-- Product Review --  I am a big fan of essential oils, so when Lusine Grigoryan of Elaia Beauty LLC (based in Hollandale Beach, Florida - USA) connected with me about reviewing their product I was thrilled. We arranged for me to review their argan, rosehip and jojoba oil products around July 3 rd ; the product arrived sometime after or around July 7​th I'm not sure of the exact date, however it was there for us when Dave visited the US postal service on his next trip which was July 11th. The products arrived in appropriately sized brown paperboard boxes that had no additional inks, printing or labeling other than a small identification and bar code label on one side.

-- Product Review --  It was such a sincere pleasure to work with Jan Williams of Simply Pure Skin Care company re: this review project for their Organic Rosehip Oil product.

The 1 f. oz. brown glass bottle comes equipped with a rubber tipped dropper.  The label states that rosehip oil provides the skin with vital nutrients improving elasticity, radiance, cell regeneration, age spots, stretc...

 -- Product Review -- We started discussing our taking on Nura Natural Skincare’s 100% pure certified organic rosehip seed oil review project on April 29 th and received the package on May 9 th when Dave picked it up at the border a couple miles from our location. I took some extra time with this project as I wanted to really try out the product and give it time to do its thing. The first thing I noticed about it is that there are no fillers, additives, fragrances or alcohols. It is said to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soothe dry and sensitive skin issues, ease ailments from age spots and scars, acne, rashes and eczema, to dark spots and sun burns. It can be used for all skin types anywhere on the body – 3-4 drops at a time on freshly cleaned and still damp skin twice a day. Interestingly the company says the product is guaranteed to refresh and revitalize, to penetrate, hydrate and heal damaged skin. The company states: “ I...
