Notes
Smooth onto damp skin and shave. Lasts 3-4 weeks in a cool, dry area; refrigerating extends it. Take out only what you need with clean dry fingers or a spoon. Safety: patch test; not on cuts or irritated skin; oils make the shower floor and razor rinse water slippery, and can build up in drains; rosemary oil is best avoided in pregnancy; kukui is a nut oil.
