Meadowfoam Oil

Meadowfoam Seed Oil – A Hydrating Powerhouse for Skin and Hair

Meadowfoam Seed Oil is celebrated for its rejuvenating, moisturising, and protective properties. It is often regarded as one of the most effective oils for preventing moisture loss. By creating a natural barrier on the skin, Meadowfoam Seed Oil helps lock in hydration and allows vital nutrients to penetrate deeper into the epidermal layers, promoting healthier, more supple skin.

Botanical Name: Limnanthes alba
Origin: Canada
Plant Part Used: Seed
Extraction Method: Cold Pressed

Our Cold Pressed Refined Meadowfoam Seed Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Limnanthes alba plant using an expeller-type press. This method ensures a clean, pure oil that is free from any solvent residues, making it ideal for use in premium skincare and haircare formulations.

Why Meadowfoam Seed Oil Stands Out
Unlike many other oils, Meadowfoam Seed Oil is composed of over 95% Long Chain Fatty Acids. This unique fatty acid profile gives it remarkable oxidative stability, making it highly resistant to rancidity and ideal for extending the shelf life of cosmetic products. This stability, coupled with its extraordinary emollient properties, has made it a staple in natural skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations.

Skin Benefits

• Moisture Barrier: Forms a breathable, protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture for longer-lasting hydration.
• Nutrient Absorption: Supports nutrient absorption into deeper layers of the skin, enhancing the effectiveness of other active ingredients.
• Softens and Smooths: Leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished without a greasy afterfeel.

Hair Benefits

• Locks in Moisture: Helps prevent moisture loss from hair strands, keeping hair hydrated and shiny.
• Tames Frizz: Smooths the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and flyaways.

A Stable Ingredient with Multiple Applications 
Because of its stability, Meadowfoam Seed Oil is prized by formulators for use in skin creams, moisturisers, balms, serums, hair conditioners, and even solid perfumes. Its resistance to oxidation ensures a longer shelf life for finished products, reducing waste and enhancing product reliability. It’s also being explored for use in pharmaceutical and industrial applications, thanks to its stability and unique fatty acid composition.

Whether you’re crafting a hydrating skincare product, a nourishing hair treatment, or a protective balm, Meadowfoam Seed Oil is a versatile, high-performance ingredient that delivers results.
