I have recently developed sensitivities to a lot of things, for reasons we can't quite figure out. For instance, pineapple and silicon based products? Never had an issue with either before, now I break out in hives with fresh pineapple or silica creams, it's not fun after 30 years of zero allergens. Anyhow, Tata Harper has yet to bring a product to market that is bothersome to my newfound sensitivities. I was constantly told essential oils are a big no-no for sensitive or reactive skins, but nothing in her line has bothered me, and I have A LOT of Tata Products. My son has a growing collection of Tata empties that I fill with less dear lotions or water to draw his attention from the good stuff. Back to this oil in particular? Nourishing, check. Cleansing, check. Emulsifying? No; anyone who thinks that an oil is going to lather is clearly confused about what skincare is meant to do... It obliterates makeup, but it's a great product to use directly on the skin, so I don't use it for that very often.

There are some very good cleansers out there, very good. And Tata H Nourishing oil is amongst the very best of them. This is an all-purpose gentle cleanser. It removes makeup, but is ideal for AM cleanse as well. This will make your skin happy.

I am not particularly fond of the smell, but I am amazed at how nicely this product works for a stress releasing skin massage. My jaw muscles kind of go aahhh relaaaaaaxxx. I have a blemish prone skin, but this oil does not give me any break outs. No problems emulsifying, but I do take a heated flannel over my face after rinsing.

I love that this oil is natural and smells wonderfully aroma-therapeutic. I did however, find this impossible to emulsify and ended up using another product to remove it. It just seemed to solidify in a horrible way when trying to remove it leaving greasy slicks behind. I have found another purpose for it which is skin softening. I use it in the bath as a face mask and remove it with a slightly lathering facial cleaner. Leaving it on the face does add to the softening effect and skin afterwards is comfortable and nourished. I got this as a deluxe sample from the Cult Beauty Best of 2015 box (which was wonderful!) but wouldn't purchase this again.

There is nothing miraculous about this product. It cleans and nourishes your skin. Didn't irritate my sensitive skin and left it feeling soft. Price point is expensive - other cheaper cleansers I've used have done as good a job.
