The jojoba I have has a mild fish oil-like smell... does that sound normal? It's not overly strong but it is weird... Thanks!

yes, it does have a very slight odor - I add a little tea tree oil, for it's healing properties. That also adds to the slight smell - but, after it is rubbed thoroughly, and absorbed, there doesn't seem to be any lingering odor. Hope this helps!

Yes I've notice the same. I add ingredients to all of my leave-ins. I add jojoba oil and aloe gel. Also I had a little oil after distributing the leave-in.

I agree About olive oil, I do not have any experience with almond oil. Jojoba oil is not as greasy and believe me if anything was going to cause breakouts, it would happen to me and it never has with this oil. I only use oil on my face and have tried many types, this is one of my favorites:) I hope this helps.

I do notice a minor fishy smell and perhaps a little change in the taste of my smoothies but really not much. Did you refrigerate after you opened it? I have a small jar I took to work that was not refrigerated and it did get fishier smelling. But still not that bad. I think a little taste, smell and color just comes with the product. This is still by fat the best spiulina product I've ever used and iI have been feeling marvelous!

I'm getting ready to order the avocado oil to alternate with NOW jojoba oil... LOVE the jojoba! Almond oil seems lighter to me and does not penetrate and moisturize for an extended period of time. I think trying avocado and jojoba will allow you to determine which works best for what... Enjoy!!

Hi Janice -- mine had a light odor, but that's been normal to other argan oil I've purchased. It should be mild, though, not overwhelming.

The Peppermint and Jojoba kind does this to my hair too so I think it is a result of the coconut oil (or something else) rather than the argan oil. I kind of like it because it gives my fine hair more texture but I have found that a few days of using a different shampoo gets it back to its old texture. Also conditioner helps to keep it from being tangly if that is what the issue is.

To be honest, I would't trust this company. Mine came in a brown plastic bottle so I couldn't tell that it wasn't true golden jojoba (as advertised and visible in the clear bottles) until I poured some in a glass. I have used jojoba for years, so as soon as I put some on my face I could tell that it wasn't the right stuff. It's not golden, it's sticky and probably refined, and there is NO official organic certification. The price is tempting but you're getting an inferior product from a dubious company. Hope this helps.

Yes, there is a mild ocean/fishy smell to it. I use it in the skin, so I haven't tasted it.

jojoba smells like nothing pretty much its almost like a natural smell, and even a little neem will take over anything imo. just have to get used to it or just mix it with shampoo when you wash.

mine smelled a little minty, but lasted me forever and still have some left over so i can't say if the new version smells like fish oil. it shouldn't.

Not really a fishy smell but you have to be right on top of it to smell it I have a keen sense of smell and don't recommend getting that close to it only put a few of these out of the time for they will take them and hidethem good luck!

That is odd, because my bottle's oil from Nuriva is thick, Orange in color and has a slight earthy smell. You should contact the company.

Tea tree oil, one of the main ingredients in Miracle oil, has a musty, minty smell. It is normal. :)

Mine looked more like a flower to me. Actually, I found the bottle unacceptable, as if the oil hardended, it was time consuming to warm it up to a more liquid state. Perhaps yours has a chunck of coconut shell???

i find it works well with jojoba oil . but alone with water, its undetermined .
