A 2005 Sibert Honor Book

The story of Sequoyah is the tale of an ordinary man with an extraordinary idea--to create a writing system for the Cherokee Indians and turn his people into a nation of readers and writers. The task he set for himself was daunting. Sequoyah knew no English and had no idea how to capture speech on paper. But slowly and painstakingly, ignoring the hoots and jibes of his neighbors and friends, he worked out a system that surprised the Cherokee Nation--and the world of the 1820s--with its beauty and simplicity. James Rumford's Sequoyah is a poem to celebrate literacy, a song of a people's struggle to stand tall and proud.

Subtle, pleasant scent. Very creamy and moisturizing. Use on face and neck for months and have purchased multiple times. Leaves skin feeling hydrated, not greasy.

Pure, non toxic, and it really works!
I just got this and it is amazing! I am 56 and my skin that used to be oily is now like fish scales even using a shower water filter. I have been using oils and they do not help. I know now that oil just helps retain moisture but post menopause skin needs to be hydrated. One application and my skin is glowing and silky again and there is no strong scent. Amazing, pure, and fairly priced product! Will be continuing to use this. I only wish it came in an 8-12oz size but I just ordered two.

Overall really good product
Melts into your skin. My skin clears up much faster after a breakout. Smells good (in my opinion). Love the glass jar. I got it mid August and still have about a months supply left so it last awhile and I use morning and night. A little goes a long way. Skin always looks better when I wake up. My only complaint is if I don’t let this soak in for a bit before going outside or being active it sweats out really bad.

I use this every day on my face and body
I have this in my subscriptions because it works so well and makes my skin feel so soft. It's a very good quality product but it is whipped. I didn't know that till it first came
