Product description

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 also for mature and stressed skin – popular in anti-ageing and regenerating formulations.
Excellent also in hair care – smooths lengths and ends without a markedly heavy greasy impression (with proper dosage).
Ideal for massage blends – provides good slip and a pleasant touch.

Suitable for products such as

facial oils and oil serums (also as a “base” for blends)
body oils, massage oils, shower oils
creams, body milks, emulsions (as part of the oil phase)
lip balms, protective balms and sticks
hair products: oil wraps, end serum, leave-in emulsions
products for sensitive skin (in gentle, unfragranced formulations)

Use in formulation

Recommended dosage: typically used at approximately 1–10% in emulsions and 5–100% in oil-based products, depending on the target texture.
Miscible with most vegetable oils and butters; suitable for blends with lighter oils as well as with drier emollients.
Insoluble in water – belongs to the oil phase; in water-based products only via a suitable emulsifier or solubilisation.
It is recommended to add it during the cooling phase (at a temperature below 40 °C) – especially in emulsions and products with heat-sensitive components.
Tip for the stability of oil-based products: for oil serums consider adding an antioxidant (e.g. vitamin E).

Safety and storage

For external use only; avoid direct contact with eyes.
Before first use we recommend a patch test on a small area of skin.
In individuals with increased sensitivity to nuts we recommend increased caution.
Store well closed, in a dry and dark place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.

FAQ – frequently searched questions

Is “organic quality” important for macadamia oil also in cosmetics?

Organic quality usually means an emphasis on the origin of the raw material and the rules of organic cultivation. In cosmetics customers often seek this because of the philosophy of “cleaner” inputs and sustainability, not because organic would automatically change the sensorial properties or colour of the oil in every batch.

Can I use macadamia oil as a substitute for sunscreen?

No. Although a low natural “protection factor” is mentioned for some vegetable oils, this is not a tested and regulated UV protection. When spending time in the sun always use a tested SPF product with a defined protection level.

How to minimise oxidation of a virgin oil in an oil serum?

A dark container, limiting air access (pump dispenser), storing away from heat and adding an antioxidant (e.g. tocopherol or rosemary extract) all help. In formulations it is worthwhile to avoid excessive heating and to work cleanly to reduce the risk of deterioration.

Is macadamia oil suitable for formulations for problematic skin?

It depends on the entire formulation and individual tolerance. If you are targeting a light skin feel, use a lower percentage of the oil phase and combine it with lighter emollients; for a new product we recommend testing on a small area and observing the skin’s reaction.

How does cold-pressed (virgin) macadamia oil differ from refined in the finished product?

Virgin oil typically has a more natural aroma and may contain more minor components, whereas refined oil tends to be more neutral (it influences the product’s fragrance and colour less). The choice depends on whether you want a “natural character” or the most neutral raw material possible.
