Palmitoleic acid also aids in skin health. The acid hydrates the surface and stimulates healing. As skin ages, the amount of natural palmitoleic oil the skin produces dramatically decreases, resulting in aging spots and wrinkles. To see long-term benefits in your skin, regularly apply macadamia nut oil by rubbing it directly on the skin.
