Macadamia Nut Oil

Standard of Production/Certification: Organic Extraction Method: Cold Pressed Processing Type: Unrefined Country of Origin: India Organic unrefined macadamia nut oil is a fast-absorbing oil that is pale yellow in color and with a beautiful nutty odor. It has one of the highest concentrations of monounsaturated fatty acids (70%), most of which are oleic and palmitoleic fatty acids. It is also rich in vitamin E, phytosterols, and squalene and has more iron than cold pressed grapeseed oil.

This means that macadamia nut oil, much like jojoba oil, is very effective at moisturizing and soothing the hair and skin, including very sensitive or easily irritated skin types. The phytosterols in macadamia nut oil also contribute to its suitability for sensitive skin as phytosterols hel
