MACADAMIA NUT OIL

タイトルまたは説明

This high quality specialty is cold-pressed from the Macadamia nut
(Macadamia ternifolia). The tasty nut is value din snacks and pastries. The Macadamia nut tree is
native to Australia (Australia hazelnut).  The pressed oil is distinguished by its mild nutty taste,
odour, and light yellow colour. The full refining process renders a very light oil with neutral odour
and a substantially extended shelf-life. It is rich in Palmitoleic Acid c*6:1 which is bound to a natural
triglyceride and therefore easily absorbed into the upper skin layers and excellent in spreading properties.
Increasingly, Macadamia Nut Oil is used as a substitute for Mink Oil.
