Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia) Oil
Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia) Oil
Macadamia oil is a fixed plant oil used mainly as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It is prized for its rich, cushiony feel and excellent spreadability, and it is often used in moisturizers, body oils, balms, hair products, and massage formulas. Its fatty-acid profile is dominated by monounsaturated lipids, giving it a nourishing, barrier-softening profile.

Risks & Warnings
Usually well tolerated, but it can occasionally contribute to breakouts in very acne-prone users because it is a richer emollient oil. Botanical oil allergy is possible, and oxidized oil may be more irritating. Because it is derived from a tree nut, use extra caution in people with known macadamia allergy, especially on compromised skin.
