Can I use your products if I have dry or sensitive skin?
Yes! Abyssinian oil is ideal for all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin.

It also helps lock in the ingredients of your other skincare products so that you can absorb and retain their benefits. With a comedogenic rating of 0, Abyssinian oil is very similar to the oil your skin naturally produces, making it unlikely to cause a reaction.
However, everyone's body chemistry is different. Always do a patch test to see how your skin reacts when introducing any new products to your skincare routine.
