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. This oil has a long shelf life and good resistance to rancidity. It also has a mild laxative action. Macadamia nut oil contains about 80% monounsaturated fatty acids and a higher percentage of palmitoleic acid than other vegetable oils. Palmitoleic acid does not occur in any other plant oil. SAP value: 195.0. INCI: Macadamia integrifolia (Macadamia nut) seed oil.
At 3%, macadamia oil is the lowest of all culinary oils in polyunsaturated Omega 6 fatty acids (olive oil=8%, canola=23%). Excessive Omega 6 Fatty Acids may have an adverse impact on blood clotting, immune function & inflammation. Monounsaturates tend to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels but do not change HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Polyunsaturates lower both. Macadamia oil is 55-67% oleic acid. Oleic acid apparently increases the incorporation of omega-3 fatty acids into cell membranes. This oil is low in saturated fat (approximately 14%, of which roughly 26% is benign Stearic acid). Because of its high smoke point and monounsaturated level, Macadamia oil is least likely to develop the unhealthful trans fatty acids and lipid peroxides when heated. Can be used for stir-fry because of its very high smoke point 410�F. (Depending on quality and age, olive oil breaks down at less than 325�̊). Macadamia oil has a very long shelf life due to the high natural levels of monounsaturates (that limit the points where oxygen can attack) and antioxidants (that restrict oxidation).

I had bought Macadamia Oil in a cooking store before and used it to cook with. I now wonder what I was getting. The oil I purchased here is thinner and absorbs into my skin and hair much quicker. This is an amazing oil for the price. I thought only a few oils absorbed into the hair. I was wrong. I see other oils I want to try now. I'll be more careful where I buy my oils now. Lesson learned.

I've made a whipped body butter with mango butter and some macadamia nut oil that is wonderful for winter -- extremely emollient -- and yet the macadamia nut oil renders it not too greasy.

I hadn't heard of this oil before, but it worked absolutely wonderfully as a replacement for jojoba oil in my recipes. I also used it for infusions.

Wow! Macadamia Oil isn't just great for your skin and hair. The high smoke point and mild flavor make Macadamia Oil perfect for cooking. It adds just a bit of mild, nutty flavor to popcorn and doesn't overwhelm stir-fries with a heavy, oily taste. I will be ordering again.

Hands down, this is my absolute FAVORITE liquid oil to use in CP soap! When my previous supply of macadamia oil ran out, I reformulated my recipe with olive oil as a replacement and was truly surprised by the stark difference in the quality of the finished product. Used at a rate of approximately 17%, macadamia oil yielded a noticeably harder, smoother, longer-lasting bar with a more buttery texture and a luxuriously rich lather. Yes, it is pricier than many of the customary soapmaking oils, but I can assure you that it produces CP soap of INCOMPARABLE quality. Try it and be "spoiled" for life!

Was very pleased with this oil. I was afraid of it smelling like nuts but pleased that it wasn't. I am looking forward to using this in a body butter. I am a very pleased customer.

The oil color is a beautiful golden brown. It provides the right balance of moisture on both my hair and skin. I add it to a spray bottle with 1/4 oil and 3/4 distilled water and use it to mist my natural hair. I use it on my toddlers natural hair with very good results - minimal tangles with a light hair sheen. Very reasonably priced through Camden. This is a staple I'll continue to order from Candem.

I was searching for an oil to add to my hair regimen and after doing some research I stumbled across this oil. Camden-Grey has the best prices I've found. This oil does wonders for my hair. It very light and not greasy.
