FAQ

Does this smell like artificial strawberries?

No, it does not contain any synthetic fragrances. It has a very faint, natural, slightly nutty strawberry seed scent. It is much more subtle than the artificial scents used in conventional high-street body butters.

Is a 15ml bottle enough?

Yes, because it is a 'booster,' you only need 1-2 drops per application. Most users find that a single 15ml bottle lasts for approximately 6-8 weeks of daily use, making it very cost-effective despite the smaller bottle size.

Can I use this instead of a moisturiser?

It depends on your skin type. If you have very oily skin, this might suffice as a light nighttime moisturiser. However, for most, it is best used as a 'booster' added to a cream or as the final step to seal in moisture.
