Very few plant oils contain omega7 at this concentration apart from Sea Buckthorn fruit oil but because of its colour it may stain or give a yellowish tone to your skin care.
Macadamia oil also contains tocopherols and tocotrienols, the full spectrum of natural vitamin E as well as a small amount of squalene, a naturally occurring emollient.
