Managing a health condition
Diabetes changed your skin.
Here's the part nobody explains.The persistent dryness. The tightness that doesn't respond to anything. Products you've used for years no longer doing what they did. That's not ordinary dry skin, and more moisturiser won't solve it. Here's why, and what actually will.
What's happening
Your condition disrupted your skin's oil production.
Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) in macadamia oil
Diabetes reduces the function of the glands that make your skin's own oil.
Nerve and circulation changes from long-term diabetes affect the sebaceous glands. The barrier loses its primary fatty acid, and standard moisturisers can't replace it. Macadamia oil contains 17-22% omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), the same fatty acid your skin produces naturally.

Your skin already knows this oil.
Macadamia oil is one of the richest plant sources of omega-7 (palmitoleic acid). Unlike sea buckthorn, it's skin-tone neutral and absorbs cleanly, making it the only practical choice for a daily leave-on formulation. It's the same fatty acid found naturally in the oil your skin produces itself. When your body can no longer make it reliably, macadamia oil replenishes exactly what the barrier has lost. Not a coating on the surface. A structural match for what was there.

Barrier replacement
Integrates into the barrier structure, not just the surface
The skin on my heels was so dry it felt tight all the time. Three weeks on this and the tightness has gone.
Eleven years with Type 2 and my shins have been cracking for the last two. Tried everything from the chemist. My podiatrist put me onto this and it's the only thing that's worked.
