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.

MY REVIEW
My daughter has tangles every morning that take almost 15 minutes to get out. Her hair is fine, but thick. It is a constant battle getting the tangles out. Once we do get them out, 20 minutes later they come back just from her playing around outside on her bike.

When this product arrived, I was excited to try it out. After much whining of not wanting to get her hair brushed, we finally sat down and tried it out. First, this stuff smells amazing! Sometimes the detangler sprays have a funky smell to them. This one was heavenly. My daughter even mentioned that she thought it smelled good. Second, it actually worked! The tangles weren't completely gone, but they came out much easier and faster. I also noticed that it left her hair manageable and soft. The smell lasted all day and didn't fade either.

After using this product on my daughter, I can honestly say that it worked better than other name brand products on the shelves. Will definitely use this one again!
