Macadamia oil

Description

Macadamia oil is obtained by cold pressing the fruits (nuts) of the Macadamia ternifolia tree. It is relatively dense and has a mild nutty flavor and aroma. Its composition is very similar to human sebum, making it highly effective. It contains a large amount of fat, unsaturated fatty acids (oleic and palmitoleic). It is rich in omega 3, 6, and 7 fatty acids, as well as vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B3 (niacin), and has a high content of vitamin E, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, and proteins. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy film.

Effects and Uses

Macadamia oil has antioxidant, regenerative, softening, and smoothing properties. It reduces signs of aging, maintains skin elasticity, adds shine to hair, and prevents split ends. It is suitable for normal, dry, sensitive, and mature skin. If you have a nut allergy, use this oil with caution.
