What science knows

Tiger nut "oil" comes from a tuber, not a nut — high in oleic acid and vitamin E with a fatty-acid profile close to olive oil. In skin care it is valued for suppleness and a cushioned, nourished feel, with antioxidant content that supports the formula's stability.

What tradition says

One of humanity's oldest cultivated foods — ancient Egyptians packed tiger nuts into tombs for the afterlife, and in West Africa and Spain (as horchata de chufa) they still sweeten daily life today.

In your ritual

In AYA, tiger nut is the comfort: ancient nourishment that leaves skin supple and quietly satisfied.
