Frequently asked questions
Our Idan oil is made from high grade coconut, so anything natural will change texture depending on the temperature. So in hotter climates (above 28 degrees Celsius) the oil will stay liquid but once the temperature starts to cool it will start to solidify – this does not affect the integrity of the product - it’s just what natural products do. It can melt and reform over again and not lose potency.
At LIHA we offer two types of vegan Shea butter: ivory and gold. The difference in colour is merely attributed to the region in which the shea butter was extracted and can also be based on the season and production methods. The same amazing skin health properties remain, regardless of the colour, however, depending on your personal usage of the butters you may prefer one over the other. Both are rich in Vitamins A and E and work wonders for multipurpose moisture.
Ivory shea butter is from Ghana and can be crumbly in texture. It has a nutty vanilla scent... it's perfect butter for keeping small areas such as the lips, hands and feet moisturised on the go.
Gold Shea butter is from Nigeria and has a more smoky, earthy smell remnant from the roasting process of the Shea fruit and waxy in texture. It can be seamlessly smoothed into larger areas of the body as well as being the quintessential weapon against dry, flaky and itchy scalps.
As Idan oil is a base of coconut oil. Coconut can be comedogenic on some skin types, which means it can clog pores. So we don’t recommend using it as a facial oil, although some of our customers love using it on their face. It is not recommended for those with very oily skin, however some others swear by it!
Our black soap will cleanse without leaving you feeling dry and having that tight skin feeling. It’s also great for skin brightening and clarifying.
Many customers have reported a marked improvement in their acne and scarring after using Ose Gidi.
Our balm cleanser is generally suitable for most skin types, including dry, normal, combination, and mature skin. However, it is formulated to be especially beneficial for dry or dehydrated skin types, as they provide additional hydration and nourishment to the skin while cleansing. We encourage oily and acne prone skin types to try our Oju Omi mud cleanser.
