- Cold pressed oil extraction is a strenuous job where the dried Macadamia nuts are cold pressed with a bladder press or a hydraulic press to maintain the nutrients in the natural oil. Macadamia nuts actually contain a significant amount of monounsaturated fats that break down with heat which is why they are cold pressed. Macerated Macadamia oil on the other hand, can be made at home by infusing the nuts in a carrier oil (macerating) such as Jojoba oil. It's made by soaking the dried macadamia nuts in a clean glass mason jar with a neutral oil such as Jojoba oil in the sun for 4-6 weeks and shaking the jar every day. After that period, the nuts are strained from the oil for the finished product.
- Macadamia Nut oil is loaded with essential fatty acids and is ideal used in topical body care applications. As a massage oil or skin oil, it can be applied directly on the skin or blended with essential oils to enhance its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. As a massage oil, Macadamia Nut oil assists with fighting free radicals and oxidative stress due to its antioxidant properties.
- Like many other plant oils filled with Oleic and Linoleic acid and other essential fatty acids, Macadamia Nut oil is rich in antioxidant squalene and other nutrients for hair care that can hydrate dry and brittle hair. To stimulate hair growth, so that it grows stronger and with more vitality, massage a small amount into the fingertips and lightly apply to hair strands and to scalp and roots of hair. Brush into hair with a wooden comb to spread it evenly over hair. Leave in the hair for 20-30 minutes and wash out with shampoo.
- It falls in the range of 2-3 on the comedogenic scale, meaning that most people will be able to tolerate this oil without it clogging pores. Similar to Jojoba oil it closely matches our skin's natural sebum. It contains Vitamin E, Squalene and Oleic acid which assist with cell regeneration and beneficial for mature skin as well as those with dry skin, skin irritation and chapped skin. Other components help it reduce itchiness and redness as well as heal minor wounds and burns.
- Both Macadamia Nut oil and Argan oil are incredibly similar in their constituent properties but each has different amounts. To break it down and understand each property, you can then understand which carrier oil would be best for your skin. Both oils contain Oleic acid which is used to hydrate and lock in moisture with Macadamia having 60% to Argans 43%; Linoleic Acid (aka Vitamin F), provides moisture and adds “plumpness”, Macadamia has a mere 1-2% where Argan has 37%. Argan oil contains 12% of Palmitic acid compared to Macadamias 1-3%. Palmitic acid acts as an emollient that softens skin and helps it retain moisture; It also inhibits melanin production and can reduce hyperpigmentation.
