Rating: This oil has an unpleasant smell (fishy) and essential oils could not mask it. I can't speak to the quality, as I cannot get past the smell!
Rating: This smells sooooo bad hahhahahaa. Kind of extreme, but valerian root smells better than this oil. Not even sure if I can use it in blends without the use of essential oils unless I use only 1-2% of the borage oil :(

Rating: I used it in my oil phase in dilution with rice bran oil on a recipe of cream foot.
It leaves a smooth feeling. I recommend it. Good for skin but also good for feet.
