Excellent quality and exactly what I was looking for. Comes in a beautiful amber glass bottle which I will be reusing.
I love this product and my customers love it too, I get all my oils from essentially natural and you never disappoint.
I love the way my essencial oils blends using the olive oil as my barrier oil
I Never battle to order product is the best I use it in my bodycreme and the little ecstra made it special
First time buying this product, it smells bitter like pure olive oil. Use it as a oil for ny skin and have seen great improvements since using it!
Thank you for your high quality natural olive oil. Completes my ointments a wonderful texture and smells devine with the castor oil and beeswax.
Oh! this olive oil is good for my natural hair. it makes it shiny and soft and easily manageable to comb.
I also added some to my body lotion which makes it rich and creamy. I also mix it with lemon juice to clean my nails and also makes them strong.
Great carrier oil choice for my hair growth recipes
Clean!
So many times when ordering from others, there are always some oil spill or residue of some sort - not with this product or company!
High quality, exactly what I wanted!
Can't wait to use it!
Will be ordering this again!
I use this mixed with jojoba oil to strengthen and grow my nails. I love it
Can I drink this oil? Cook?
Thank you
Hello Margi! While it's only certified for cosmetic use, this is a food-safe, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. We do have food-grade organic olive oils as well: https://essentiallynatural.co.za/products/crede-extra-virgin-olive-oil
I tried using olive oil for the first time to moisturise my skin and love it. I spray it onto my skin using a spray bottle and then, rub it in. The oil absorbs quickly and my skin feels soft.
Loved this Olive Oil. I use it for my hair and it leaves my hair soft and not too oily.
And you get a mini bath salt pack as a surprise gift. Loved the small extra touch.
Thank you for the quality oil.
safe to apply to your face aswell. i love natural.
Spend loads of money on brand name products, when simple olive oil works wonders.Simple,fast absorbing,non- greasy.Whether in your twenties or sixties, you will not regret!!
I love the Olive Oil!
I love cold pressed oils so having the option of purchasing this is great it works amazing in my products
I'm currently using this oil for my hair, so I'll only see the results in the long run. But I must say your services were so amazing, from customer service down to extremely fast delivery. Thank you for that. I'd recommend Essentially Natural to literally everyone
I love the olive oil. Great quality.
