Marvelous macadamia nut oil

So I wanted to take the time to discuss one of my favorite oils - macadamia nut oil. I've been using this on both my hair and my face for awhile now and love the results! The oil comes from, you guessed it, macadamia nuts and has many great skin benefits. It is easily and quickly absorbed by the skin and does not clog pores or leave a greasy feeling behind. Instead, it leaves a velvety smooth finish and makes for an excellent moisturizer for all skin types. Macadamia oil also contains a very high amount of palmitoleic acid - the highest concentration of any plant. This acid is found in abundance in the skin of younger folks, but steadily decreases as we age, leading to the formation of wrinkles and an aged appearance. Using macadamia oil may help replenish this compound, thus helping to maintain a more youthful appearance. And lastly, this oil contains a high amount of vitamin E which offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits along with giving the oil a long shelf life. You can use the oil by itself or reap it's benefits when found in lotions and body balms. Look for this ingredient in a future product that is soon to be announced at BareNaked Balms. You can also find it in our Après Sun balm. Now go get beautiful!
