Being Haitian, I was always familiar with the LIQUID GOLD castor oil, which we used for every ailment known to man, and when I saw Kreyol Essence, I had to have it. Was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED that at the transformation of the SCENT - as it was AMAZING, but the oil still did its magic. My hair and scalp thank you!!! Plus, being a traditional Haitian, when my son got congested, I sure rubbed some drops on his nose, chest and back, and under his feet. He was GOOD AS NEW the next morning!!!
