Product Description:

Macadamia Oil is a cold pressed carrier oil extracted from the nuts of the macadamia tree (Macadamia integrifolia), native to the subtropical regions of Australia. The oil is golden yellow in colour with a fine, nutty scent and a rich yet fast absorbing texture, often described as a dry oil because it sinks into the skin quickly despite its nourishing feel. Macadamia Oil is particularly notable for containing palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that is naturally present in human skin but relatively rare among plant oils. At Maduras Herbals, we supply Macadamia Oil as a raw material for cosmetic manufacturers, DIY formulators, hair care brands, and skin care product developers looking for a nourishing, fast absorbing carrier oil.
