FAQ
1. Can this gel replace my regular moisturizer?
Yes, many people use okra gel as a lightweight daily moisturizer. If you have very dry skin, you may want to layer a cream on top.
2. Is okra collagen the same as animal collagen?
No—okra contains plant-based collagen-like compounds that hydrate the skin and help support elasticity, but it does not replace dietary collagen.
3. How often can I use the gel?
It’s gentle enough for daily use, even twice per day if desired.
4. Can I freeze the gel?
Yes! Freeze it in small ice cube trays to extend shelf life. The cooling effect is great for puffy or irritated skin.
5. Will it feel sticky?
A slight stickiness is normal at first, but it disappears as the gel absorbs into the skin.
