Macadamia Milk Intensive Body Lotion
Macadamia's omega-7 content gives this body lotion an unusually silky, fast-absorbing finish for its richness level, making it a good option for aging or parched body skin that still wants a lighter after-feel than the coconut- or shea-heavy formulas elsewhere in the book.
