Notes on care
Enjoy this product's original "feel" because it has not been treated with any harsh chemicals. Natural skin oils protect against stains and add luster and depth to the container's surface, and handling the container with bare hands adds to its appearance. After cleaning, wipe off moisture with a dry cloth and dry well in air.
