Sweet Almond Oil for Hair and Skin, 100% Pure and Cold Pressed, Hexane Free, Skin Moisturizer, Nails, Therapeutic Massage, Carrier Oil - by 16 Fl. Ounce (Label Varies)

There is nothing mentioned on the pack about it being hexane free. It sure goes through a chemical treatment process to remove the odour and colour making it lightweight. I was looking for pure cold pressed almond oil as a body moisturiser. But the pack even stated that it is advised to consult a medical practitioner before using in case of pregnancy. This is very strange.

I love it! Odourless & feel good on my skin

Anything with chemicals, either naturally occurring or otherwise, that comes in contact with my skin comes with the possibility of a reaction of some sort. Almond Oil has made everything easier. Everything. I use it for all things skin related. It actually clears my pores (I use it with sea salt to wash my face). It fights dry skin and contact dermatitis without any steroids or thick emollients (which make you feel greasy or sweaty, especially if you're in a particularly humid climate). I think it might absorb better than my skin's natural oil, probably due to it's purity and lack of over- processing. I use it as personal lubricant, because it never becomes sticky and doesn't effect pH levels, but the consistent and natural moisture provides a barrier against odor- causing bacteria... and it's edible, flavorless, and safe for use with silicone. It keeps my scalp free of dandruff, and I rarely have problems with split ends, but it's a great leave-in conditioner, as well, and takes fly-aways without weighing down my hair (which is thick, fine, and strawberry blonde- so it very easily can be too oily or too dry. ) I even use it to grill steak, bake brownies when I want them extra moist, and oil frozen locks and squeaky door hinges. If I haven't replaced every other oil or moisturizer in my house yet, it's only because they don't sell it on tap yet. Try it. You won't waste your money, because you'll find something it does better than whatever else you're using.

I loved this oil the first time I purchased it. It was colourless, odourless, non- sticky, and made the skin feel soft and moisturised. But the second time I purchased it had the golden colour. I don’t know what change the manufacturer made still the oil felt good

I'm now a true believer of the healing properties associated with almond oil. I bought this about a month ago for myself after reading a UK Cancer blog regarding scalp care during chemotherapy. It recommended using natural oils (such as almond) to heal an itchy scalp. I haven't used it for that purpose yet as my hair is still in the thinning out stage. What I can tell you is that it has helped with the dry skin (from chemo) and breakouts from the steroid. I use this oil on my face after taking a shower. By morning, the redness and inflammation from the side effects are gone. My skin is calm. I don't have any dark circles under my eyes. I put some on in the morning before applying makeup. The makeup goes on smoothly. No dry spots whatsoever. Now, I do live in a tropical climate so I'm not sure how it will be for those who have to endure a harsh winter. I can only say that it doesn't block your pores (if you have oily skin) and it appears to be good for my aging combination skin. My skin loves it. A little goes a long way. I use more of it in the evening, but less in the morning before applying makeup so that it absorbs quickly. It has also helped soften my hands and feet. I rub it into my feet before I put my socks on. It has also kept my nails in good shape. I'm on my 4th of 12 rounds of chemo. I've seen no discoloration of the nails (but it's still early in the treatment). I just know that it will work for my itchy scalp once the hair is gone. I feel it working now on all my problem areas. I'm writing this review in hope that it will help others who are going through chemotherapy. The company really should consider donating sample sizes to the Cancer Society's "Look Good Feel Better" program. I know it will make others feel better. I honestly feel that this has helped my skin through this rough period. My 89 year old mother is also a big fan. I bought some for her as a gift. She's been using it daily and I've noticed that her skin is more vibrant. She's noticed that it helps smooth out her wrinkles. She uses it on her face and hands. I'm really glad I gave this product a chance. It's also great that it comes with a pump. It's easy to dispense. The only negative with the pump is that it sometimes leaks. It doesn't happen all the time. I've been placing a paper towel under the bottle just in case. It's nothing that would keep me from buying this product again. It really has saved my skin. It's also hard to find a product in this price range that works so well. I will continue to use it even after chemo.

I have extremely sensitive skin. Like, I haven't used make-up in a few decades, can't use any lotions or creams, few soaps, no sunscreens and nothing with sulfate or parabins kind of sensitive. I wanted to try this as an alternative to butters which are heavy and can leave film in my shower and on fine fabrics. This is a great product! I simply larger my cloth with my usual shea soap, and add a few pumps of this to the lather. I use a few drops it in my hair and on my face, after cleaning. In the evening I apply a pump to a warm washcloth to clean my face before bed. I have had no break outs, clearer skin and fewer blemishes. My shower doesn't get slick, and there is no lasting residue to clean. I come out of the shower with the water beading up on my skin, and a few pats with my favorite fluffy towel leave my skin soft and moisturized all day. I blow my hair dry with low heat, and I have high shine with no greasy feel. I'm thrilled with this product and it's pump. Will be ordering more in the future.
