I mix this oil with NDA's mac nut oil and pumpkin seed oil as an oil blend and as a lotion for the body. It's very rich and helps combat dry hair issues also.

I really like this oil. I mix it with some sweet almond oil and use it to dilute essential oils for my bath. I also use this mix for moisturizing my skin. I love that it is packed with so many vitamins and my skin feels so good when I use it. Plus, I think the price is great.

I am having wonderful success with this oil. It blends so nicely in my lip balms and body butters, easily absorbs into the skin beautifully and softens skin wonderfully. Highly recommend!

I love this Avocado oil! The rich green colour and fruity scent is such a nice change from the overprocessed avocado oil I find everywhere else.

Great for a power-packed face cream. And I use the smallest amount in my eye oil. Very nice.

I agree with the other review that say that this is the best price that can be found in Canada- because it sure is! A great oil too. Wonderful for my lotions! It will be lovely to advertise all the wonderful benefits of avacado oil. I was very excited to find some good stuff!

Best pricing I've found for Avocado oil in Canada and I've done my homework. I'm very satisfied with this product. Good colour, minimal scent.
