Macadamia Milk Hand & Cuticle Cream
Closes out the Macadamia Milk section with a hand and cuticle cream that leans specifically on omega-7's cuticle-repairing reputation, a genuinely good match for brittle cuticles and nail beds specifically, not just general hand dryness, given how closely this fatty acid profile matches the nail bed's own natural oils.

- 2 tbsp (30g) Raw Shea Butter

Method & application

Kitchen note
For cuticle-specific concerns, apply this cream focused just on the nail beds and cuticles rather than the whole hand, the omega-7 content does its best work there specifically.
