Macadamia oil

Macadamia oil, cold-pressed in organic quality is a virgin vegetable oil obtained from the seeds (nuts) of the tree Macadamia integrifolia . It is produced by mechanical cold pressing (LZS) , thanks to which it retains its natural character – colour, delicate typical scent and a wide spectrum of naturally present lipids. Organic quality means an emphasis on the origin of the raw material and controlled cultivation according to the rules of organic production. Macadamia oil is popular especially for its comfortable “sebum-like” sensorial profile (a feel similar to natural skin sebum), quick spreadability and soft finish. In cosmetics it is used as an emollient – it softens, smooths and helps to reduce the feeling of tightness in dry or stressed skin. Active substances and natural components Fatty acids: high content of monounsaturated fatty acids, including naturally occurring palmitoleic acid (omega-7) , which is associated with a pleasant “skin-like” feel and softness. Antioxidant components: virgin oils may contain tocopherols and other minor components. Vitamins and minerals listed for macadamia oil: vitamins A, B, E and trace elements (selenium, zinc). Natural protection factor: some sources state a low natural protection factor of approximately 3–4; this is not a replacement for a sunscreen product and when spending time in the sun you should always use a tested SPF product. Key benefits Softens and smooths the skin – improves slip, spreadability and a “satin” finish. Helps reduce the feeling of dryness and tightness – creates a fine protective lipid film. Comfortable
