“A luxurious oil with the highest palmitoleic acid content of any plant oil.”
What it does
Macadamia oil is extracted from the nuts of Macadamia integrifolia. It is uniquely high in palmitoleic acid (omega-7) — a fatty acid also found in human sebum that declines with age. This makes macadamia oil particularly compatible with ageing skin and excellent for barrier restoration. It absorbs moderately and has a stable, long shelf life.
Benefits
- Highest natural source of palmitoleic acid — mirrors ageing skin's depleted fatty acids
- Deeply nourishing for dry and mature skin
- Good oxidative stability — slow to go rancid
- Supports barrier repair alongside ceramides
