but they weren't signs of autism. They were the marks of a life spent managing other people's needs while neglecting her own. The label she found gave her some language, but not the right language to help her deal with her struggles. This search for understanding is deeply human. When people are suffering — feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or just fundamentally different from the norm — turning to online communities, TikTok influencers, or even celebrity examples for answers is natural. But all too often, I end up working with people who, having found a diagnostic label that resonates with them, begin using it not as a starting point for growth but as a way to avoid accountability. One man I evaluated at age 29 was convinced he had ADHD after months of viewing online content, despite no childhood history of the condition. He had not pursued a formal evaluation but had begun attributing every missed deadline, forgotten commitment, and interpersonal conflict to ADHD. As we explored his history together, a different picture emerged: His 'inability to focus' coincided with a high-stress job he'd grown to resent, his forgetfulness spiked during periods of relationship conflict, and his impulsivity was most pronounced when he felt cornered or criticized. What looked like ADHD was actually avoidance — a pattern of checking out when life felt overwhelming. 'I can't help it; it's my ADHD,' became his default response to frustrated partners and disappointed supervisors, but the real work for him lay in understanding why he'd learned to retreat rather than engage. Advertisement The diagnosis he found online gave him an explanation, but it also gave him permission to stop trying. The risk is that such self-diagnosis becomes less an invitation to understand oneself better and more of a shield against self-reflection or growth. Self-understanding should lead to more ethical behavior, not less. This is not to say that people are exaggerating their suffering, but to challenge a system in which distress must be labeled as a disorder to be acknowledged. Why is sadness not enough unless it's called depression? Why is social unease dismissed until it's reframed as autism? To adopt a psychiatric label today is not just to have a condition. It is to gain legitimacy for one's experience in the world. It confers seriousness, because medicalized distress is treated as more legitimate. It offers structure by providing language and categories. And it creates a form of protection — social, legal, even moral. But what happens to people whose pain doesn't map neatly onto a diagnostic category? We risk treating unlabeled suffering as suspect, unserious, or unworthy of support. The answer is not to abolish all diagnoses of mental health problems. It is to remember that these clinical tools should describe impairment, not identity. They should serve people, not define them. And they should never be the only way we listen to others' pain. Advertisement There is still value in saying, 'I am grieving.' 'I am struggling.' 'I don't know why I feel this way.' These are human truths — not clinical conditions. And we must remember that not all pain is pathology. Not every quirk is a condition. Not every story needs a diagnosis to matter.

7 Everyday Uses For Organic Coconut Oil
Source: Jacob Wackerhausen / Getty The beauty trend 'Black Girl Hygiene Routine' is currently occupying my TikTok feed. Rows of body washes, oils, exfoliating gloves, probiotics, tongue scrapers, herbs, and serums—all organized with precision and narrated with pride. And rightfully so. There's something powerful about seeing Black women create a space for themselves that's the gold standard of soft, sacred, luxurious care. But what makes me smile most is the way so many of those routines include the one thing that's been a staple in our community for generations, coconut oil. While the algorithm is just catching on, we been knew. Coconut oil has been in our bathrooms, kitchens, and medicine cabinets long before it was trending. Long before hashtags and Amazon storefronts, our mamas, aunties, and grandmothers were teaching us how to stay clean, moisturized, and ready. One of the first lessons I ever got in holistic hygiene came from my mother, a Southern Black woman with wisdom laced in everything she did. She taught me how to oil pull with coconut oil for fresh breath and gum health—before I ever heard the term 'oral microbiome.' Back then, it wasn't a wellness trend. It was tradition. So let me tell you why coconut oil is not only TikTok-approved, but soul-approved—and why every woman, especially Black women, should always have a few bottles in her life. 1. It's The Original Multi-Tasker—Because Simplicity Is Luxury We live in a time where everybody's trying to sell you something new. But coconut oil is that old-school, ride-or-die kind of product that shows up for you every time. It's moisturizer, deep conditioner, lip balm, shaving oil, cooking base, wood polish, diaper rash treatment—and still has room to surprise you. When life is complicated, this one simple jar feels like peace. And that's a luxury our mamas and grandmamas understood without needing to hashtag it. 2. It Loves On Our Hair—Because Black Hair Deserves Deep, Intentional Nourishment There's nothing like the bond between a Black woman and her hair. And coconut oil has been part of that story for generations. Whether it's massaging it into your scalp with a little peppermint oil, blending it into your shea butter mix, or using it to seal in moisture after a twist-out, coconut oil is the truth. It strengthens, softens, and adds shine without weighing down the hair. And when used with care, it becomes more than a product—it's a ritual. One that reconnects us to our roots—literally and spiritually. 3. It Heals And Protects Our Skin—Because Black Don't Crack…But We Still Moisturize Yes, sis—Black don't crack. But let's be real: it still gets dry, ashy, irritated, and exposed to the same environmental stressors as everyone else. Coconut oil is a blessing for melanin-rich skin. It helps fade scars, soothe eczema, soften stretch marks, and protect that glow we were born with. Use it straight out the shower. Add it to a sugar scrub. Mix it with lavender oil and give yourself a foot rub like the queen you are. Your skin will thank you—and your selfies will show it. 4. It Removes Makeup Gently—Because Softness Is A Form of Strength At the end of the day, when the lashes come off and the beat gets wiped away, you need something that respects your face as much as you do. Coconut oil gently dissolves even waterproof makeup without irritation. No burning, no tugging. Just smooth removal and moisturized skin underneath. It's like the softest goodbye—because even when you're taking it all off, you deserve tenderness. 5. It Supports Feminine Health—Because Every Part of You Deserves Care Our intimate areas need love too, and coconut oil can offer gentle support when used wisely. It can ease vaginal dryness, reduce friction, and soothe irritation. And because it's naturally antimicrobial, it can even help rebalance external areas after shaving or waxing. But here's what my mother taught me: just because it's natural doesn't mean you shouldn't be mindful. Use it clean. Use it pure. And use it with respect for your body. You are sacred, sis. Treat yourself like it. 6. It Cleanses From The Inside Out—Thank You, Mama I know oil pulling has been rediscovered by wellness girlies everywhere now—but let the record show: my mama did it first. She'd grab a spoonful of organic coconut oil, swish it around her mouth while boiling her morning tea, then spit it out like it was part of communion. She swore by it for fresh breath, gum strength, and gut health. And she was right. These days, I do it too—every morning. Not because it's trending, but because it works. It reminds me that Black women have always had sacred knowledge about our bodies. And coconut oil? That's one of the things we've been holding close all along. 7. It's More Than A Product—It's Ancestral Wisdom In A Jar The girls on TikTok are making hygiene glamorous, and I love that for us. But beneath the aesthetics and Amazon links is something deeper: a reclamation. We're not just keeping clean—we're keeping sacred. We're saying, 'My body deserves to be honored, daily.' And coconut oil is part of that daily devotion. Whether it's healing our skin, softening our hair, or being spooned into our mouths like my mama taught me—it's a reminder of who we are. Of how we care for ourselves and for one another. Whether you found out about coconut oil from your mama, your big sister, or your FYP on TikTok, just know this: it belongs in your life. Keep a jar in the bathroom. One in the kitchen. One in your bag just in case the day asks more of you than you planned. Because coconut oil is more than a trend. It's ancestral wisdom in a jar.
