Macadamia nut oil
Description
Macadamia nut oil (CAS 438545-25-6) is a premium plant-derived oil pressed from the kernels of Macadamia integrifolia or M. tetraphylla. It functions as a moisturizing agent, emollient, and lubricant across food, personal care, and industrial formulation markets.
In personal care, it is used as a skin-conditioning base in facial oils, lip balms, hair serums, and massage products. Its dry, non-greasy skin feel supports premium positioning for high-end cosmetic brands and dermatological applications.
Food manufacturers incorporate it as a specialty culinary oil and functional ingredient in dressings, confectionery coatings, and nutritional supplements. It provides a stable profile for various food processing requirements and flavor enhancement.
In coatings and adhesives, it serves as a bio-based plasticizing or lubricating component where renewable raw material sourcing is a requirement. This makes it an ideal choice for companies focusing on sustainable chemical alternatives.
Contract formulators also use it as a carrier oil in encapsulation and delivery systems for active ingredients. Its high stability and compatibility with other lipids make it a versatile medium for complex chemical formulations.
The oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. Standard grades include food-grade (FCC-compliant), cosmetic-grade, and cold-pressed variants, with refined and unrefined options available depending on specific application needs.
Bulk supply is typically offered in drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) to meet industrial demand. Our logistics network ensures consistent quality and timely delivery for large-scale manufacturing operations worldwide.
