ORIGIN

  Meadowfoam Seed Oil is derived from the seeds of commercial meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) fields in Oregon's Willamette Valley. It is extracted and refined to Natural Plant Products exacting specifications which have been developed over 20 years of production experience.
   

 

   
   

 DESCRIPTION

  Meadowfoam Seed Oil is a light colored, odorless triglyceride suitable for broad application in personal care products and cosmetics. It is composed of fatty acids with a remarkably high level of oxidative stability, making Meadowfoam Seed Oil one of the most stable triglycerides known.
         
   

UTILITY

  Meadowfoam Seed Oil's skin feel is distinct from many other natural oils. This is due to the novel chemistry of its fatty acids, which contain more carbon atoms than fatty acids common in edible oils such as soy, almond, sunflower and olive. As a result, Meadowfoam Seed oil provides good emolliency without being overly greasy or unctuous. It is absorbed quickly and leaves a lighter skin feel than many other oils.

The high level of oxidative stability means Meadowfoam Seed Oil is less likely to go rancid, even when handled at high temperatures and in the presence of oxygen and other conditions that cause natural oils to degrade. Concerns about product shelf-life are alleviated by Meadowfoam's extraordinary resistance to oxidation.
