Macadamia Oil Treatments |
Macadamia Oil TreatmentsMacadamia Oil Treatments: (or Macadamia nut oil) is the non-volatile oil expressed from the nut meat of the macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) tree.
Macadamia oil contains approximately 60% oleic acid, 19% palmitoleic acid, 1-3% Linoleic acid and 1-2% Linolenic acid. Some varieties contain roughly equal omega-6 and omega-3. The oil's fatty acid profile is not greatly influenced by environmental factors. It is also very stable due to its low polyunsaturated fat content.
Macadamia oil's have a thicker, cushiony skin-feel, richer constancy. Because it feels a litter thicker than most other hair oils so it is often blended with other oils to avoid weighting down the hair. It is characteristically a highly sable and resistant to oxidation. This make macadamia oil especially suitable for skin care creams and sun care formulations. The water soluble ingredient PEG-16 Macadamia Glycerides are often seen on product ingredient lists. Macadamia Oil is an excellent botanical replacement for mink oil just as Jojoba Oil is an excellent replacement for whale oil.
Macadamia Oils are blended into both Macadamia Natural Oil Treatments (contains both Argan oil and Macadamia oil) and Paul Brown Hawaii Kukui Nut Oil Treatment (contains both Kukui nut oil and Macadamia nut oil).
The human body can produce all but two of the fatty acids it needs. These two, linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (LNA), are widely available in plant oils. Both of the are available in hair oil products see our Hair Oil Information.
