On a previous Hot thread about silicones I posted that ethyl macadamiate was being used successfully as a natural alternative to silicones in cosmetic products. I was asked if I knew of any products that currently use ethyl macadamiate.
The "Skin Deep" website has ethyl macadamiate listed. Note: it is also listed as a very safe raw material. Click on this link and go to the page. It will list "products that the raw material is used in". You can click on these product categories and find some brands that use ethyl macadamiate. Just keep clicking further and further into the category type until you reach the ingredients list. Read through the list to make sure ethyl mac is there....and then....you have found your consumer products!

John,
I currently use a C serum that is in an anhydrous silicone base. Would products made with the ethyl macadamiate be anhydrous? I imagine it would depend on the other ingredients though....
So I guess what I am asking is, are the ethyl macadamiates anhydrous?
Thanks. |

Yes, it is anhydrous, being made from an oil....Macadamia Oil. There is no water in this material, nor is it water soluble.
