Rating: This oil is fantastic. The anti-inflammatory effects are pretty immediate. It does have a fishy smell, which is a result of the high omega 3 content. I used a little at night after a day in the sun and the irritation was gone in minutes. I’m so excited about this oil I went ahead and purchased borage oil which has even more of the good stuff. I’m anticipating a combination of the two oils to be a wonderful remedy for skin irritation.
Don’t focus on the smell, focus on the healing.

Rating: I disagree with tbe 2011 reviewer, Stephanie with reepect to the aroma. It is not very pronounced. It's there, and I don't mind it at all. It has a faint earthy smell which I think would work especially well with the proper formulation. Overall, it's a lovely oil.

Rating: The scent is horrible on its own, but when blended you don't notice it. The noticeable skincare benefits far outweigh the scent. I will be using this oil regularly in my serums.

Rating: This oil is fantastic. Have added it to my normal facial blend and have already noticed a reduction in fine lines and people have commented on my dewy glow. A little bit goes a long way. I highly recommend it. No noticable scent and absorbs well.
