Macadamia integrifolia

Africa dominates macadamia.

South Africa is the world's leading producer of macadamia nuts, ahead of Australia, the historic cradle. Kenya is third, with 200,000 farmers on volcanic lands.

Kenya is third, with 200,000 farmers on volcanic lands. Folk Oils works directly with cooperatives and small farmers for a cold-pressed virgin oil whose palmitoleic acid (C16:1) is intact and documented per batch.

DIRECT PURCHASE · FOLK OILS IN KENYA

Folk Oils buys directly from Kenya

Cooperatives and small farmers in the Embu, Tharaka-Nithi and Kirinyaga regions, at the foot of Mount Kenya. No collector, no broker, no intermediary. The entire purchase price goes to the 200,000 Kenyan farmers who grow macadamia on the country's volcanic lands.

World macadamia market

South Africa produces approximately 95,500 tonnes per year (~20% of global production). Kenya produces 40,000 to 50,000 tonnes on the volcanic foothills of Mount Kenya. Together, these two countries represent more than 35% of global production, growing as orchards planted over the last ten years rea…

PALMITOLEIC ACID C16:1 · EXCLUSIVE SCIENTIFIC DIFFERENTIATOR

The molecule that only macadamia contains

Macadamia is the only vegetable oil rich in palmitoleic acid (C16:1, omega-7).

C16:1, other oils

Of all the common vegetable oils, only one contains a significant concentration of palmitoleic acid: macadamia oil, with 16 to 23% of its composition. Other oils contain less than 1%. This monounsaturated fatty acid with 16 carbon atoms is structurally identical to palmitoleic acid secreted by th…

Macadamia is the only vegetable oil whose composition resembles that of human sebum. It's not a marketing argument, it's biochemistry.

Macadamia vs other oils: an unrivaled profile

Palmitoleic acid is the natural anti-aging active ingredient in the “youth oil” segment in premium cosmetics. Its concentration in the skin decreases with age; virgin macadamia oil rich in C16:1 restores this deficit physiologically. Folk Oils allows you to source this active directly from Africa.
