About MACADAMIAMIDOPROPYL OLEATE

A silky-smooth emollient from macadamia oil that conditions skin and supports the skin barrier without feeling greasy.

Detailed Analysis

Macadamiamidopropyl Oleate is an amide ester derived from macadamia (Macadamia ternifolia) seed oil fatty acids, functioning as an emollient, humectant, and skin-protecting ingredient. It is not listed on any EU restriction annexes and is considered safe and well-tolerated. The ingredient's fatty acid profile (high in oleic and palmitoleic acid) closely resembles human sebum, making it exceptionally compatible with skin.
