Side by Side Comparison of: Essential Depot vs Angèle

OMG!!! I need more of this Almond Sweet Oil!! This is my main ingredient and #1 carrier oil!!

This is a great deal for almond oil. Has a pleasant smell and works great for all my EO blends I like to make. My only disappointment is it took me so long to commit to a bigger bottle.

Perfect for making homemade body scrubs along with scented oils. Made great gifts.

A very high quality almond oil. I use it for so many beauty applications. I love it! Very pleasant smelling and feels wonderful!!

Good quantity ,love it for rub down,moisturizing skin after shower or bath.Many uses for this oil.

A lovely moisturizing oil that is very light and absorbs well. In soap it produces a low, stable lather, but I wouldn't use it more than about 5% - 10% in soap - as it's not a very hard oil in soap. Wonderful for dry, inflamed, or irritated skin. It's really nice in lotions, massage bars, bath bombs, bath oils, and especially in salt and sugar scrubs. Excellent as a massage oil. Sweet Almond Oil is renowned for its rich concentration of oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids which help to give it unequalled penetrating and restructuring properties. This oil also makes an unparalleled carrier for salt (for use in salt scrubs).Fatty Acids:Oleic 64-82%Linoleic 8-28%Palmitic 6-8%Stearic 2%

I am a natural oil guy - I use baby oil, but this is my first organic Almond oil and I have only used it less than 1 month. In summary, I love it: easy to apply, not oily, feels good on body ... I don't have any complaint at all. I use it all over my body and also for massages. I will say it doesn't have any scent, so it "feels" weird to use "cream" on my body that doesn't have scent, so I dropped about 10 concentrated Lavender oils into the bottle - hum, much better for my liking. I would like to see the long-term effect though (smoother, softer skin perhaps). In the meantime ... I will buy again. I actually bought 2 initially - gave one to a friend that's into "naturals", she like it very much.Updated [03/1216]: I just bought 2 more bottles on sale! Out of curiosity, I tried Molivera Sweet Almond (as alternative), too low viscosity - watery. This is the one to have. I must admit am yet to see the long term change (smoother, softer skin - perhaps will not happen for me)BTW, the newer bottles have better transparency unlike the old bottles with almost ZERO transparency. So, newer bottles allows for oil level to be seen unlike older bottles.

I have oily skin; however, the winter weather causes me to have dry patches on my chin and forehead...no bueno! I tried sweet almond oil a bit hesitant because since I already have oily skin I do not want to appear like I have grease smeared all over my face. I was pleasantly surprised! It only takes a small amount-don't put too much or you will look greasy. It's great as a moisturizer before I put on my make-up or just bare faced. Love!

I have been looking for more natural beauty products, especially facial cleansers, moisturizers, etc. I have tried jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and virgin coconut oil for moisturizing my face. All were ok, but almond oil has them all beat. Unlike all of those others I've tried, this oil really absorbs into my skin. I use this mostly on my face, underneath primer & makeup. I also apply it before bedtime after washing my face. I'm extremely happy with this oil. My skin looks great and it helps reduce the appearance of my fine wrinkles.

I tried massaging the oil over my face right after I step out of the bath, while my skin is still wet. I find it really helps soften the skin without clogging my pores. Also, it doesn’t have much of a scent at all, which I appreciate. I sometimes add to the oil a little lavender, my favorite scent. I use such a small amount each day, so the bottle will last a long time.

I love this product! I have been using it for just over a week and have already had some great results. I have a dry skin patch on my ankle that I had previously unsuccessfully treated with coconut oil; I've used this almond oil on it four times and it's almost gone. I'm also using it in my hair and it looks great and is not at all frizzy or weighed down. It also works really well as a skin moisturizer.In addition to how well it works, I really like that it has virtually no scent. This oil delivers on all marks and I could not be happier with my purchase.

Although the price is higher than a lot of other sweet almond oils, I find that it works on my face really well, it feels softer and smoother and has improved my complexion significantly. Maybe it’s those Mediterranean almonds they use to make the oil! I have very sensitive skin and I am happy to pay a few more dollars to get the quality results I want. And it takes only a few drops a day so it will last me a long time. I also color my hair which can dry it out in the process. Using this sweet almond oil has helped my hair regain it's luster and shine and all it takes is a few drops massaged into my scalp! I'd highly recommend this product to everyone!!

Not bad, very little smell but Coconut oil has better properties beside the smell...

great moisturizer

I was using Now almond oil and thought of giving essential depot almond oil a try. I felt difference in quality and switching back. Overall ok quality but I would prefer Now brand over this.

I enjoy this oil. Although it has nearly no fragrance to it, it leaves skin feeling soft and luxurious. Because it has no lasting scent, you can wear perfume or scented lotions also and not alter the fragrance. I like this and mix it with the avocado oil to really leave my skin soft and supple all day.

I keep glass vase of this near my bed. It's great for massages and lubrication. My one complaint is that the bottle's opening is hard to pour from. If you want to pour it into a smaller bottle, you'll need a funnel.

