maker reviews & questions
questions
Qcan i use it on skin as-is?
kimiya staffIt's sold as a single-ingredient cosmetic material for external use; many makers do use it neat. Patch-test first, and keep it out of eyes.
Qhow should i store it?
kimiya staffStore cool, dark and tightly sealed; shelf life is 12 months unopened (see label for lot dates). Rich natural materials last longest kept away from heat and light.
