The power of plants
Native to the tropical forests of Australia, the macadamia tree can reach around 15m in height and its bright green, evergreen leaves are popular for their ornamental value. It produces a nut whose edible creamy-white seed has a delicate flavour.
Skincare benefits Organic macadamia oil
In cosmetics, the organic macadamia oil obtained from the macadamia nut, high in a very rare fatty acid very similar to sebum, is used to nourish and protect the skin and the lips.
Responsible sourcing
Protecting the soil and biodiversity is a longstanding commitment at Clarins. That’s why we have always given priority to plant-based active ingredients sourced from organic agriculture, grown using sustainable farming methods that respect nature and the health of the soil. Our macadamia oil is organically-certified and obtained using a natural and environmentally-friendly extraction process.
