About Macadamia Seed Oil

Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil is a cold-pressed emollient extracted from the nuts of the Macadamia integrifolia tree, prized for its skin-compatible lipid profile that closely resembles human sebum. Composed primarily of monounsaturated fatty acids—about 56% oleic acid and 19% palmitoleic acid—along with smaller amounts of linoleic acid, palmitic acid, squalene, and vitamin E, it deeply hydrates and nourishes without clogging pores. Its high palmitoleic acid content supports skin barrier repair and cell regeneration, while its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation, reduce transepidermal water loss, and protect against environmental stressors. Rapidly absorbed and non-comedogenic, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil is ideal for moisturizing, conditioning, and enhancing skin elasticity in products for dry, sensitive, or mature skin.
