I always thought cold pressed oils are just cold pressed oils. I had a Marula oil I purchased from one source and then purchased from another source to compare. What a difference. The second oil I purchased was less greasy and absorbed quickly where the first oil was quite greasy and did not absorb that quickly. I guess it's Live and Learn. Also, the price was about the same but actually the 2nd oil cost less on sale by $2 and change. Also, the 2nd oil had no scent to it.

This post would be more informative with product names or sources.

ITA KatCat...all oils are not equal. I am glad to see you back...you had a lot of folks worried!

I really like the Marula oil from Shea Terra Organics. I don't find it greasy, and I don't notice any particular scent. I think it's well-priced, especially since there are always 30 percent off promo codes available.

You have also to keep in mind that when you're dealing with pure oils, even one from the same company can vary ever so slightly from batch to batch.

Great to see you back, Kat! Hope you continue to feel better. I just received the Acure firming serum from Phamaca and can't wait to try it tonight. Has some very good reviews. Have you used it? You can tell I haven't slowed down. Love the organic products and thank you again for the recomendations! Nice to know my wrinkles are sodtening without a bunch a chemicals.

Sorry for the typos!

I'll check out the Shea Terra Marula oil. I tried some Marula oil at the Sephora and was really pleased with how light it felt and how quickly it absorbed, but I didn't like the smell. (I don't recall the brand, but I think it's the only Marula oil they carry.) I know different brands also have different scent levels, so I'm looking to try more that may not have that same smell.

ChynnaBlue, I should have said that I don't think Marula oil is the lightest of the bunch that I have. But that's okay with me.

The first marula oil I purchased was from GOW and although I like other products by them, this is not one of them. The 2nd oil I purchased was Acure Organics Marula oil from luckyvitamin.com. The difference between the 2 same oils was significant enough to discuss. I always thought cold pressed would be the same but it was not in this case. I love the night, day cream and line eraser by Acure Organics and now fond of the manurla oil.

Thanks, ladies, for your well wishes. Getting stronger everyday but still on oxygen. It's -40 below with the wind factor so I am inside.

Thanks so much for clarifying. I was planning on ordering marula oil from Garden of Wisdom, but I think now I'll go with the Shea Terra. I've never heard of Acure, but I'll look into them, too.
