SUPER INGREDIENT FOCUS: MACADAMIA OIL
There is a reason why we are nuts about this Australian native skin 'super-food' and it's not just how they taste (especially when coated in chocolate and dusting of sea salt).
Macadamia Oil is both vitamin and-nutrient rich and our skin loves it! This multitasking skin hero provides a wide range of benefits for all skin types. These benefits range from skin-healing and moisturising to its ability to help calm and soothe your sensitive skin.
ABOUT MACADAMIA OIL
Cold-pressed from the pulp of the Macadamia Nut, this luscious lightweight oil contains a variety of ingredients that your skin will love, including:
1. Palmitoleic acid (Omega 7): This is a fatty acid that is naturally found in the skin. As we age, the levels of palmitoleic acid in our skin decrease, leading to dryness and wrinkles. Macadamia oil is abundant in palmitoleic acid, which can help restore moisture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Oleic acid (Omega 9) Oleic acid is a fatty acid that can help improve skin texture and reduce inflammation. It can also help enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin.
3. Linoleic acid: (Omega 6) Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy skin barrier. It can help reduce inflammation and prevent moisture loss.
4. Vitamin E: Macadamia oil is rich in vitamin E, which is a potent antioxidant. Vitamin E can help protect the skin from (free radical) environmental damage, which can lead to premature aging.
5. Squalene: It is naturally produced in young skin but Squalene production reduces with age. Squalene is often added to skincare as it is an excellent antioxidant, it is a fabulous emollient and has been found to be a robust UV damage repairer.
6. Phytosterols: Phytosterols are plant-based compounds that can help soothe and heal the skin. They can also help reduce inflammation and protect the skin from environmental stressors.
Overall, the combination of these beneficial ingredients makes macadamia oil an excellent choice for those looking to improve the health and appearance of their skin.
