Macadamia Nut Oils
Refined Macadamia Nut Oil
Oil obtained from mature Macadamia nuts. It typically contains 53–67% oleic acid and 16–24% palmitoleic acid. Refining reduces odour, flavour, colour, acidity and impurities, producing a more neutral, stable and versatile oil for industrial formulations. Its main uses are in cosmetics, moisturisers, hair products, massage and restorative formulations.
