Macadamia Oil

Looking for a silky, refined Macadamia Oil for face, body and hair products? This pale to yellow-golden carrier oil (INCI: Macadamia ternifolia seed oil) is produced in Brazil and gives finished products a rich yet fast-absorbing slip with a soft sheen. It is offered in 16 oz, 32 oz and 1 gal sizes for small studios and growing brands alike.

What Macadamia Oil Is

Macadamia oil comes from the seeds (nuts) of the macadamia tree. The grade sold here is refined, natural and not certified organic. According to the current product text, it is rich in palmitoleic acid and contains vitamin E, and it sinks in quickly without a greasy feeling. Refining keeps the color light and the odor low, a plus when the finished product should carry its own fragrance.

Properties That Matter

Comfortable, cushiony emollience

Macadamia sits between light and rich oils: it feels nourishing on dry areas yet does not linger on the surface, which suits hand creams and body lotions used during the day.

Slip and shine for hair

Hair care brands like it for adding gloss and manageability to dry lengths in serums, masks and pre-shampoo oils.

Easy carrier for aromatics

It dilutes essential oils and oil-soluble extracts evenly and makes a pleasant base for scented body oils.

Applications

Common uses include facial oils, night creams, body butters and lotions, cuticle oils, massage blends, hair serums and conditioning masks. For a lighter, drier blend, mix it with jojoba oil from Argentina; for intense hair shine, combine it with argan oil. Compare all bases in the carrier oils department before planning your next line.

How to Use Macadamia Oil

For oil-only products, blend at room temperature and bottle. For creams and lotions, include macadamia in the oil phase, heat gently with other oil-phase ingredients if needed, and emulsify with a suitable emulsifier. Products containing water must be preserved and checked for stability. For more detail, read our guide DIY Recipes with Macadamia Oil: Body Butter and More.

Choosing the right pack

The 16 oz bottle is enough for several trial batches of creams or serums. The 32 oz size suits small brands with a steady product line, and the 1 gal container lowers the cost per ounce for workshops and spas that use macadamia as a main base oil.

Compatibility

Macadamia blends well with other plant oils, butters, waxes, vitamin E and essential oils. It is a good companion for apricot kernel oil in body oils that need a balanced, medium texture. It will not dissolve in water.

Recipe: Nourishing Cuticle Oil (30 g)

Using a pipette, fill into 10 ml roller or brush-cap bottles, which gives three units. Massage a drop into cuticles and nail edges every evening. The oil is anhydrous, so no preservative is needed; keep bottles closed between uses.

Storage

Store in a tightly closed container in a cool place protected from sunlight. Decant from a 1 gal pack into smaller bottles to reduce how often the main container is opened.

Order 16 oz to test your textures or a gallon to supply production, and give your products a luxurious macadamia touch.
