Macadamia Milk Velvet Facial Cleanser
The 'velvet' name is earned: macadamia's own oil layered on top of macadamia milk gives this cleanser an unusually smooth, silky residual feel, positioned specifically for dry or mature skin that benefits from cleansing that adds rather than strips moisture.

Kitchen note
This cleanser's silky finish is most noticeable when you resist the urge to over-rinse, a light final rinse leaves a bit more of that velvety feel intact.
