Dr Adorable - 32 oz - Jojoba Oil Golden - 100% Pure Natural Unrefined Organic Cold Pressed

Just what I was after.

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!

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.

From what I've read, Jojoba oil is the oil that is MOST similar to our own natural, secreted bodily oil. I've recently been suffering from a dry scalp and touches of what must be excezma (sp?). Since Jojoba is so similar to our own oils, I can apply as often as I wish during the day, a minimal amount, and my body just absorbs it and heals/hydrates the area. I spritz my scalp and face with water (if I'm not washing them) so my skin will have moisture to absorbs and then I apply the Jojoba.Also, I've found that it is a great "carrier oil" to have. It has no scent and isn't super heavy. I've been using it as a key ingredient in making my own shampoos, soaps, and body butters.Dr Adorable Inc also fills the bottle to the BRIM, so you definitely get your money's worth for this organic products. Just be careful upon first opening it so you don't spill before you even get the chance to use it.I will admit that the cap on the bottle was damaged. That's why I'm leaving 4 out of 5 stars. Great product, but there was a tad of spilling in the box & if anyone else picks up the bottle w/o me warning them, there's potential for a mess, so I'm going to have to pour it into a new container.All-in-all though, definitely worth your attention!
