Nut Oils-Macadamia
|
Overview
Macadamia Nut Oil - macadamia ternifolia
Extremely emollient and soothing, another nut oil that I love to use for winter skin care. It absorbs well, leaving parched skin soft and pliable.
Use from 10% to 20% of your skin care formulation.
Because it is a vegetable oil that has a higher % of Palmitoleic Acid, which has been indicated to act as an antioxidant, it may help to protect cell membranes from deterioration. As our skin has less of this as we get older, Macadamia Nut Oil is often recommended for maturing skin. It is easily absorbed, similar to sebum produced in our skin, good for aged or dry skin.
Soapmaking Tidbits: Macadamia Nut Oil is rich in monounsaturated oils, and oleic and palmitoleic acids. It makes for an emollient soap and can be used at a generous proportion in a soap recipe but may take awhile to harden.
SAP .139
Macadamia Oil is said to be a nut oil least likely to cause allergic reactions. Be sure to label any item for sale as containing nut oil and be aware when sharing that it can be a problem for anyone with nut allergies.
