Makes a good oil face cleaner, 18 Jan. 2016

Item arrived well packaged, it comes in a small bottle with a pump action lid that is a little overzealous. Do what where the hole is facing when you press it as I sprayed the wall with the excess the first time.

I love my natural oils but I had to be honest this was a new one to me. I tried it in a few ways, some I liked other not so much.

I tried the product mixed in with my shampoo but it left residue in my hair still which was a shame. I then tried it direct onto my skin as a moisturiser but it left my skin covered in a greasy film for ages afterwards, although once it did dry in my skin was lovely and soft.

I decided then to have a google and found a suggestion to use it as a facial cleaner mixed with some olive oil and jojoba, as I already use these I decided to give it a go. I added a short spray with a few drops of the others and massaged into dry skin, then I placed a hot flannel over my face before gently wiping my face to take off the...

Soft skin but takes a long time to absorb, 17 Jan. 2016

I'd never heard of raspberry oil, but after reading about its moisturizing and antioxidant benefits I thought I would give it a try. It arrived in a thick cardboard tube with plastic tops but despite this and the bubble wrap inside, some oil had leaked out as can be seen from the photos that I've provided. This meant that the label was soaked and the instructions difficult to read. The oil is dispensed with a spray pump and I think that it's leaked through the small spray hole when it's been upside down during transit. It would have been far better for the pump to be separate and the bottle sealed and an ordinary cap used.

After cleaning up the bottle as best as I could, I decided to see if the oil would soften the skin on my hands and fingers so I squirted a couple of drops on to my palm and rubbed it into my hands. It has a very nutty smell and reminds me a little of oil that you would use for frying - it's not particularly unpleasant but it lingers on your skin. This,...

The humble raspberry provides solace to skin, 12 Jan. 2016

Who knew the secrets a simple raspberry held? Not me until I tried the 100% pure and organic raspberry oil from Chile. I love using oils on my body and face and nails and this one is a real crowd pleaser as it performs multi functional skincare and haircare needs.

The oil is packaged in a nice glass bottle, I got the 100 ml one which is plenty for servicing your hair and skin over a few months. Even more useful is the dispenser which pumps out around 1 ml of product each time so you can build up to how much you need rather than tipping out too much.

I can't really recognise any raspberry scent from this oil, which I was expecting would smell rather fruity. The smell, to me, is not at all unpleasant but it has a very natural and oil based smell to it. I don't mind smelling of it at all, if anything it is a little nutty which is rather nice.

I use this on my hands as my fingers are quite swollen at the moment and I was hoping it would work anti...
