Other uses:
Great for the external use on the body.All skin types. Contains the highest level of palmitoleic acid (Omega 7) of any plant oil. This is found in human sebum among the young, but the level dramatically drops in mature skin. Therefore it is ideal for softening and toning aged or dry skin. Macadamia oil reduces wrinkles and dryness. It is a natural moisturizer and emollient (emollients attract and trap moisture from the air). Macadamia oil is light and non-greasy so it is easily absorbed into the hair shaft and skin. Another gift of macadamia nut oil is that it contains proteins, and its vitamin E contributes skin-care benefits and long shelf life. The high count of mono-unsaturated fatty acids makes the oil mimic the sebum (naturally produced oil on scalp and skin which protects it from damage). All of these qualities contribute to its reputation as a superb hair and skin treat, as well as an elixir for healing scars, sunburn, wounds and irritations.
