Aromatherapy with Macadamia oil Carrier Oil

Aromatherapy with Macadamia oil Carrier Oil

Macadamia integrifolia: This tree is native to Australia. Also known as Queensland nut oil, this cold pressed oil is high in palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that acts as an antioxidant, preventing deterioration of cell membranes. For mature skin it is hydrating and gentle. It is a skin lubricant and is easily absorbed by the skin, sometimes described as a vanishing oil. Helpful in cases of sunburn and wound healing.
