Characteristics of the natural fragrance used in the product

Due to the inherent characteristics of the natural fragrances incorporated into the product, there may be minor colour variations in the oil layer depending on the harvest time of the raw materials, and the colour may also change over time.
As the natural fragrance is free from synthetic additives like preservatives, you may notice that the yellow tint of the oil layer can gradually fade over time.

Please rest assured that this does not affect the product’s quality or safety.

Double layering technique for enhancing texture and radiance in dull, rough skin

STEP 1: After cleansing, shake the product up and down 3–4 times. Dispense an amount roughly the size of a large coin onto a cotton pad and gently sweep it across your skin, following your natural texture from the inner to the outer areas of your face, as if you are softly wiping away impurities.
STEP 2: Shake the product up and down again, then pour out an amount approximately the size of a small coin into your palm. Gently pat it onto your cheeks, forehead, and chin to enhance absorption.

Considerations for Use:

Please note that this product contains a high concentration of active ingredients, which may cause it to appear slightly cloudy. Rest assured, this does not affect its quality.

Please note that, due to the design of the container, you may notice some empty space inside. However, rest assured that the product exceeds the stated volume of 150 ml.

Please note that, given the nature of the product, the colour of the oil layer may lighten over time, particularly with frequent exposure to air. This change does not indicate any issue with the product, and it remains safe for use.

Please be aware that variations in your usage environment (such as the extent of shaking or the presence of oil bubbles in the container) may affect the mixing of the oil and water layers, possibly leading to minor differences in the overall user experience.
