Beautifying Skin From the Inside

My motto is “what goes on goes in” and this is certainly true for macadamia nut oil, containing all those beneficial fatty acids.

Whenever you consume this oil, you are giving yourself a real health and beauty boost.

Oleic acid protects your heart from disease and reduces cholesterol levels.

The fact that the oil is low in saturated fat and rich in the all important mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids, is what makes it so heart healthy.

Macadamia nut oil contains the perfect ratio of essential fatty acids, that are not naturally created by the body.

Omega 3 fatty acids are an anti-inflammatory, whilst omega 6 work as a pro-inflammatory, which is why it is a great oil for those who suffer from sensitive skin conditions.

This is why applying macadamia nut oil topically and taking it internally, will help achieve that crucial essential fatty acid balance, your diet requires for health.

Palmitoleic acid is a potent antioxidant known to support healthy cell membranes, hydrating the skin and supporting skin healing.

 

THE NAKED TRUTH

So just to recap, the beneficial fatty acid profile, of this all-important oil, are as follows:

  • Oleic acid is a moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, making it perfect for a dry, sensitive skin types

  • Linoleic acid restores the skin’s barrier function and keeps skin hydrated

  • Palmitoleic Acid is extremely healing and repairing

  • Phytosterols act as penetration enhancers, delivering the important benefits to the deepest layers of your skin

  • It contains the perfect 1-to-1 ratio of essential fatty acids, making it essential for heart health

So as you can see, it provides all the building blocks necessary for your skin.

So go on I dare you to smear it in, and feel the oh so wholesome macadamia nut love.

Why Argan Oils?

  1. arganOil Liquid Gold with Magical Benefits!

  2. In Morocco, argan oil is widely used in cooking, especially by Berbers. Across Morocco, argan oil is a treasured delicacy, but more accessible to Berbers because the trees are grown in their region (the same as people in Maine treasure their lobsters but can get them more cheaply). ARGAN OIL Plant Oil produced from the Kernels of argan tree (Argania spinosa L.) endemic to Morocco.

  3. In the past, the prospect of collecting the argan nuts from the rocky mountainous terrain, loading them onto packs for mule transport, then breaking the nuts, (and roasting them if for eating), grinding them, extracting the oil, and bottling it was very arduous and time- consuming; one liter took her about 30-35 hours to make. She would then walk a long distance with the oil to barter in the village for other needed supplies. Thus, argan oil didn’t develop into a “big business” for the Berber women who produced it, until recently. In pages of history…

  4. Traditional Method of Argan Oil production

  5. Now, however, because of foreign popularity, Berber women have organized themselves to create small but sustainable businesses. Now a days… !! The Moroccan government has also recognized the benefit of argan to Berber women and the economy and has begun planting new argan trees to compensate for past tree destruction and to prevent desertification. As with almost any other product, the old-fashioned way of production, while labor- intensive, is the only proper way to create genuine argan oil !!
