Tiger Nut Milk Hand Cream
The same shea-and-plant-milk hand cream structure used across this book, here distinguished by tiger nut's oleic acid and vitamin E delivering deep penetration without a heavy residual feel, good for anyone who finds the richer Cashew or Camel Milk versions too heavy for daytime use.
