BOUGHT IT FOR BLENDS, VERY GOOD
United StatesExpecting Good Things!
I've been looking for uncommon oils for my skincare. I don't like following mass market trends so this oil was right up my alley and perfect for my face. I'm working on clearing my complexion and am expecting good things! I just started using it so I can't speak to it's effectiveness but so far so good.
