Review (1/5): Rancid
I began replacing lotions with oils almost a decade ago and have never looked back. The result is a moisturized, matte finish using more natural products. This was my first experience with rosehip oil, though, and it has not been good. The oil was rancid. Other reviewers commented on the smell, so I tried to chalk it up to a smell I was unfamiliar with, but after a short time it was undeniably bad. The company (Teleported Treasures) sends unsolicited follow up emails saying they would like to correct problems, but they redirected me to Amazon when I contacted them.
If you notice a smell that is unpleasant, listen to your instincts - it is probably bad. Not likely mine was the only bottle. Rosehip may have an unusual scent, but it should not be strong or unpleasant. I am unsure if I would try rosehip again, but I would use a different company or purchase locally.
