HOW TO USE IT
Skin Care
- Macadamia Nut Oil has good levels of Omega 7, which is not very common in vegetable oils, it will hydrate the skin very well, locking moisture in keeping it supple and flexible.
- One of the first choice oils to use with mature and very dehydrated skin types. It is even better when blended with Omega 3 oils to enhance the absorbtion.
- Palmitoleic acid is found in young people’s skin but levels diminish drastically as we age. Macadamia Nut Oil is a rich source of this antioxidant acid and tones aged or very dry skin to restore a youthful appearance.
- The oil feels extremely rich and sinks into the skin slowly making it ideal for massage oil blends and massage creams. It leaves the skin feeling very soft and smooth.
- Emollient and protective to the skin and enhances the lipid barrier of the skin thus improving hydration levels. It works very well with Jojoba Oil for this purpose.
Hair Care
- By conditioning the scalp with Macadamia Nut Oil, it will help to keep the hair soft and thicker without feeling sticky.
- Regular use of the oil in hair products helps the hair to hold its sheen for longer with a more glossy appearance.
- It makes dry, curly hair much more flexible and easier to manage.
