Macadamia Seed Oil
Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil is a golden yellow fixed oil obtained from the nuts of the bushnut (Macadamia ternifolia, Proteaceae), consisting primarily of glycerides of fatty acids. It is a high oleic acid oil (50–67% oleic acid, 0–5% linoleic acid), making it highly emollient. It also contains an unusually high level of the rare fatty acid palmitoleic acid (12–25%), which contributes to its characteristic "cushiony" feel.
Provides strong emollient and nourishing properties due to its rich fatty acid profile, leaving skin soft and supple. Its high palmitoleic acid content gives it a distinctive cushiony texture and it is noted to be easily absorbed by the skin.
Its high oleic acid content and low linoleic acid content make it less ideal for acne-prone skin types.
