MACADAMIA OIL

INCI Name: Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia Oil is a luxurious, lightweight oil extracted from the nuts of the Macadamia integrifolia tree. Known for its similarity to the skin’s natural sebum, it absorbs quickly, making it perfect for all skin types, especially dry and mature skin. Rich in omega fatty acids, especially oleic and palmitoleic acids, Macadamia Oil supports skin barrier function, hydrates, and adds a smooth, soft feel to formulations. Its unique composition makes it ideal for both skincare and haircare, contributing to a natural, healthy glow.

Benefits and Uses:

• Skin Care: With its exceptional emollient properties, Macadamia Oil softens, smooths, and nourishes the skin, making it a popular choice for anti-aging formulations, moisturizers, and massage oils. It helps balance oil production and can improve the skin’s overall appearance by reducing dryness and flakiness.
• Hair Care: Known to strengthen and moisturize, Macadamia Oil is commonly used in hair conditioners, masks, and serums for added shine and reduced frizz. Its lightweight texture is ideal for fine to coarse hair, leaving hair silky without weighing it down.
• Healing and Repair: Macadamia Oil’s high content of palmitoleic acid aids in cell regeneration, making it useful for formulations targeting stretch marks, scars, and chapped skin.

Key Components:

• Palmitoleic Acid (Omega-7): Rare in plant oils, this fatty acid is similar to sebum, enhancing hydration, promoting elasticity, and supporting skin barrier health.
• Oleic Acid (Omega-9): Provides deep moisturizing and nourishing benefits.
• Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): Helps balance oil production and has anti-inflammatory properties, suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
• Phytosterols and Vitamin E: Natural antioxidants that protect and restore, enhancing the oil’s skin-soothing and regenerative properties.

Macadamia Oil can be incorporated into lotions, creams, facial oils, body butters, hair conditioners, and hair serums. It’s also an excellent addition to massage oils due to its smooth, gliding texture and skin affinity.
