I agree with you. I have found that good macadamia oil is very beneficial to skin. I use Mac Nut Oil from Australia, sometimes labeled as Dr. Pescatore's brand. It comes in a thin bottle with flat edges and a square shape. Some other companies have much cheaper, but this tastes the best IMO. I just eat a spoon full or so every day straight from the bottle. Macadamia is one of the best sources of palmitoleic acid, a MUFA in the skin. It has around 20% palmitoleic, 60% oleic, 18% SFAs, and 2% PUFAs (some have 3-4%).

Macadamia is probably the best food for building up Mead Acid and reducing Arachidonic Acid overload. Next best is fatty liver (foie gras), high-oleic sunflower oil, beef fat, cocoa butter, beef suet, dairy butter, and then olive oil. |
