The Organic Macadamia Nut Oil in Ecology Cream’s is sourced directly from a small, but passionate community of growers in Rosedale, New South Wales.  The Macadamia nuts are harvested from a small grove of 1200 trees and cold pressed for maximum retention of nutrients.

Native to Australia, the Macadamia tree is traditionally called Kindal Kindal by Australia’s aboriginal people.

Organic Macadamia OilSkin Benefits of Macadamia Nut Oil

  • Macadamia nut oil is a lightweight oil, that is well absorbed without feeling greasy.
  • It’s high in monounsaturated fatty acids, including Oleic Acid (Omega 9), which are very moisturising, regenerating and softening on the skin.
  • These fatty acids also have anti-inflammatory properties.
  • The Linoleic Acid (Omega 6) in Macadamia nut oil helps to restore the skin’s barrier function and reduce water loss.
  • Macadamia nut oil also contains Palmitoleic Acid (Omega 7), an active anti-microbial that is found naturally in youthful skin.
  • Palmitoleic Acid (Omega 7) levels in our skin reduce with age, contributing to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and weathered skin.
  • Macadamia nut oil has been shown to slow the signs of ageing and has also been used to improve the appearance of scars, sunburn and other minor skin irritations.
