170 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other anti-aging skincare: serums, night creams, facial peels, wrinkle patches and anti-aging devices we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
["This is the 30 ml version of Botanical Beauty's pure, cold-pressed plum kernel oil from France, priced at $19.95. Like the smaller size, it is unrefined, undiluted, and unscented, with plum kernel oil as its only listed ingredient.", 'It is formulated for combination, dry, normal, and sensitive skin. At $19.95 for 30 ml, it works out to a lower cost per milliliter than the 15 ml bottle at $12.95, which makes it the more economical choice for regular use.', "The 1 oz size has 170 reviews at a 4.1 average, a smaller sample than the 15 ml version's 504 reviews. The formula itself is identical, so the difference in rating likely comes down to a smaller and more varied group of reviewers rather than the oil itself."]
Pros
- Better value per milliliter than the smaller 15 ml bottle
- Pure, single-ingredient plum kernel oil with no dilution
- Unscented, which suits fragrance-sensitive skin
- Larger size means fewer repurchases for daily users
- Cold-pressed and unrefined processing
Cons
- Rating of 4.1 trails the smaller bottle's 4.3, based on a smaller review sample
- No recent monthly sales reported
- Single ingredient formula with no added antioxidants or actives
- Higher upfront cost than the 15 ml size, even though it costs less per milliliter
Performance notes
Because this is the same cold-pressed plum kernel oil as the 15 ml version, the skin-feel and performance should be consistent between sizes: a light to medium texture that may help support softer, more hydrated skin by replenishing surface lipids. The main practical difference is value and longevity, since this bottle holds twice the volume for roughly 54% more in price.
What buyers say
A 4.1 rating from 170 reviews is a reasonable, if less extensive, track record compared to the smaller bottle's 504 reviews at 4.3 stars. Since it is the same formula, the rating gap is more likely a function of sample size than any real difference in the oil, but shoppers who want the largest possible proof of consistent results may lean toward the smaller size's larger review base first.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same formula as the smaller 15 ml bottle?
Yes, both are described as 100% pure, cold-pressed, unrefined plum kernel oil from France with no other listed ingredients. The only differences are the bottle size and price.
Is the 30 ml size a better deal?
On a per milliliter basis, yes. At $19.95 for 30 ml versus $12.95 for 15 ml, the larger bottle costs less for each milliliter of oil, which makes it the more economical option if you already plan to use it regularly.
Why does this size have a slightly lower rating?
With only 170 reviews compared to 504 for the smaller size, the rating here is based on a smaller sample. Since the formula is identical, the gap likely reflects normal review variation rather than a difference in the oil itself.
