the nannan ingredients series: kokum butter

i’ve made me a number of scrubs over the past few years, tho nsaa facial scrub may not be the last, it’s definitely my go-to recipe for now. as i was creating nsaa, i wanted a base that’s quite easily absorbed by the skin, very light, with a relatively non-greasy feel to it.

the nannan ingredients series: avocado oil

avocados and i have history. and quite frankly i don’t know any haitians who don’t. some 30 years in, it’s still a staple in my home as a nutritious powersource: not only internally, but topically too.
