Macadamia Oil

INCI name : Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil 
Specification :    60% oleic acid       
Botanical name : Macadamia integrifolia 
Characteristics and Application :   
Macadamia oil (or Macadamia nut oil) is the non-volatile oil expressed from the nut meat of the macadamia tree. Macadamia oil is sometimes used in food as a frying or salad oil, and in cosmetic formulations as an emollient or fragrance fixative.
Macadamia oil is liquid at room temperature. The refined oil is clear, lightly amber-colored with a slightly nutty odour. It is possible to refine it to complete transparency, but the faint odour of macadamia nuts remains.
Uses in cosmetics :
Macadamia oil's rich, cushiony skinfeel and high oxidative stability make it especially suitable for heavy creams and suncare formulations. Derivatives of Macadamia oil in cosmetics include the light emollient Ethyl Macadamiate and water soluble PEG-16 Macadamia Glycerides.
Macadamia oil is an excellent botanical replacement for mink oil in most applications.
