I’m hopeful!

Bought this to turn into a balm for my spider veins. Too soon to know if it works but it’s a very nice product to use.

I have used this Company several times and have been very happy with the products I have purchased and the speed and efficiency with which my orders have been dealt with. Although the Horse Chestnut Oil is recommended for skin care, I have used it to deter spiders in my house, particularly in the kitchen and garage. It seems VERY effective for this use - I am no longer troubled with visits from spiders, large or small. I have purchased other oils and been very pleased with them. I particularly like the Raspberry Seed Oil and the Sweet Almond Oil (excellent for soothing and smoothing hands and improving appearance of nails.
