Method of Extraction: Cold Pressed

Contains: This oil is made up of triacylglycerols that contain monounsaturated fatty acid units (80%) and has good resistance to rancidity.

Macadamia oil is particularly unusual in having a high percentage of Palmitoleic acid units not commonly found in other carrier oils.

A typical fatty acid profile of Macadamia:

Myristic ..........................................0.6 -1.6
Palmitic ..........................................7.0 -11.0
Palmitoleic ....................................18.0 - 25.0
Stearic ............................................2.0 - 4.0
Oleic .............................................55.0 - 62.0
Linoleic ............................................1.0 - 4.0

External Uses:
It is a highly nourishing and emollient oil recommended for dry and mature skin. Due to the high Palmitoleic acid, which is also found in sebum, Macadamia oil has often been recommended for older skin which starts to dry as the sebum production diminishes.

This oil makes a pleasant massage oil with good keeping properties as it has a long shelf life. It is also a skin lubricant and is easily absorbed by the skin.

It has been describing as the 'vanishing' oil. The high levels of Palmitoloeic acid units found in Macadamia oil are not found in any other known plant oil.

Cosmetic use:
Used in products that afford protection from the aging effects of the sun. In hair care it is utilized in brilliantine's and hot oil conditioning treatments.
