Magic of Macadamia

I went to university in Lismore, New South Wales, Australia. We lived in Rosebank, not far from Dunoon, Macadamia Capital of Australia. There were plantations all over the countryside and it was here that I first learned about macadamias, which is to say, like alot of things Australian, was contradictory to everything I'd previously known.

The first commercial orchard was planted near where I went to school in the early 1880's by Charles Staff. I always thought that macadamias came from Hawaii as they established commercial production so successfully. However, in 2008, macadamia production in Hawaii slipped to a 26-year low. Macadamia nuts are indigenous to Australia and were discovered by John Macadam.

I have been importing Australian macadamia oil and incorporating it into my massage which in turn compelled me to begin Boomerang Botanicals.  I like to mix it with horse chestnut to promote circulation.
Macadamia oil is regenerative, skin conditioning and anti-aging. This oil is high in palmitoleic acid, nearly identical to the skins' own natural emollients. This is unique ingredient isn't found in any other known plant oil.
