There has been a couple of posts related to Jojoba and Macadamia. I used to use Omega oil to balance my oil production. I've read somewhere on EDS that jojoba was used to get rid of blackheads!
Which oil is the best? |

skincare, I no longer get acne breakouts [thank god] but I am prone to clogged pores and jojoba oil is absolutely!! the best cleansing oil for acne prone skin. It's least likely to clog and since its a wax that closely resembles the sebum that can lead to acne, when you massage it into your face it actually MELTS the plugs residing in your pores.
I take omega supplements but have never tried it on my face, I would think it may be too rich, but I'll be interested in hearing what others have to say.
Macademia is yummy, but I don't use it on my oily girl face; reserve it instead for drier neck and hands. |

CARRIER/FIXED OIL PROFILES:
MACADAMIA NUT OIL
Macadamia nut oil is a very stable oil because of its mono-unsaturated nature. The high content of palmitoleic acid also makes macadamia nut oil an effective anti-oxidant. It is suitable for all skin types but is particularly good for dry or mature skin because of its high percentage of palmitoleic acid. The palmitoleic acid protects the skin just like human sebum does. It penetrates and hydrates the skin quickly making it an ideal ingredient in lotions, creams, balms, massage oils and bath oils.
JOJOBA OIL
Although jojoba is generally categorized with vegetable oils, jojoba is actually a liquid wax. Jojoba offers the traits of both an oil and a wax to make it an ideal ingredient within soap, cream, lotion, balm and massage oil formulations. It is highly penetrating and closely resembles the natural sebum within our skin. Use jojoba in facial blends to remove excess oils and to help balance the skin's natural oil. Jojoba contains a natural anti-inflammatory called myristic acid and is useful in formulations for arthritis and rheumatism. It has natural anti-oxidant properties and is said to help extend the shelf life of other oils. In cold process soap making, it is very good to use as a superfatting agent since it resists rancidity. Jojoba is wonderful carrier for aromatherapy applications and is suitable for use as a perfume base. It also makes an excellent hair conditioner. Our jojoba is pressed only once from the seeds. Minimum pressure is used to obtain a finer quality oil. It is then pasteurized and filtered.
