Abyssinian Oil

So I bought this product a good while back for my daughters very dry frizzy hair as pre wash treatment. It has made the world of difference to her hair. I had been only using this product for hair until recently, as the weather grew colder, my face was feeling very dry, itchy and sore which isn’t usual for my skin. It would seem that fate would intervene and help me with my problem. I had accidentally dropped my new just opened pot of rejuvenate night cream down the toilet and with it being Christmas I couldn’t get a new one quickly. Half paying attention and feeling an annoyed with myself I put on the Abyssinian oil on my face instead of my usual rosehip seed oil, well! can I just say this really is platinum in a bottle, forgetting that its an all rounder I just carried on rubbing it in anyway best not to waste. It sorted my sore dry skin very quickly and saved my panic of having no night cream over the holidays. My skin is feeling subtle and far less dry and near enough on the mend. I think even when I get my new bottle of night cream, I will use the Abyssinian oil in the morning with my CS serum and day moisturiser and the rosehip seed oil at night before my night cream. Thank you CS for creating such fantastic affordable and trusting products… Maria Ireland

I purchased this Abyssinian Oil in pursuit of a face oil that wouldn’t break me out, and this delivered. It’s lovely on its own and so easy to mix with other skin and hair products as well. The packaging is the icing on the cake though; the pump is just perfection—it’s so, so easy to get the exact amount you’re trying to dispense. Love this and will repurchase if I ever run out.

I have been using this oil for the 3 months now, prior to this, I was using sweet almond oil. I liked the effects of almond oil but I fell completely in love with this oil. My hair is healthier, shinier and stronger, even without going to the hairdresser for trims during lockdown. This oil has also aided in regrowth. The only con is the packaging – I’m not sure if it’s the pump or the lid, but there has been a lot of leakage. I’m not too disappointed about the packaging as a little of the oil goes a long way and I can understand that for the company it’s a case of trial and error. I will still be repurchasing though.
