Review (5/5): ~ Graciously Unassuming / Undeniably Fabulous! ~
Woolzies has outdone themselves yet again with their 100% Sweet Almond Oil!! I can not say an adequate number of glorious things about this stuff!I use it for everything ranging from homemade face scrub, shampoo, and moisturizer… to body mist, massage oil, lip balm, and shaving cream!! I have mixed it with homemade pet shampoo, added to foot soak, combed it through wet or damp hair and FINALLY MY LATEST OBSESSION…
BLENDING IT INTO MY SMOOTHIES!!
YUP! When I make smoothies with a great deal of vitamin K (such as kale) or pro-vitamin A (such as carrots or apricots) the sweet almond oil (Excellent Source of MUFAs) improves the absorption of these fat-soluble nutrients into my body!
It also contains a truckload of vitamin E (Antioxidant) which aids in boosting the immune system, supports a healthy inflammatory response and benefits as a cicatrizant, “ A medicine or application that promotes the healing of a sore or wound, or the formation of a cicatrix. [1913 Webster]”
So yeah… this stuff is truly badass! BEST PART... this particular sweet almond oil is extremely mellow in fragrance and flavor. In fact, if I were not the one blending together the ingredients I would be oblivious to its existence in the mix.
In any case…I read a review that claimed the scent or flavor of this oil was not the finest, which perhaps could be the ‘pseudo truth’ IF someone was expecting an intensely rich almond essence. (This is what would be found in bitter almond oil. Actually known as almond essential oil)
Nevertheless, the ‘aroma/flavor’ or better yet, the lack there of, contained within this particular oil is precisely what I look for when I purchase a product that can be incorporated into my diet or included in so many personal products. My intent is such that I can exercise full control over the fragrance or flavor of my creations. Typically I do so by mixing in some of my favorite essential oils, dried herbs or citrus zests.
In sum, I’ve tolerated many but valued only a few products as much as I do this oil. It has earned its place among my officially declared ‘household staple items’! For its versatility, benefits and purity Woolzies 100% Pure Sweet Almond Oil has officially won me over!
