Macadamia Nut Oil
Macadamia Nut Oil
Macadamia Nut Oil
Macadamia Nut Oil is a rich, highly emollient oil pressed from macadamia nuts, prized in skincare for its unusually high palmitoleic acid content — a fatty acid also found in human sebum, which naturally declines with age. This makes it a favourite for mature and very dry skin.
Often nicknamed the “vanishing oil” for how quickly it absorbs, it leaves a soft, non-greasy finish while providing deep, long-lasting hydration. It has been reported to help support the appearance of scars and sunburns, and may help soothe and moisturise dry or ageing skin — though individual results vary, and this is a cosmetic ingredient rather than a substitute for medical treatment. Its gentle, stable nature also makes it a popular choice for facial oils, baby-safe formulations, and massage oils for sensitive or elderly skin.
Apply directly to skin or use as a massage oil, warming gently between the palms if desired. For formulations, blend at 5–20% into creams, lotions or balms to boost hydration; test small batches first.
Botanical Name: Macadamia integrifolia (Macadamia) Seed Oil.
Safety information: generally well tolerated on all skin types, including sensitive and mature skin. Those with a tree nut allergy should exercise caution, as macadamia is a tree nut oil. A patch test is recommended before first use — see the Safety Data Sheet and Ingredient & Allergen Statement in the Product Documents section below for full detail.
