Honua Skincare - 'Olena Beauty Oil (Turmeric Beauty Oil), 1oz (30ml)

So badly wanted to love this oil but the smell was too harsh for me. I could have dealt with it if it was just the oil that smelled but it also smelled up my entire medicine cabinet, which is when I decided I had to return it.

The scent of this product is likely to be a love it or hate it thing. It’s a very intense nutty fragrance that is completely new to me. It hit my nose as unexpectedly strong but I’ve gotten used to it. It’s not floral or fruity….more earthy than anything else.This is a very hydrating oil that is light and silky on the skin. It isn’t greasy and makes my skin feel super soft. The scent of it will be a make or break point I think for most people. I’ve used it on my face and hands and it performs well.

I have tried a lot of different face oils on amazon. This one is wonderful because it contains turmeric/curcumin. I take curcumin in capsule form internally, but I had not ever tried it on my skin. This has fresh turmeric in it and has that wonderful turmeric earthy scent with undertones of nuttiness. I like the smell so much!The products is fairly clear in color, so there are no worries about staining with the turmeric. It feels really good on my skin. The Kukui, Kamani, and Macadamia nut oils are very fresh and very high quality oils that soak in really well without being greasy. This even has Hawaiian Noni fruit extract in it. I like that the ingredients are very simple and there are no weird chemicals or silicone. I am seeing so many face products that have Dimethicone, so I am really glad they didn’t add it to this product. There is a preservative, but it is 100% natural rosemary leaf extract. I’m glad they didn’t use a synthetic, artificial preservative.I think this is well worth the price for the high quality of the product. I like the minimal packaging which is 100% recyclable.I definitely feel the Honua Glow using this product. It is absolutely wonderful!

I like that this serum has turmeric and that the bottle is one hundred percent recyclable. It's a nice serum that absorbs well into the skin, it doesn't just sit on the face as some other serums do. It has a very nice floral scent to it, yet it hasn't irritated my skin, which perfume scenting face products usually do on my skin. I gave it 4 stars because though it's a good product it's not the best serum I've used so I can't give it 5 stars.

because my face felt dry. This helped it feel much better. This is nice facial oil but the initial smell is not good. Reminds me of a cigarette that has been smoked partially, put out and saved for later. Thankfully the smell goes away fairly fast though,
