I've been looking for this for a long time!

In a mission to use less toxins in my body, specially in my skin, i've been looking for an oil to use instead of my lotion, I tried coconut oil before and only left my skin feeling more dry, Ive read that for some people coconut oil has this effect. Looking at stores I can only find other oils that were so pricey for the quantity, so I gave up on trying to find something.

Just few days ago I received my oil and is amazing, love the smell and how my skin feels after applying it, leaves it well hydrated.

Really happy with this product.

Not into the smell

I think you have to want to be ayurvedically cooled in a pretty hardcore way to want to smell like this.

Hi Elizabeth, We are sorry to hear that you aren't enjoying the scent of the formula. Scents can be very personal, much like our other senses. You might try adding one or more of your favorite essential oils to help make the scent more pleasing to you. Please reach out to us directly if you need any further support. Thank you for taking the time to provide your review.

Love this oil! More importantly, my SKIN looooves this oil! Craig absorbing, moisturizing without leaving you, Gracie, decent aroma that doesn’t counterbalance perfumes, or other lotions, and sits underneath my magnesium lotion nicely

My skin loves this oil!

My skin loves this oil! Sometimes my back gets dry and I get tiny bumps (probably from too hot showers, or showering but not putting on any lotion) and this oil get me back on track to smooth skin. It is now a constant in my shower.

COOL FEET

I do lots of walking during my job. When I come home my feet, ankles and lower calves are irritated and well...hot. In the tradition of ancient Romans and others a nice foot massage with cooling Pitta oil spells:
R E L I E F. It is also wonderful to apply to temples and head if you've had an irritating day and most Pitta types do often get "hot headed" as well as "hot footed". Try this product to cool off these sensitive areas.

Nice oil for pitta

Nice blend of relevant herbs and oils for pitta - feels a little nicer to use this blend vs. One single oil. Thanks!

Daily care

This oil, blended with Vata oil, has become an important part of my daily morning care. It has made a big difference on my well-being.

Surprisingly wonderful, even though at first the smell was off-putting

I wasn't sure this was going to work for me. But after using it a few days, I'm hooked. The smell does not carry onto my skin. It's absorbed quite well into the skin and this may be the first winter my legs are not drying out. I love how it feels after massaging my neck and breasts, and groin area. Wonderful on the feet, as well. I will order a larger bottle and experiment with adding essential oils as it would be heavenly to carry a scent that I appreciate.
