Important instructions

• Storage: Akpi butter should be stored in a cool, dry place to extend its shelf life. Direct sunlight and high temperatures should be avoided as they can affect the consistency and effectiveness of the butter.

• Hygiene: Always use clean utensils to avoid contamination. This is particularly important for products that are used directly on skin or hair to prevent bacterial growth.

• Skin test: Before using Akpi butter on a large area, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies, do a patch test. Apply a small amount to part of your skin, such as your wrist, and wait 24 hours to make sure no allergic reaction occurs.

• Dosage: Start with a small amount, especially if you are using Akpi butter for the first time. You can gradually increase the amount depending on how your skin or hair reacts.

• Intended use: Make sure to use the Akpi butter according to its intended purpose. Although it is versatile, its effectiveness can vary depending on the type of application.

• Shelf life: Note the expiration date and look for changes in smell, color or consistency that could indicate perishability.

• Heat application: In some cases it may be helpful to slightly warm the akpi butter to make it more pliable, especially if it is in solid form.
