Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia is a genus of perennial plants belonging to the Proteaceae family and includes 9 species. It is found particularly in eastern Australia, New Caledonia and Indonesia.

An oil is extracted from the nuts of the tree. These small round fruits contain a seed very rich in beneficial fatty acids, which help keep the whole body healthy and provide long-lasting energy. This oil contains a lot of palmitoleic acid, which has strong antioxidant properties and helps the natural turnover of cells and counteract the effects of free radicals. Thanks to its emollient and regenerating properties, it is perfect for restoring hydration and softness to dry and irritated skin, or against stretch marks, scars and skin irritations. Like other oils, such as argan oil, it is non-comedogenic and can also be used on oily or combination skin. Palmitoleic acid is a substance that is also found in human sebum and makes this vegetable oil penetrate well and absorb very quickly, without the annoying greasy feeling. It is also useful in anti-cellulite treatments; it is restructuring and sebum-balancing for oily and damaged hair, it works as an anti-frizz for all hair types and is also used in the treatment of weak nails.
