MY REVIEW:
To say I was a little curious about this product is an understatement. I was having a hard time accepting the fact that it could be used for so many of the different things they were claiming. Something I could use for my hair and skin care could also use for baking and cooking? Really? Okay, I ended up caving because I just had to know if it would be worth it and actually could be used for it all.
SKIN CARE: I have serious dry skin. So serious that it looks like I have cold chills all the time. My skin is rough, dry and red especially on my arms and legs. I have tried so many products for my dry skin only to be disappointed by the bottom of the bottle or jar. I gave this product two weeks and my skin does feel softer. The redness has diminished a little bit, but not altogether. It was a little greasy at first, but it wasn't so bad with the less you use. Less is more when it comes to the skin care with this product. I would give it a B for skin care.
HAIR CARE: I used this once for my hair. I followed the directions but found I was not satisfied with it as a hair care product. I am really particular about what I use on my hair. While it wasn't horrible for my hair, I won't use it again for that use just because of how picky I am. I would give it a C for hair care.(for personal preference)
COOKING and BAKING: I tried using this for cooking and found it to be almost as good as using margarine or butter. There was a slight difference in taste and use, but again it is all about personal preference. Everyone tastes things differently. Easy to use as well. I gave it a B for cooking and baking.
SUPPLEMENT: No rating as I did not use it as this.
I was pleasantly surprised by this product. While some uses were better than others, I think it boils down to personal preference in some areas and other areas it worked wonderfully. The price is great considering you get a full jar of 15 fl. oz. to use. It does go a long way so you get quite a bit of product for a long run trial.
OVERALL PRODUCT RATING:
3/5 Stars
