Macadamia Oil (Macadamia Ternifolia)
Produced from Macadamia Nut
Benefits of Macadamia Oil
DESCRIPTION
Macadamia nuts are native to Australia. What makes them stand out is their high fat content of around 70%, which is substantially higher than that of most other nuts. Their fatty acids are loaded with nutrients such as vitamin B, iron, calcium and phosphorus that are beneficial for skin, hair and overall health.
APPLICATION
Macadamia oil is a rich source of palmitoleic acid, which helps the skin to absorb moisture and other active ingredients. It is also known to have anti-inflammatory properties and can help prevent arteriosclerosis, thanks to omega-7 fatty acids.
EFFECT
Macadamia oil helps dry and cracked skin to regenerate, making it more resilient and strengthening the skin structure. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles and leaves the skin feeling supple and soft. The oil absorbs very quickly, without leaving a greasy film.
Properties
- Good for dry/wrinkled skin
- Emollients
- Contains palmitoleic acid, also found in sebum (so therefore useful for treating both dry and oily skins). Also contains oleic, palmitic, stearic and linoleic acids
