Macadamia oil

What is Macadamia oil?

Macadamia oil is a light, non-greasy oil derived from the macadamia nut. The macadamia tree is native to Australia and the oil is rich in essential fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid. It also contains vitamins A, D, E, and K for happy, healthy skin.

What are the benefits?

Great for many skin types, macadamia oil is known for its ability to strengthen skin cells, improve skin elasticity and banish dry skin. It also helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by keeping skin moisture levels topped up.
Known to have anti-inflammatory properties, the oil is readily absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy residue as it closely resembles human sebum (your body's natural moisturiser).
Macadamia oil is also bursting with squalane (hello, antioxidant properties!) and oleic acid. The result? Boosted cell regeneration levels which quickly repair chapped skin and dry skin. Plus, phytosterols work to calm irritated skin.
And for those with oily skin, listen up. Omega 6 linoleic acid helps balance sebum production and creates a natural protective barrier, while omega 7 palmitoleic acid aids with healing and texture.

How do we use it?
