Macadamia & Goat Milk Hand Mask
This pairs goat milk's gentle lactic acid exfoliation with macadamia's deep-penetrating palmitoleic (omega-7) fatty acid for a genuine two-mechanism hand treatment: the lactic acid clears surface dead skin while the macadamia oil repairs the lipid barrier underneath, the gloves-and-wait format is what turns this into a true occlusive mask rather than a quick-absorbing lotion.
