Provenance
Donor 0009 is sixty-eight and has lived under a rule of silence for eleven years. His order is withheld at his request, as is his country of residence.
He is the only donor in the collection who is not paid. He has declined payment in four letters, each shorter than the last; the most recent consisted of one word. Proceeds are directed where he specifies. We do not know where that is and have not asked twice.
Collection occurs once a year. Nine units are produced. When they are gone, No. 06 is unavailable until Michaelmas.
Method
Blended into a base of shea, squalane and glycerin with no additional actives. It is the least sophisticated formula we produce.
Application
Evening, to clean skin. A very small quantity is sufficient; the formula is dense and slow to absorb.
Unfragranced. Suitable for reactive skin.
Certificate of provenance
Batch CO-0009 is traceable to one donor, one collection and one compounding. Donor consent is held in writing, renewable, and terminable by the donor at any time without notice.

Customer reviews
I have reactive skin and this is one of two products I can wear without flushing. I buy it the day it releases.
Absurd price for nine ingredients. I have reordered twice.
