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. Q: Can I use this oil under makeup or sunscreen? 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.
Q: Will it feel heavy on hair? A: Its typically very lightweight. Start with 1 drop, warm it between your palms, and apply only to mid-lengths and ends to avoid over-application. Q: What does tocopherol do in the oil? A: Tocopherol is commonly added to help support oil freshness and stability over time.
