   Totally agree with previous reviewer.

   I got this as a freebie with an Aura Cacia purchase and I have been blown away.

   The same week I bought 8 oz of Kiehl’s “Superbly Restorative Argan Oil” @ 42 bucks and it wasn’t even half of what this product is.

   It’s a little heavy to put on, but I love that there is no fragrance (no almond fragrance, it’s just the name of the oil), but if you want to add and essential oil for fragrance you can.

   Very restorative. My skin is like a baby’s back side …. great for the neck, chest, all over the body (must try on lashes, great idea).

   Price point …. ridiculously affordable.

   Definite repurchase, and will be trying more in the Aura Cacia line.

   *Snicker* Drugstore eye makeup removers… “Snicker*
   Hmm? What? Oh, don’t mind me. I was just giggling over the idea of spending my hard earned money on cosmetic eye makeup removers instead of using this little beauty. I adore this sweet almond oil! Not only does it makes the most fantastic, gentle, safe eye makeup remover, but it’s cheap to boot! I spent about $5.99 on mine at Whole Foods, which is alot better than spending ten dollars on the Neutrogena eye makeup remover I used to use before Aura Cacia. I just get a little on a cotton ball, swipe a few times, and voila! Makeup’s gone! It is a tad bit oily, so I just wet the other side of the cotton ball and wipe my eyes a bit to remove excess oil.
   Oh, and can you believe that since I started using this sweet almond oil, my lashes have grown longer and thicker? It might be due to the Vitamin E that Aura Cacia puts in their oils, but I can assume that it’s due to almond oil’s conditioning benefits as well. Hey, eyelashes and eyebrows are hair too, why not condition them to keep them healthy?
   I also use this particular oil as a conditioning treatment pre-poo on clarifying days. I rub some oil (sometimes I put a little bit in a bowl and heat it up int he microwave) through my dry hair, sleep on it, wake up in the morning, shampoo and condition, and bam! Softer, shinier hair.
   I love this little miracle. It’s available, affordable, lasts a while, and is overall one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my beauty routine.

   I just bought a new bottle of this after I don’t know how long – maybe more than a year!! and I wonder how I lived without it all this time. I used to never NOT have it, then for a while I was using some of that Burts Bees Apricot Baby Oil – it was being discontinued at a local store and the price was so low I bought 4 or 5 bottles, storing them in the fridge so they wouldn’t get rancid…but the BB apricot oil is just too heavy compared to this sweet almond oil.

   Best oil there is. Light, not heavy or sticky or cloying at all. Sinks right in. Great for everything, from removing makeup to oil cleansing to moisturizing to shaving to hair conditioning – my ex had thick curly dark hair, and after showering would run it thru his hair as a leave in, his hair looked so shiny and felt so soft that I didn’t mind him wasting stuff.

   I especially love putting this on wet skin right after showering. Some oils are too heavy, and I feel like my skin is suffocating if I use as an all over moisturizer…but not with this. It absorbs quickly and just leaves you feeling soft and smooth.

   I also experimented with adding essential oils, such as lavender, and trying to use as a perfume oil. I believe the essential oil I used for this, lavender, was not a good enough quality and the scent didn’t last…but with a better essential oil, the almond oil would probably be great as a carrier oil. Buy at Whole Foods or most health stores. Worth every penny!
