Tiger Nut Milk Moisturizing Body Lotion
Tiger nut milk's high oleic acid content (similar to olive oil's fatty acid profile) means this lotion penetrates deeply without the greasy surface residue that heavier saturated fats can leave, a genuinely different feel from the coconut- and shea-heavy lotions elsewhere in the book.
