Actually, I did not expect to enjoy this product as much. Be aware that it is in solid form, and it must be heated (I do at bath-marie) to make it liquid. I use it for now only cosmetic (ultra dry hair to mask) and nothing but the smell is to fall. I know it can be used also in food, but for now, I have not yet dared. Concerning the shop, this is the first time I order at home, with a little apprehensive knowing that the seller is in England, but I have had no problems. Everything was very well packed and the package even happened a little earlier than the announced date. :)
