Origin
Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil is extracted from Macadamia nuts - native to Australia - through a cold-pressing or expeller-pressing process. First, the raw macadamia nuts are shelled and then mechanically pressed to extract the oil without the use of heat, preserving its nutritional profile and beneficial properties. The extracted oil is then filtered to remove any impurities, resulting in a high-quality oil.
