Macadamia Oil

The LYA Macadamia oil is 100% pure, unrefined and cold-pressed. Macadamia oil is light and offers rich hydration. This makes it perfect for hydrating and moisturizing the skin and hair. This oil contains high levels of antioxidants which is great for all types of skin as it helps regenerate and moisturize. Macadamia oil is also rich in Oleic Acid which helps with promoting exceptional softening and smoothing properties, and thus it can inhibit wrinkles, iron them out and make skin radiant. This oil should be used for dry skin lacking elasticity, damaged or irritated by the sun. It's quickly absorbed and weightless. On the other hand, macadamia oil is also beneficial to the hair. This lightweight, non-greasy nutty oil makes it easier for hair to absorb it to add shine and vitality to your strands while coating your ends and keeping your scalp moisturised.

That high fatty acid content is the key to healthy, beautiful hair. The fatty acids contained in macadamia oil help add shine, strengthen, and nourish the hair follicles, which in turn fight off hair loss and brittle strands. Macadamia oil is great for calming the hair of frizz, tangles, and dullness. Macadamia oil helps restore moisture to the hair shaft, locks it in, and adds natural protein to the hair. Curly hair that’s properly moisturized is easier to untangle and style, so this oil is especially popular for curly hair and can make curly hair more manageable. As the macadamia oil is similar to human sebum, this allows the oil to control sebum glands and prevent excessive oil secretion. After treatment by using this oil, your hair is more elastic, velvety soft and full of radiant gloss. The LYA Macadamia oil is a perfect carrier oil for aromatherapy massage and bath oil preparations.
