Organic Macadamia Vegetable Oil

Are you looking for a light, highly well-tolerated vegetable oil, rich in palmitoleic acid—the fatty acid found in youthful sebum—with a silky, penetrating feel, perfect for facial care for mature skin, aftershave treatments, and lightly nourishing body care? Herbes et Traditions Organic Macadamia Vegetable Oil (Macadamia integrifolia) is extracted by cold pressing macadamia nuts. Rich in palmitoleic acid (16-22%)—the omega-7 fatty acid naturally present in youthful sebum—and oleic acid (55-65%), it is a very special VO for mature skin care. 50ml. Organic Ecocert.

Cosmetic profile and properties

• Rich in palmitoleic acid (omega-7, 16-22%): a rare fatty acid in plant-based cosmetics. Naturally present in youthful human sebum, its production decreases with age. Macadamia VO is one of the richest plant sources of this fatty acid.
• Very rich in oleic acid (omega-9, 55-65%): a soft, melting emollient that closely resembles human sebum in its overall composition.
• Lipid profile similar to mature human sebum: the combination of palmitoleic acid + oleic acid makes it the VO closest to adult human sebum, which explains its rapid absorption and excellent tolerance.
• Silky, penetrating feel: light, silky, absorbs quickly. Less dry than jojoba, less heavy than avocado. The perfect balance for daily care.
• Natural aftershave care: a few drops on the skin after shaving to soothe and nourish without weighing it down.
• 50ml: Organic Ecocert. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

Why is palmitoleic acid special for mature skin?
Palmitoleic acid (omega-7) is naturally present in human sebum. Its production decreases with age, contributing to the loss of suppleness and tone in mature skin. Macadamia VO, very rich in palmitoleic acid, is one of the only plant sources that allows it to be provided via topical application.

What is the difference between macadamia and sweet almond oil?
Both are light and well-tolerated. Macadamia is richer in palmitoleic acid (16-22% vs. 0-1% for sweet almond), making it the preferred choice for mature skin. Sweet almond oil is more versatile and economical for the body. For targeted mature facial skincare: macadamia.

Can macadamia be used as a makeup remover?
Yes, its lightness and skin tolerance make it a good natural makeup remover. Less dry than jojoba, slightly more emollient, it is well-suited for normal to dry skin for makeup removal.
