Macadamia Nut Oil – The Benefits

If you have naturally oily or congested skin don't be put off by the thought of using products with natural oils as the main ingredient! These natural oils do not cause oily skin or clog the pores. While all skin types may react differently to skincare oils, macadamia nut oil tends to be highly tolerated by the vast majority of people.

The sciencey stuff'

Macadamia Nuts contain approximately 80% monounsaturated fats, including oleic acid, which protects your heart from disease and reduces cholesterol levels. The oil is also a rich source of palmitoleic acid, which is a power antioxidant that supports healthy cell membranes, hydrates skin and supports skin healing. The oil can minimise skin conditions such as dandruff, dry skin, dry hair and brittle nails.

These are the main benefits of using Macadamia Nut Oil in your skin care and on your hair:

'½ It won't break you out, it will actually help the healing of breakouts and acne scars. '½ Keeps your skin moisturised whilst also helping to balance oil production. '½ It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. '½ Applied on the hair it will leave your locks shiny, silky and moisturised.
