Production of palmitoleic acid, an Omega-7 fatty acid, declines in the skin as age progresses. Luckily, Macadamia Nut Oil provides abundance of palmitoleic acid as well as other oleic, and omega-9 fatty acids. This creates an effective antioxidant protecting the skin’s cell membranes from free radical damage. In addition, recent research is supporting that palmitoleic acid can be an effective anti-microbial on the skins surface. Macadamia Nuts also contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids that are known to effectively provide extra nourishment and moisture for dry or mature skin.Very Similar to Olive oil, Macadamia Nut oil is rich with antioxidants and is especially high in vitamin E. Vitamin E improves the appearance of scars, tones the skin, and prevents stretch marks. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects your cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. Macadamia Nut oil can be used as an excellent lip soother. Because it is so similar to the oil produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands, Macadamia Nut oil both soothes and protects the skin.

This particular butter is very rich and smooth, and is popular in products that help to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Aids with the rehydration of dry or, more specifically, mature skin. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of zinc, a mineral that has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe sensitive skin and may be able to prevent facial acne, according to some studies. The endosperm, which is the layer between the seed and its shell, contains the most amount of zinc, so in order to get the best results it’s important that you eat both the seed and the shell as the endosperm is usually ripped away from the seed when it is shelled. Pumpkin seed oil is a natural moisturizer that heals any type of skin, no matter how dry. Certain moisturizers contain pumpkin seed butter, which is non-greasy and absorbs quickly while eating away at the dead skin cells, leaving behind soft new skin. It’s no secret that vitamin C is an immune-system booster, but what you may not realize is that vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant.
It fights free radicals, stimulates the production of collagen and can help reduce the appearance of scars. But vitamin C isn’t the only skin-friendly antioxidant found in pumpkins. Beta-carotene, which is also found in carrots, protects skin cells from degeneration and is a cancer-fighter as well. The amino acids and the fatty acids found in pumpkins can strengthen broken or damaged strands and add an overall shine to your hair. Plus, it will make your hair smell fantastic.
