    Cosmetics

    Macadamia nut oil is a popular raw ingredient in the cosmetic industry. It contains a large amount of palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid, which makes it especially beneficial for dry and sensitive skin. Macadamia nut oil also makes an excellent haircare product: it restores a healthy sheen to dull, coarse ends.

    Food
