Macadamia Oil
What is Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil?
Macadamia oil is the luxury spa treatment of facial oils—decadently rich yet surprisingly similar to your skin's natural sebum. Pressed from macadamia nuts, this oil contains one of the highest concentrations of palmitoleic acid found in nature, an omega-7 fatty acid that diminishes naturally in skin as we age. Imagine replacing exactly what time takes away, with a texture that melts into skin like butter on warm toast. It's the skincare equivalent of slipping into high-thread-count sheets—everything just feels better, smoother, and more nourished. For mature, damaged, or extremely dry skin, macadamia oil doesn't just moisturize—it recreates the optimal environment your skin craves.
