PSA: Macadamia nuts don't just belong in a delicious cookie. They’re both a delicious snack and great for your skin! When it comes to skincare oils, most are familiar with coconut or argan. But next time you're shopping for the perfect oil to add to your routine, think about macadamia oil.
These Hawaiian nuts are a skincare regime superhero, having become a recent ingredient in many products. While macadamia oil has many health benefits, like boosted energy or improved heart health, it is also great on a surface level. Read on to find out how your skin can benefit from using this multi-purpose oil!
Gives you silky smooth skin
Hawaii has blessed us with one of nature's most precious treasures: the macadamia nut. The oil contains oleic acid, a skincare ally that makes your skin feel as smooth as Adele's soulful voice. The high levels of oleic oil keep skin supple while the fatty acids soften.
Intensely hydrates your skin
Another acid in macadamia oil is linoleic acid. The primary function of linoleic acid's rejuvenating qualities is restoring the skin's barrier, preventing water loss, infiltration of toxins, and environmental damage. The lightweight formula is non-greasy and makes an excellent choice for dry and mature skin types.
Brings out your youthful glow
Rich in different fatty acids and vitamin E, your skin quickly reaps the macadamia oil benefits without leaving you an oily mess. These ingredients lock in moisture and mimic your skin's natural oils, allowing you to maintain your natural, youthful glow.
Boosts Antioxidant levels
Antioxidants can prevent or slow damage to cells by fighting off free radicals from the sun's harmful UV rays or smoke. Palmitoleic and squalene, commonly sourced from shark livers, in macadamia nut oil prevents skin cell damage by preventing lipid peroxidation. These properties minimize stressed skin by regulating liquid in the cell membranes essential for maintaining our skin's health.
