Review (4/5): I like it a lot, with a couple of caveats
I really enjoy using this oil on my skin. It smells fantastic and seems to absorb quickly, so it doesn’t feel greasy. I can put it on a few minutes before bed, and not worry about getting oil or lotion all over the sheets. I’ve been using it mostly on my legs and arms, but also made a point to use it on my hands and cuticles, and my hands felt great. I think it will be really good this winter as the air gets drier.
I did not, however, like this in my hair. Oils usually work really well in my hair, but I felt like the scent changed almost immediately after putting it on. I smelled a rancid smell, which it does not have in the bottle, and my hair and scalp were clean. Perhaps it’s just my body chemistry, but I was not a fan of this use.
A couple of other things that I wanted to mention that I think are important to know before you buy this:
1. Peppermint and Eucalyptus Essential oils are not recommended on children under the age of six and 10 respectively, so I would not use this on babies or toddlers despite the recommendation on the insert. Children under the age of two should generally avoid topical use of any essential oil. Yes, the oils in this product appear to be highly diluted, but I wouldn’t chance it. They are still smelling it even if you’re not putting it on them.
2. I’m hesitant to use anything with essential oils as an “intimate” lubricant as recommended. Too much potential (in my mind) for mucosal membrane damage, and no, I’m not talking about your nose. Also, oil-based lubricants will break down latex, so be aware of this.
Other than the above concerns I mentioned (which are not concerns if you are using it correctly) I really like using this moisturizer. I will definitely continue to enjoy it.
