Meadowfoam Oil

What is Meadowfoam Oil?

Meadowfoam Oil is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the Limnanthes alba plant, known as "meadowfoam" in English. This plant is native to North America and is grown primarily in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. 

Its main active ingredients include fatty acids, especially eicosenoic acid, which is rare in other vegetable oils. This unique composition provides excellent stability and resistance to oxidation, which means that the oil does not go rancid easily and has a long shelf life.

It has become popular in the cosmetic and personal care industry due to its beneficial properties. It is found in various beauty products, from moisturizers and serums to lip balms and hair care products. It is especially popular in products intended to provide intense, long-lasting hydration.

Benefits:

Deep Hydration: Is known to provide deep and long-lasting hydration. Contributes to keeping the skin soft and supple.

Emollient Properties: Acts as an emollient. Helps soften the skin and seal in moisture.

Stability: Has a long shelf life and is resistant to oxidation, which helps maintain its properties for longer.

Unsaturated Fatty Acids: Contains unsaturated fatty acids, such as eicosenic acid, which contribute to its emollient properties.
