I just received this product and it has a strong fish smell. Is this normal?

I purchased this oil about a month ago and it did NOT smell like fish, nor should it. I bought it because I saw it on Dr. Oz, but honestly, after a month of using it, I haven't noticed any changes. It didn't fade my sun spots at all.

I agree with you it does have a fishy odorThis is the first time I ever bought Rose Hip oil so I don't know if this is what it supposed to smell like. I just hope it is from roses. It doesn't fade the sun spots like they said either.

Absolutely not. The oil has most likely gone rancid. Personally, I would not use it. I would describe the smell as neutral although I expected it to smell like the roses from which it was extracted...neveretheless, it is neither floral smelling nor like roses.

Not to my nose. Never noticed any fishy smell. Wish it instantly lifted my sags but I really like how the skin feels.

It is really strong smelling. It is being sprayed in a small contained area which compounds the problem. If using it again I would use goggles and a mask when spraying it. It worked really well and is standing up under heavy use.

The Salmon Oil has a very strong fishy smell; I put a few squirts mixed into their dry kibble and I don't notice a fishy smell on their breath at all.

I agree with everyone else. Have ordered it online And bought at Trader Joe's and never had a fishy taste. Maybe take it back, and/or try it again and give it another shot. It's worth it!

I have been buying this product for about 6months now and it does have a little smell to it, but not overwhelming. If it's quite noticeable I would suggest sending it back. It shouldn't be super strong. I notice it when I have my nose close to the container, but otherwise its faint. Good luck!

That's the smell of the leonardite (roughly 90% humic acid). This is completely normal, and no cause for concern.

No, that is not normal. Mine did not have a burning smell. You might want to contact the seller.

There is no fishy smell. I have taken this just over a month now and have experienced only minimal taste upon belching only a time or two. I have Gerd and digestion issues so I blame it on that as I have tried other products that I get the taste everytime. So far I would recommend this product 100% as a matter if fact my daughter was just advised by her Dr to take an Omega 3 supplement and I shared the Krill oil with her.

From my online research the fishy smell is normal for pure rosehip seed oil, mine is the same in odor.I store it in the fridge and that seems to neutralize the odor somewhat

I can't tell from the package, it's in Japanese. It is dried fish and appears to be salted. I'm guessing that it would last a long time if you keep it dry. I opened my package months ago and I don't notice any difference in the smell. Also, there is a web address on the package, http://www.kaneso22.co.jp/ if that is of any help.

For me, it smells like oil, for a lack of better description. I wouldn't say it is fishy. The smell doesn't bother me. It slowly disappears. I prefer it to fragrance.

It does have a tangy/fruity smell and also a slight hint of fishy smell, as it does contain fish oil. Its not overpowering by any means, though.

Ours did not have an unpleasant odor when we received it. Smelt like the typical plastic, rubber item. Maybe to speed up the process of getting rid of the smell let it soak in a strong fragrant soap? Hope this helps you out.

Fishy is not normal! It's completely plant based and should have a pleasant, neutral smell.

Hi Jo,I don't know because out unit does't have those smell.Is it brand new? Maybe that's one of the reasons. Let it work for a while and see how it's gonna happen. If it doesn't change at all, you should send it back soon! Hope this help!

Julie, I think the product smell is very light and not at all unpleasant. Could it be you got an out-of-date or defective product?
