For adults: Ethyl Macadamiate is a moisturizing ingredient used in creams and lotions. It is generally very safe and unlikely to cause harm for adult skin.
Use products that list Ethyl Macadamiate as usual on intact skin. Do a small patch test (apply a tiny amount on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours) if you have sensitive skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, ask your healthcare provider, though the safety notes show low concern for reproductive effects.
The ingredient safety database used for this review shows low concern overall, but this ingredient is made from macadamia nut oil esters. If you have a tree nut allergy, avoid or patch test carefully and talk with your doctor before using. Stop use and seek medical care if you get redness, swelling, itching, or trouble breathing. Keep products out of reach of children.
