What the gurus are saying
This oil stains skin and clothing with a stubborn reddish-orange hue that can take days to fade, making it impractical for regular use despite its hydrating power. One expert found it deeply soothing and hydrating, but another couldn't overcome the persistent discoloration even when diluted or used sparingly. If staining doesn't bother you, it may deliver real moisture and calm, though you'll want to patch-test first and be cautious around your hairline and lighter hair.
