Organic Macadamia Nut Oil – Beauty Oil from Down Under

INCI name: Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Typical cultivation area: Australia

Talent: Protects and cares for dry skin

This powerful nut has it all: In its native Australia, its precious oil has long been used by the Aborigines as a popular food and skin care oil. The macadamia tree loves the tropical warm climate in Australia and is very demanding of its environment. The limited cultivation area and the elaborate harvesting process make macadamia nuts the most expensive nuts in the world. Its good absorption and high fat content make macadamia oil a popular beauty oil, which lavera Natural Beauty naturally does not want to do without.

Queen of Nuts – A True Diva

The macadamia tree is native to the rainforests of Queensland, among other places, but is now also cultivated in New Zealand, South Africa, Africa, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. The evergreen tree can grow up to 15 m tall and produces chestnut-like stone fruits. It only bears its first fruits after 10 years. At first glance, harvesting seems quite simple – the ripe fruits, which contain the valuable kernels, simply fall from the tree and are then collected by the harvesters. But anyone who thinks that’s all there is to it is mistaken. To get to the kernel, the delicious macadamia nut, you need time and patience. The shell of the macadamia nut is so hard that it must be dried for a long time before cracking until it becomes porous. Only then can the kernel be revealed.

A true treasure: High-quality organic macadamia nut oil

lavera Natural Beauty uses the power of this special nut for natural beauty care. Especially the fine, light yellow oil, which is obtained by gentle cold pressing, is of particular importance for skin care.

It spreads well on the skin and absorbs quickly due to its high content of palmitoleic acid.
