If you are okay with oils, are on the dry side and don’t like the feeling of squalane - this will change your life. I use it on the occasions when I want an occlusive, a product that you use last in your routine to help retain moisture in your skin. Has definitely strengthened my skin barrier, doesn’t irritate.

i just used up my current bottle of this wonderfully lightweight product that only costs about $5.
so i went to buy some more from Sephora or Ulta… and it’s apparently been discontinued. :(
i have no idea why. not only is it wonderfully inexpensive, but it works like a heavier oil (think Argan or Marula) while being lighter, less greasy, and absorbing faster. it’s great for the hair, the body, Show more
