TESTIMONIAL
Great to deal with and full of positive energy. I received a sample quickly and it was beautifully packaged. The oil is great quality, lightweight with a subtle natural fragrance. We’re currently using it in one formula and developing a new product that will include this oil, as we’re very happy with the results.