Great value. Wish it came with a lid that you could squirt a small amount out at a time instead of having to pour it out. It absorbs well into the skin and is odorless.

This almond oil works well as a good body oil to rub on while your skin is still damp or put a little in your tub. Have used almond oil in the past but not one with this heavy viscosity. Tried it on my hair but took far to many shampoos to get it completely out !

No sentI thought it would smell like sweet almond, literally zero smell. Works well for massage and moisturizers very good

The oil is a good value, and works extremely well as a moisturizer. The reason for the 4 starts is that for some reason, I expected it to smell "sweet" when actually, there is really no scent. But it is a wonderful oil.

I am happy with my order,took a bit longer to arrive than I thought it would. bottle has inside feature to keep oil from leaking out if on side .Can be removed ,but I leave in in case bottle falls over.

good delivery. I like it so far it rubs in well but I feel like I need to apply more later.

I used this oil in place of a basic moisturizer and its fantastic! No greasy residue, it goes on smoothly and leaves your skin feeling super soft and lovely! Definitely recommend

The oil is great, but the packaging is terrible! The flat top and wide mouth make it very difficult to pour from a full bottle and it runs down the side of the bottle.

Used this to make salt scrubs & thought it would have the scent of the 'almond'. It barely had any scent at all. :(

So far no issues but it would have been good if the product has the ingredients detail and where it can be used.

I bought this when I was pregnant because I read it helps reduce stretch marks. I don't know if it helps because I had to stop using it because it is very thick and left a film on my sheets that I couldn't wash out no matter what I tried so I had to get rid of them.

Will have to update as I use. So far, great price for quantity, and seems nice enough texture wise, but with no discernible fragrance at all, it could be canola oil, for all I know. Some reviews say it smells great, or smells like almonds, and I am not getting that at all. One other review said something about liking it because they have a hard time finding unscented...so, I am confused and undecided.

It does not keep my skin as moist as olive oil. It is a nice light oil better suited for massage.

My boyfriend had read that putting almond oil under your eyes before going to sleep and wiping it off in the morning helps to get rid of bags. This did not seem to be the case for us so it did not work for what we intended. It does smell nice though.

I bought this to try for an after shower body lotion. I've been using coconut oil which is kind of a pain since it's solid at room temp. This is a liquid and has no smell to it. I find it a little heavy compared to the coconut oil and prefer the coconut by far.This makes a nice massage oil and it's easy to add some scent to it.It's a good price for a quality product but I just don't like almond oil as much as coconut.

The oil is ok but I was expecting much more of an almond scent

The oil it's self is great I love it....But my cap was broken and some had leaked out ....it needed to be sealed better padded better...Thank youTracy S.

The Angele box arrived damaged (inside of an undamaged shipping box) and therefore I am leery to use the product.

Use it every night haven't really seen much difference yet anyway

Very disappointed. This oil has no smell whatsoever. I purchased it because I love the smell of almond oil and was going to make sugar scrubs with it. It wasn't expired so I don't know why there was no smell.

Spilled inside the packaging, smells awful, and it is almost clear in color. This is disgusting. I will be requesting a refund.

This is not real almond oil. It doesn't have the scent, consistency, or effect that that almond oils from past brands have had. Invest in good almond oil. This is just a decent filler oil if your making any homemade products like bath bombs or butter whips. This is some generic vegetable oil or something.

Don't like the smell of it. I was looking for a more nutty smell.

itd alright

I tried this product for my business, because of the price. However, it did not hold up compared to another oil from another company. I wondered if it is 100% sweet almond oil?

I was hoping product compared to and was a cheaper version of the Jafra Almond Oil but it does not compare.But it is a lot cheaper and a fine product for the price

My cap was cracked/broken when received in the mail. So it is quite hard to use without it dripping

A significant amount of oil leaked out during shipment. A complete mess.

Does not smell sweet or like almonds like the others I have purchased.

I returned product. It did not have any fragrance at all.

Went rancid within a week

I bought this oil last September because it was an ingredient in a fluffy moisture lotion recipe. Well, it's been in the back of my fridge because I didn't find time to make the lotion. Today, I decided something must be done with it. So I gave myself a massage. The guy who referred to it as motor oil in the question section hit the nail right on the head. I had to lather up three times in the shower and I still feel like an oil slick; I'm afraid to put my clothes back on for fear of ruining them. Thank goodness I didn't get it in my hair.Before my attempted massage, I asked the question: "Can this be used for cooking"? I'm deleting that question and certainly not using it for cooking. My bacon grease is lighter.

I have used many brands of Almond Oil in the last two years and have never experienced anything like this. Almond Oil normally has a very light sweet scent. This stuff smells like used motor oil. I don't understand how so many people are rating this so high. Especially the people who are using it in skin care products. It smells horrible!

I've been using the oil for month now and don't see any results of my dark circles lighten up

The bottle's cap came completely broken off with the box in shambles. Very disappointed.
