The quiet achiever your skin already knows how to use.
Macadamia is the quiet achiever of skincare… It’s not the newest trend or the ‘flashiest’ ingredient, nor is it new to the skincare world, but it works harder and smarter than most.
Here are 5 reasons why it deserves a place in your ritual:
1. IT MIMICS YOUR SKIN'S OWN OILS
News flash! You can’t just put any old ingredient on your skin and expect your skin to recognise, absorb and actually use it. Macadamia oil though? It’s rich in palmitoleic acid (omega 7) which is a fatty acid naturally abundant in youthful skin but depletes with age. This makes it a skin-identical lipid, your skin instantly recognises it, drinks it in and uses it to repair and renew. It’s deep, lasting hydration without the greasiness.
Because of its unique composition, macadamia oil penetrates more deeply than many heavier oils. It doesn’t just sit on the surface; it sinks in to replenish lost lipids and strengthen the skin barrier, helping your skin lock in hydration for longer. This is especially important for midlife skin, when natural oil production slows and dryness becomes more pronounced.
2. IT'S PACKED WITH SUPER-NUTRIENTS
With a powerhouse blend of oleic acid, linoleic acid, squalene, vitamin E, and antioxidants, macadamia oil feeds your skin everything it needs to stay supple and resilient. It supports barrier function, softens rough patches and protects against everyday environmental stress.
3. SENSITIVE & IRRITATED SKIN'S BEST FRIEND
Being so rich in anti-inflammatory fatty acids, macadamia oil is incredible at calming redness, irritation and sensitivity. Its lightweight texture sinks in effortlessly, soothing without suffocating the skin. Whether your skin is naturally sensitive or reacting to seasonal dryness and inflammation, macadamia oil works quietly to restore balance and comfort.
4. IT PROTECTS AGAINST PREMATURE AGEING
Macadamia oil doesn’t just comfort your skin today, it helps protect it for tomorrow. Thanks to its high levels of antioxidants, it helps to shield against free radical damage that can lead to fine lines, loss of elasticity and uneven tone. It’s the oil that hydrates, restores, and defends all while keeping your skin stronger in the long run.
5. IT'S AN AUSTRALIAN NATIVE LUXURY
Macadamias are grown right here in Australia, the home of the world’s most premium nut. Whether on your plate or in your skincare, they’ve long been considered a luxury. By choosing macadamia oil, you’re not only indulging in a piece of Australian heritage, but also supporting local farmers who grow this remarkable crop.
Macadamia oil may not scream for the spotlight, but that’s exactly why we chose it as a hero of our new Skin Renewal Body Elixir. It’s understated, deeply effective and endlessly nurturing… A quiet achiever that restores suppleness and radiance.
