Macadamia nuts, grown in places like Central America and New Zealand, have a creamy texture and a mild flavour.
Thanks to their high healthy fat, fibre, vitamin and mineral content, they can improve digestion and cardiovascular health and can help manage weight and blood sugar levels. Rich in flavonoids, they also help to counter inflammation and reduce cholesterol.
Macadamia oil is a popular ingredient in haircare treatments: it helps strengthen the hair, makes it softer, makes curly hair easier to manage and helps prevent frizz, although it is not recommended before using heat-based styling tools.
Macadamia oil contains squalane making it ideal for skin care. It promotes healthy, moisturised skin. It is rich in fatty acids and also helps the skin to produce keratin, repair scars and stretch marks and reduce itching. Thanks to its antioxidant power, it helps prevent premature skin ageing.
