I love this oil! I ordered a 473mL bottle, and I'm planning on including a 1L bottle in my next order. It absorbs easily into the skin, and is great everywhere. I love it in lotions, where it sinks into my skin quickly. It's great on my face, and I love it in my hair. I rub about 1tbsp of oil into my waist-length hair and brush it through with a natural bristle brush. I then let it soak it for about an hour before washing it out with a homemade shampoo bar. My hair is beautifully soft, silky, and shiny for weeks. This is definitely in my top three carrier oils!

It has a lovely, silky, light texture, but it has a much stronger smell than I anticipated. The smell is very "seedy"... the only thing I can think of comparing it to is sunflower seed. I like this oil a lot for both skin and hair, but I probably won't repurchase it because I'd rather use a carrier oil without a distinctive scent.

After reading the wonderful reviews on this oil, I bought some and am really glad I did. I've been using it straight on my face for a couple of weeks, and now I wouldn't be without it. My skin is so soft in the morning after putting it on at night. I also add it to my shampoo for soft and beautiful hair. I made skin cream with it added to shea butter, and everyone who's tried it absolutely loves it. It also takes fragrance well. I'm so glad to have discovered this wonderful oil!

I thought this oil had a soft lovely fragrance that really brought out the best in the rose geranium, rose bulgarian, and jasmine that I blended in it. That blend has never been better. It does absorb well and gone was the itchy dry winter skin. My only regret is that I didn't buy more.

I love this oil!.The first time i used it I fell in love with it. Its very light on your skin and doesn't leave u feeling all sticky and greasy like most oils. I tried some in my daughters hair and it came out so soft when i straightened it. Even after a week I went over it again and It was still soft. This product is the best!!!!

I'm in absolute love with this oil. It was done wonders for my skin. I've yet to use it in my hair, but I can only imagine the amazing results. Skin that was once dry and scaly looking is now smooth, even and glowing. This oil will definite be a main stay in my book. I also love the references to its use in feudal Japan. If it can work in a sword, it will work on you!!

Imparts a smooth silky feel to the skin when used as a body oil. Non-greasy, no odor and feels light even on the face. One of my favorite carrier oils replacing grapeseed oil for the top summer oil.

Well it's been a week since I've received my Camellia Oil and I must say that this product really has improved the texture and overall condition of my skin. I added Camellia Oil to my hair care products as well and I can't believe how softer and more healthier my hair looks and feels. During the winter months my skin and hair had become very dry as I tend to lose alot of the natural oil in my skin and hair during this time( I'm African American.) but just to visibly see the results in just a short time is quite amazing. My only regret is that I did not take a before and after photograph to prove how healthier my skin and hair has become. Thank-you for a wonderful product.

This oil is great! I not just use it on my face, but also on my hair too! Not greasy at all. And the best is, it does not have strong smell. So when I add essential oil on my face oil or hair treatment, all I can smell is the essential oil.

I love this oil and its become my main stay! Since it is basically scentless I use it as a carrier oil for perfumes and its the main ingredient in all my lotions. Not only do I enjoy how well it soaks into the skin, but the shelf life! Can't wait to order more!

This immediately became my favourite oil as soon as I tried it. I've replaced Sweet Almond oil with this one as a facial oil, added it to hair conditioner for a deep pre-treatment, used it in body oil mixture, and added vit E to it for a cuticle oil. It holds scent marvelously, and has no scent of its own to interfere.

This is a lovely oil. I use it half and half with cotton seed oil in my emulsified salt scrubs. I had been using much more expensive oils and was looking for a way to have a quality product at a lesser cost in ingredients. The combination of these two oils works every bit as nicely as the much more expensive oils I had been using.

I got this on a whim and I love it! I used to use sweet almond oil as the base for a pre-shower body oil. I've just switched to half-and-half Camellia seed and the result is great! The oil is absorded much more easily leaving my skin soft without making the towels too oily!

This is a great oil that is odourless and very light in colour so that it doesn't affect the colour of my creams. The oil is light and absorbes into the skin very quickly. I am going to test this oil in a variety of my soaps and shampoo's based on it performance in my face cream.
