Rice Milk Daily Cleansing Fluid
Jojoba oil is technically a liquid wax ester, not a true oil, which gives it a uniquely non-greasy, fast-absorbing profile close to skin's own sebum, a good match for rice milk's own light, starch-based texture in a daily cleanser meant for sensitive or easily irritated skin.

Kitchen note
Rice milk's natural starch content means this cleanser can feel slightly different in texture from the book's other milk cleansers, a light, silky rather than creamy feel, which is characteristic rather than a flaw.
