I bought this 5 years ago to prevent stretch marks during my 1st pregnancy...luckily I did not get stretch marks... but I did get insanely dry skin. I use it head to toe as my body moisturizer year round...pregnant or not. I am acne prone and while it is usually on my face the wrong products will cause breakouts on my back and chest. I can apply this to both area's without worrying about it clogging my pores and causing breakouts. It absorbs so quickly and does not leave an oily residue on you (I have all tile floors and I apply it to the bottoms of my feet and I can immediately walk around and not slip) or your clothes. It is basically odorless and doesn't compete with my fragrance body lotions, powders, and perfumes.

Fabulous
The best non greasy "oil" for your skin on the market. Wonderful for all parts of your body, including feet, cuticles, face and hands. A few drops is all you need.

Nice body oil
Great oil but bad packaging. It’s hard to twist the tiny cap so instead twist the cap a little bit then the bottle. I wish it came in a pump or dropper packaging. I mix this in with my body lotion for extra hydration. It has a very light scent that doesn’t linger. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling.

End of senile purpura
I can't believe how well this has worked for me. I had the "old lady" bruises that looked like someone was beating me up. I would get them and never even know what caused them. A manicurist recommended this oil. I haven't had a new bruise since I started using this and all the old ones are now completely gone.
