Base Oils - Macadamia oil

(Macadamia integrifolia and M. ternifolia)

It is one of the few plant oils that contains high amounts of palmitoleic acid, which is also normally found in the sebum of man, and this oil therefore has a great affinity to our own skin.

It is very emollient, and is therefore great for dry and ageing skin.

In aged skins, where sebum production has reduced, Macadamia oil can be of great benefit.

Macadamia massage oil has great emollient properties and for this reason is good to include in a base massage oil blend.

Macadamia oil is great to use since it is readily absorbed and helps to soften the skin and is also said to help reduce fine lines when used in facial massage.
