PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Refined Macadamia Carrier Oil is a premium botanical ingredient cold pressed from the nuts of Macadamia integrifolia and carefully refined to reduce its natural colour and aroma. Rich in palmitoleic acid (omega-7) and oleic acid, it provides excellent emollient properties that help soften, moisturize, and condition skin and hair.
Its lightweight texture, easy absorption, and nearly odourless profile make it ideal for facial serums, moisturizers, body lotions, massage oils, and haircare formulations. With good oxidative stability and a smooth, non-greasy finish, Refined Macadamia Oil is a versatile ingredient for professional cosmetic manufacturing.

- Body Lotions & Creams: Incorporate approximately 5–50% into suitable body care formulations to enhance emollience, spreadability, and skin conditioning.
- Massage Oils & Body Blends: Use approximately 10–100% as a massage oil or blend with other carrier oils to provide smooth glide and a lightweight, conditioning finish.
