<h4>FAQs</h4>
<p>
Q: Does refined mean it’s lower quality than unrefined oils?
<br>
A: Not necessarily. Refined oils are often chosen for their cleaner scent, lighter colour, and more consistent skin
feel, which can be ideal for everyday use and formulation.
</p>
<p>
Q: Can I use this oil under makeup or sunscreen?
<br>
A: Yes. Its dry-touch finish and fast absorption make it a popular choice for layering, especially when applied in a
small amount to slightly damp skin.
</p>
<p>
Q: Will it feel heavy on hair?
<br>
A: It’s typically very lightweight. Start with 1 drop, warm it between your palms, and apply only to mid-lengths and
ends to avoid over-application.
</p>
<p>
Q: What does tocopherol do in the oil?
<br>
A: Tocopherol is commonly added to help support oil freshness and stability over time.
