I received this from my mother-in-law for my birthday and I was so excited to use it. I was given the Guava Infusion. Just a heads up that during the warm weathers the oil is liquid but during the cold weathers the oil hardens up, but it doesn’t take long to liquify by just popping the bottle in warm water. The main ingredient is coconut oil and the scent of the Guava Infusion is absolutely divine.
One of the wonderful things about this oil is that it has multipurpose uses. I’ve used it as a hair and scalp therapy, which nourished my hair and scalp. It especially made my hair look healthier and shinier. I poured just a small amount of oil is my hand, probably about a 50c piece and rubbed my hands together, then rubbed it in my hair and scalp. I left it in for about 20 minutes before I shower and washed my hair. I’ve also used it as a massage oil or for hydration for my whole body as my body is rather dry. It’s best used after I’ve showered, and I rub he oil onto my body. Not a lot of oil is needed as a small amount spreads and absorbs into the skin easily. I also found the oil to be non-greasy and my skin felt very smooth and supple.
I think this is a wonderful oil, but it’s expensive. A small amount does go a long way though, so it lasts a long time. I’ve had mine for about a year. This would be more of a treat and indulgent thing I would buy once in a while, but not as a regular purchase due the price. I do recommend it to others to try out.
My madre went to Fiji and got me a gift pack containing this delightful oil, and I truly was pleased as Pure Fiji is on my "when I'm a millionaire" list, too rich for my blood currently. I hate that I've tried it now though, because I want more, moRE, MORE!!!!
As it was in a gift pack I didn't get the full pretty bottle, rather I got a small squeezy tube with the oil frozen inside. It melts really easily, I had the bottle in with the girls for 5 minutes and was able to squeeze a bit out to try.
Oooh the smell! I currently have 2 smells, coconut, and coconut and lime blossom. Out of the 2, coconut and lime blossom is my favorite, it smells so sweet and delicious, I want to bathe in it. Coconut is nice, it reminds me of summer holidays at Kawhia (pretty sure it sounds like car-fair, if you're confused). It brings back nice memories, which I like.
I've used this as a massage oil (I got the massage), in my hair, on my elbows... anywhere is good. I love, LOVED it as a massage oil, it smelled so good, it rubbed in so well and I felt amazing after, like I had been at the spa. It's gorgeous.
I'd definitely repurchase this, even if it is expensive. It's so good and I can see it lasting ages!
