Review (4/5): A Very Rich Oil. Organic And Cold Pressed.
I have only been using this oil for about three weeks, so I don't yet have any long-term or miraculous results to report. However, I do enjoy using the oil and have found it to be of very fine quality. When I received the oil I was pleased to see that it is cold pressed, so no chemical extraction processes are used.
This oil is quite rich in texture compared to other oils you may be using on your body such as jojoba or sesame. It's less oily than other oils, so it doesn't spread over your skin as easily. The best way to use it is to dampen your skin before use. That way it's easier to rub in and more easily absorbed. It also helps you use less oil, and thus save a little money.
So far I've been primarily using the oil on my face, as middle-age dryness calls for rich moisture. What I really like about this oil is that if I use it after a shower in the evening, my face still feels smooth and soft when I wake up in the morning.
If you're familiar with other rich, cold-pressed botanical oils such as extra-virgin olive oil, you know they have a distinctive smell. Not unpleasant, just very rich is the only way I can describe it. This oil does not smell like olive oil, but it does have its own smell. It is made from rose hip seeds, so don't expect it to smell like roses.
For now I give this oil four stars, to be upgraded in the future if I experience any exceptional results after continued use. A sample bottle was provided to me for review.
