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.

Kitchen note
This is the hand cream in the book to reach for if you need something rich enough to genuinely help but light enough to use right before handling paper, fabric, or other materials that a greasier cream would mark.
