Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil
Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil is a fixed golden yellow oil obtained from the nuts of the Macadamia integrifolia tree, native to Australia. It is a high oleic acid oil (50–67% oleic acid, 0–5% linoleic acid), making it highly emollient. It is notably rich in the rare fatty acid palmitoleic acid (12–25%), which contributes to its characteristic "cushiony" feel and easy absorption.
