Skin & ageing
Your skin didn't just get drier.
It stopped making the oil it needs.When your skin barrier weakens, the effects go well beyond the surface. Skin is your body's largest organ and its first line of defence. When it's maintained well, that shows too. What's changed isn't your routine. It's your skin's biology, and what you put on it needs to change with it.
What's happening
It started in your 20s. You just didn't feel it yet.
Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) in macadamia oil
Decline starts in your 40s. By 60, more than half is already gone.
Sebum production peaks in your 20s and declines from then on. Decline starts in your 40s. By 60, most people have already lost more than half the oil their skin produces naturally. The barrier weakens, skin gets thinner, tears more easily. Macadamia oil contains 17-22% omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), the same fatty acid your skin produces naturally.
Most moisturisers address dryness. Mac Pure addresses the underlying cause. There is a significant difference between adding moisture to the surface and replacing the oil your skin barrier has lost. Skin that is genuinely rebuilt, not just coated, is better equipped to protect the body against the chronic, low-grade stress of barrier failure.

The time to address skin barrier decline is before the damage compounds. Research consistently shows that the benefits of forward-looking care, taken before the decline becomes severe, are far greater than reactive intervention. Starting in your 50s, not your 70s, is when it matters most.
Why macadamia oil
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 less of with each passing decade. Restore+ delivers it in a rich formulation designed for skin that has been significantly depleted. Not a coating on the surface. A structural match for what was there before.
Macadamia oil alone sits on the surface. Restore+ is a formulation. The cream is designed to carry omega-7 into the barrier where it is needed, and delivers supporting ingredients including allantoin that a pure oil cannot. The oil matters. What surrounds it matters just as much.

Barrier replacement
Integrates into the barrier structure, not just the surface
The skin on my arms had gone that thin, the smallest knock would tear it. Bumping the bench, catching a chair, it didn't matter. That's stopped since I started on Restore+.
I've tried a lot of things over the years. This is the one I've kept buying.
Used in clinical settings
Stocked by Australian aged care facilities, hospitals, and the practitioners you already see
Aged care facilities and hospitals use Mac Pure as part of the twice-daily emollient moisturiser protocol shown in Australian research to reduce skin tear incidence in elderly residents by approximately 50%. (An emollient is a moisturiser that replaces the skin's lost natural oils, rather than just adding water.)
Skin that is doing its job is visible. It looks different, it feels different, and what it does for the rest of your body matters more than most people realise.
Intensive barrier care
Restore+
250g / 100g
Formulated around macadamia oil, which delivers the omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) your skin produces less of with every decade. Restore+ is the intensive formula, developed for skin that has been significantly depleted. Richer than a daily lotion, designed to go deeper than standard moisturisers can.
For daily maintenance alongside intensive care, Calm+ is also available.
