Macadamia is native to north-east Australia. The name is a tribute to the Scottish-born Australian botanist John Macadam, who botanically classified the plant in the 19th century. Aborigines have known and consumed the nut for at least 5,000 years. They called it bauple, gyndi, jindilli or even boombera. They traded them with the first white colonists. The nut is highly nutritious and contains a significant amount of protein. Most of the oil is now produced in Costa Rica and Hawaii.
Macadamia vegetable oil is extremely rich in cosmetic benefits. Not only is it a perfect base for massage, but its 'dry' texture means it is quickly absorbed by the skin. Macadamia oil nourishes, soothes, softens and repairs the skin. Quite similar to sweet almond oil, macadamia oil lends itself particularly well to aromatic blends with essential oils.
