Product Review: The Jojoba Company's 100% Natural Jojoba Oil




 Check out the 100% Natural Australian Jojoba from The Jojoba Company Australia. This lovely golden serum is made exclusively with 100% natural Australian jojoba grown, nurtured and harvested on the company’s own farm.  Jojoba is a naturally hydrating antioxidant rich in vitamins A, D & E that will deeply moisturize, visibly balance and soothe skin.  


My Thoughts 

If you're concerned about the safety and quality of the products you use, there are a lot of options out there for more natural, clean skincare products without harsh chemicals, dyes, and other such ingredients.

The only ingredient, in fact in this product is pure jojoba oil, which is similar to our skin's sobum. The oil is rich in several vitamins and contains antioxidents, which help protect the skin against free radicals. 
At first, it seems a bit greasy to me, but that goes away quickly. I'm assuming because of makeup of the oil, as it's supposed to penetrate deep into the skin. Afterwards, the area I use it on (I've been focusing on hands) feels smooth, and I like how it makes the skin look after. Another thing I like is that the oil is a very versitle product, as they say it can be used as a moisturizer for the skin and lips, and it can also function as a makeup remover. 

One other thing I like is that a little bit of this goes a long way. A small drop on my hands is more than enough to cover them, while also working the oil into my cuticles. If you're looking to try something new to moisturize and nourish your skin, I'd recommend giving this a try.

Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Spray



***Product was received for free in exchange for an honest review.***

Pompeian imports 100% of its Grapeseed Oil from France. Its light flavor comes from delicate wine grapes, preserving the flavor offood. It’s perfect for stir frying, deep frying, sautéing and baking.

Grapeseed Oil is also a rich source of Vitamin E and antioxidants.

Grapeseed Oil is an all-natural cooking oil known for its high smoke point, a characteristic that makes it an ideal choice for stir-frying and deep frying. And because of its high fluidity, it reduces excess oil from absorbing into the food.



***NEW***
With the holidays right around the corner, it’s important to make sure your pantry is stocked with essential baking tools. That’s why Pompeian is excited to launch a brand new product to help you bake better this holiday season - Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Spray. 

Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Spray is an ideal all-purpose substitute for unhealthy cooking sprays or spreads in all your recipes. In addition, the new spray:



- Is light, all-natural and eco-friendly, utilizing a powerful pouch system without the use of propellants or other artificial additives, so the oil is never mixed with chemicals and no drop is wasted
- Is made from grapeseeds 100% imported from France 
- Has a high smoke point and delicate taste

Our Thoughts

Move over Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil is my new favorite!!! Olive Oil has always had a heavy scent, in my opinion, and it makes it hard to cook with at times. Grapeseed Oil is the perfect replacement! There isn't any scent associated with this oil at all, so I can bake or fry with it and not have to worry about any smells! It is also very light, it doesn't "stick" to the food like most other oils, but it does the job whether you're using the oven or the cook top!

Another thing I noticed about Grapeseed Oil is I do not have to use as much as other oils. It coats quite evenly and allows for seasonings to stick to the food easily, which is nice when you're trying to make something like potato wedges!

After having tried this product, I can't imagine using any other oil now. I have been so impressed with the quality and the multi-uses of Grapeseed Oil. Check out their oil and spray!!
