Dr Adorable32 oz - Jojoba Oil Golden - 100% Pure Natural Unrefined Organic Cold Pressed

I was looking for a moisturizing oil to replace the Emu oil that I find amazing, but it's both expensive and, of course, requires the killing of the big bird to harvest it. Emu oil absorbs into the skin incredibly well, but I'd read that Jojoba oil is also very like our natural sebum, and so easily absorbed. Next came choosing a brand to order and I noticed that pricing can vary wildly, with the more expensive ones asking almost $4 an ounce.This Dr. Adorable oil was just over $1 an ounce and so seemed a screaming bargain, but worried it might be diluted or inferior based on the price. I visited their web site and learned that this Jojoba is 100% cold pressed, undiluted, organic (Organic, overseen by QAI, Quality Assurance International) Still skeptical, I read on Rodale News, a name familiar to health conscious consumers, that QAI is regulated by the USDA and so isn't some smoke and mirrors unknown agency. So I could feel confident there were no pesticides traces I might be putting on my skin to be absorbed. I received my order and was very happy to find there is no strong odor, reported with some brands I noticed in my search, it has a rich golden color and it applied smoothly and was absorbed easily. In fairness, It will take some time to see if I notice the same results as with Emu Oil, but so far I'm very happy with the product and also happy I didn't spend 4 times as much, with no likely upside for the price difference. An interesting aside is that, I imagined the name of this company was an effort to sound cute and fuzzy, but evidently, there is actually a female doctor whose last name is Adorable. I'll write an update in a few weeks but so far very satisfied and can recommend is as a 5 star oil. (One clarification; including the shipping cost into the price brings the per ounce cost to $1.43 at the time of this review)

I have never used any brand of Jojoba Oil before so I have nothing to compare it with. However, this product is amazing. I am in my 30s and have suffered from mild acne, oiliness, and sensitive skin since my teens. I have tried many different products over the years. After a bit of research I decided to try Jojoba Oil in hopes that it would improve my skin. I have been using it for a week, and it has improved already. I use it as a moisturizer after cleansing and toning both morning and evening. Although it seems counterintuitive to put oil on oily skin (I know this is not a "true" oil, but it feels like it) it really works. I put a very small drop on my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin and gently smooth it in. If my face still feels oily after a few minutes I blot away the rest, but this only happens if I apply too much as a little goes a long way. It soaks into my skin brilliantly. I am left with skin that feels soft, and not greasy. Incidentally, it appears to be smoothing out my skin tone too - I had a few red marks from previous pimples and they have faded. I have also tried putting it in my hair as well as my long hair tangles easily. Again, less is more, I put three drops on my hands, rub them together and rub my hands through my hair. It makes my hair soft and tangle-free. This product is amazing, and will last a long time. I highly recommend it!

Works well for Me! Great price, quality oil. Keeps my skin smooth, hydrated, and protects from the sun (really!). My skin feels best with this oil than any other product I use, including expensive lotions/creams that I receive free and occasionally try. I have eczema, icthyosis, and chronically dry skin. Life-long misdiagnosed Celiac Disease substantially impaired my ability to absorb fats, oils, and nutrients for inner and outer hydration...amongst other critical functions. I keep coming back to this Jojoba oil because it just plain WORKS for me, with substantial savings over buying in stores!The downside with ANY oil is that if slathered on and then you put on a long sleeve shirt/blouse, it WILL stain garment like any oil would! Trick is to put small to moderate amount of oil on skin at least 1-2 hrs before donning shirt, and it lessens/stops oil staining. If using for sun bathing, then slather it on! I tan nicely and NEVER burn when using it! Remember that the skin needs minimum of 24 hrs before bathing to convert the UV into Vitamin D3, so wipe off skin with (paper) towel, OR lightly rinse off with water ONLY! No soap! I've been using it this way for 8 years. See my dermatologist yearly for clean bill of health.

I just received my bottle today; I literally just opened the box. I was looking for a larger quantity and, I admit, I was wary from reading some of the reviews after I placed my order. So, I made a side-by-side comparison with NOW’s Jojoba Oil, which works wonders for my hair and skin.The bottle had a clear tab, marked with the expiration date, attached from bottle cap to the top shoulder. The tab does snap along a perforated edge, so you’ll know if it’s been opened prior to receiving it. My heart sank after I saw the seal on the bottle opening creased open on one side. The same thing I read in another review. So, I grabbed my NOW bottle and poured a bit of each bottle onto a sheet of paper to see the color better. Colors were exactly the same, and both oils were equally viscous. NOW’s Jojoba actually had a slightly stronger scent than Dr Adorable’s Jojoba. I rubbed each oil into my skin and both absorbed VERY well into my skin, leaving it very supple. Maybe I was lucky, but I’ll order from them again. It didn’t have a USDA Organic certification seal, or any other organic certification seal from Japan, Canada, or the EU. Maybe they haven’t applied for it yet, but I trust this is genuine Jojoba Oil.
