Are you concerned with dull, dry or patchy skin? If you answered yes, then this might be the right time to let you in on a little secret we have! Macadamia nut oil. One of the best hydrating oils from a native Australian nut that can do wonders for your skin. 

 

What Is Macadamia Oil?

Macadamia oil is produced by pressing macadamia nuts, a transparent, pale yellow liquid. It is carefully extracted from macadamia nut pulp and transformed into a delectable elixir.

Excellent for all skin types and full of potent antioxidants and necessary fatty acids, macadamia oil is a true superfood for your skin. It contains high amounts of palmitoleic acid (22%), a crucial fatty acid that starts reducing in quantity with age, and acts as an all-around multitasker and a true skin hero. 

Macadamia nut oil is usually cold pressed. It is extracted from the nuts and then added to the skincare products, to create magic for your skin. 

 

5 Benefits of Macadamia Oil for Your Skin

 

1. Smoother skin

Macadamia nut oil helps to achieve smoother skin and helps to build and strengthen the skin barrier.

Oleic acid, found in macadamia nut oil, is great for maintaining skin suppleness. Macadamia nut oil has a lot of additional fatty acids in addition to oleic acid, which help to soften your skin and protect it from ever feeling tight or dry.

 

2. Hydrated

In terms of hydration, the water you're drinking nourishes every other part of your body and your skin is the last body part that gets any hydration. Drinking a lot of water won't give you exceptionally moisturised skin.

We recommend you try Macadamia nut oil because it has everything your skin needs to be hydrated and maintain its own natural moisture balance. Macadamia oil is packed with vitamin E, which binds to water and keeps it in the cells of your skin.

 

3. Calm

Do you have sensitive skin? Does your face become red and inflamed no matter what you put on it? Macadamia nut oil contains higher quantities of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, which have potent calming properties.

Even the most sensitive skin types can benefit from macadamia nut oil since it has a balanced amount of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Macadamia nut oil can help calm and soothe skin that is red, itchy, dry, flaky, or otherwise irritated in order to help it return to its normal equilibrium.

Even if your skin is naturally oily, macadamia nut oil is a fantastic choice for you. It improves your skin’s natural oil barrier. 

 

4. Antioxidant Rich

Antioxidants are essential for the health of your skin cells. Free radicals are unstable molecules that attach to your skin cells and harm them. Antioxidants assist your skin cells fight off and neutralise the free radicals.

Free radicals are produced by the sun's ultraviolet radiation, smoking, pollution, and even food additives like sugar. Skin that has been damaged by free radicals seems dull and older than it actually is.

Squalene, one of the most potent antioxidants found in macadamia nut oil, is also its best antioxidant. Your cell's reaction to free radical stresses is lessened by squalene. Your body produces squalene naturally, but as we get older, these levels decrease. This is where macadamia nut oil comes in handy, supplying squalene to the cells, shielding our skin, and enabling it to age in the most elegant way. 

 

5. Visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles

By promoting the regeneration of skin keratinocytes, the palmitoleic acid and squalene found in macadamia nut oil may work to delay the onset of wrinkles. Additionally, linoleic acid aids in maintaining the skin's moisture content and suppleness by lowering trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Macadamia oil's moisturising properties are beneficial for dry skin, aged skin, newborn skin, lip balms, and eye creams.
