Macadamia Nut Oil

Macadamia Nut Oil

Ingredient Name: Macadamia Nut Oil (Macadamia integrifolia)

What is it? Most of us know macadamia nuts are delicious, but they also contain a deeply nourishing oil for the skin. Macadamia nut oil is densely packed with phytosterols and nutrients with a unique profile of fats, including palmitolieic acid (an omega-7 fatty acid), oleic acid, and linoleic acid. Studies suggest that palmitolieic acid is effective against common bacteria, yeast, and fungi strains.*

Nourishing properties:*

  • Rich in omega-7 fatty acids
  • Powerful antimicrobial applications
  • Accelerates skin repair
