Frequently Asked Questions About Sustainable Oils


Can sustainable oils be used on all skin types?

Yes, sustainable oils can be used on all skin types. However, it's important to consider your skin's specific needs and sensitivities.

How should sustainable oils be stored?

Keep the oils in a cool and dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent oxidation and degradation. Ensure the containers are tightly sealed to prevent air exposure. Avoid storing the oils in humid areas, as moisture can affect their quality.


Can sustainable oils replace moisturizers?
