I am very please with my first purchase from NDA and with how polite everyone was in trying to help me, especially Ms. R and Ms. C. As a Brazilian, I had high expectations for NDA's Babassu oil because I know how wonderful an oil it is. It took a few days, but the Babassu oil I received finally achieved the consistency in room temperature that I was expecting to see in it. The oil per se came from Indonesia, not Brazil, but I am pretty sure that it will perform just as fine for me.
