How does this compare with the Now Foods almond oil? I've read that almond oil is the most popular massage oil among massage therapists...

I cannot speak to the comparison to almond oil, I have never used almond oil. This oil is very nice... not too greasy, has a warming sensation... and smells and feels wonderful -- that is the best I can do. sorry

This is a blend that includes almond oil, though the first ingredient is grape seed oil. I find this blend to be excellent all around for both massage and general skin care. It's not too slick for massage, but provides excellent glide before it's happily absorbed by the skin. The light fragrance is gentle aroma therapy but will not be noticeable once the massage is finished.

It's sweet almond oil and you CAN cook with it. And you can use it in your hair and on your body. Sweet almond oil doesn't have much of a smell. Bitter almond oil is the oil that smells really good. But you can't cook with it! The sweet almond oil is all purpose. I use it in face and body lotions and it's great.

Now Foods is cheaper quality. This brand is a richer quality, and you can feel it working on your scalp immediately. I don't like Now Foods oils. I hope this helps.

I haven't used the Moroccan oil brand but I have used argan oil and I would say that macadamia is far better than that! it doesn't leave you feeling greasy! Does wonders for your hair too!

The label indicates "For Internal or External Use, taken with food." Or used topically, as in for moisturizing or for massage. If you want almond oil for cooking, I would purchase "Food Grade Almond Oil." I've seen it in numerous grocery stores, like H. Teeter's or Wh. Foods, near the Olive Oils.

Dear Ms.In my opinion Pro EMU oil seems to have provided all the benefits the Ultra active is touted to do !! ...however ,that said I have to say the ultra absorbs for some reason faster facially ! And a little less greasy on the face ! ....on the rest of the body PRO feels very silky !....so it could be just me !

At this point I am trusting what I have read from Dave Asprey and others. I believe cocunut oil is extremly healthy, thus MCT is as well. I have not compared my body fat, before/after, but it does seem to be improving. Jack

I bought this because I read that jojoba oil has the closest composition to the natural oils in your skin. I love it! I don't use it in my hair too much bc it's too oily for that. Coconut oil us better for my hair. But for my face, this is the best. However, if you plan to wear make up over it, use a good primer.

Sandra, I also use it for my hair and love it. I also use sweet almond oil for my face and body. From research I've seen, Avocado oil helps with marks. I'm new at trying, but so far love it on my skin. Have you tried pure Shea butter for marks as well?

Just my personal observation - while we love coconut oil, MCT oil is tasteless (at least for me), liquid at room temperature, and is odorless. While I don't object to the taste or smell of coconut oil, when you need an oil that does not have to be heated to get in a liquid state or you need taste-free, odor-free results, MCT is just right. As a massage oil it works great and actually absorbs and leaves less resdiue behind.And, as a supplement you don't have to get past the taste if you aren't a fan of coconut flavor.

I have used Jojoba oil, almond oil, and olive oil. Olive oil has a stronger smell though, so I would use another .

Just the oil produced by the almonds. Before finding this brand (used to buy Maranatha, but they changed it & I no longer like it), I made my own, in my Vitamix. When the almonds are roasted, then cooled, then ground, they produce a lot of oil. Raw almonds don't produce as much oil, but roasted ones do! I have yet to find a better, more natural tasting almond butter, & I'm SO glad I found this product!!

Yes it is comparable but I definitely prefer the original in-shower body lotion with shea butter. To me it is a much better product. Love all of Oil of Olay products but this is my favorite.

How does the consistency of this oil compare to coconut oil? I find that coconut oil is wonderful for most uses (including my skin) but that it's a little too oily for my hair. I'm looking for a nice face oil and would probably use this on my hair if it's not too heavy.

why use this instead of vegetable or bacon oil etc? this little 6 ounce bottle is very expensive and wont last very long. $10 gets way more good olive oil or coconut oil or flaxseed etc. i am just curious why this is ranked so high, high cost for very little you get.

I've tried this, and another brand. I would have to say that this one is 100% oil of oregano. I would be suprised if I was wrong, but if you send a message to the seller, they should be able to give you a definite answer.

The therapeutic grade claim is a scam. The best quality you can get and you should look for is 100% pure and organic. You can't really tell by looking at labels so you need to find trusted brands. Now Foods offers great quality essential oils.
