Macadamia Nut Oil to Keep Your Skin Supple

Macadamia Nut Oil is one of the many natural skin care oils serious home spa afficionado's are turning towards over commercial products with long, unreadable ingredient lists. If your skin is feeling dry or dehydrated, or even if it is cracked in some places, try Certified Organic Macadamia Nut Oil for your moisturizing needs.

Why Choose Macadamia Nut Oil Over Synthetic Cosmetics?

Have you ever read the labels on the backs of the synthetically formulated cosmetics in stores? Do you understand what you are reading? It's all meaningless jargon to most people, and could only really be understood by a chemist. Mass-manufacturers of cosmetics are counting on this because many of these ingredients can be hazardous at best and downright toxic at worst. 

Some of them are chemicals designed to improve the absorption of the product into your skin by rupturing the skin cell membranes.  Sure, this enables the active ingredients of the commercial product to penetrate into the lower layers of your skin, and even farther in some cases, but it also exposes your skin to attack by pollutants such as pesticides and traffic emissions, by bacteria and viruses and, worst of all, by carcinogens, many of which your skin would be able to repel under normal circumstances.

Some of these skin preparations can therefore create conditions that can seriously compromise your health and well-being - in some cases even going as far as to cause the very skin conditions they claim to help alleviate. This is not funny, and something should be done about it, but nothing ever will be due to the amount of money used in the commercial skin care industry.

However, you can do something about it personally by refusing to come into contact with these substances and using completely natural skin care products such as macadamia nut oil.

The Benefits of Macadamia Nut Oil for Skin

Macadamia nut oil offers you all that you need in a skin care product, including strong antioxidant properties that protect your skin from environmental pollutants such as tobacco and traffic fumes, and also protects your skin from the free radicals produced by the ultraviolet radiation contained in sunlight.

Macadamia nut oil contains a high concentration of palmitic acid, a natural component of human skin that helps to maintain good epidermal moisture levels.  Your natural palmitic acid levels reduce with increasing age, so macadamia nut oil is ideal for those with drying mature skin, particularly aging skin.

The oil is easily absorbed into your skin, and is available in many forms including creams, bath oils, and massage oils, and can be emulsified in the form of lotions. It has a natural affinity for human skin oil, or sebum, so it is ideal for skin care. It is not the only such natural oil, of course, and each has its own particular characteristics.  The main feature of this oil is its moisturizing effect, in that it tends to hold moisture so that it can be released when needed.This makes it wonderful in natural soaps!

Many natural oils and butters can be used to care for your skin naturally, but if yours is dry and perhaps cracks easily, as some do, then macadamia nut oil would be a good choice to help keep your skin hydrated and supple.
