MACADAMIA, KUKUI NUT & AVOCADO MOISTURIZER

YIELD: ABOUT 1 OUNCE TIME: 15 MINUTES

GOOD FOR: DRY SKIN

Macadamia nuts are packed with palmitoleic acid, which helps delay the skin’s

aging process; oleic acid, which regenerates and moisturizes; and phytosterols,

the building blocks of plant cell membranes. All these properties repair the skin

and allow for deep penetration. Combined with the high essential fatty acid

content of kukui nuts, this moisturizer is a perfect treatment for dehydrated skin.
