Macadamia Nut Oil

Whatsapp Order

Macadamia Nut Oil is a rich, golden, cold-pressed oil extracted from the nuts of the Macadamia integrifolia tree. Known for its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids—particularly oleic and palmitoleic acid—it closely resembles the natural oils found in human skin. It is lightweight, non-greasy, and easily absorbed, making it ideal for cosmetic, personal care, and culinary applications.

Highly emollient and nourishing, Macadamia Nut Oil is used in skincare, haircare, massage blends, and anti-aging formulations. Its oxidative stability also makes it suitable for use in food products, including cooking oils and dressings. It provides deep moisturization, improves skin elasticity, and protects against environmental stressors.
