Meadowfoam Seed Oil
Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed OilBarrier
Long-chain fatty acid oil with unusual oxidative stability. Lightweight, non-greasy, well-suited to facial use.
What it does
Meadowfoam seed oil is dominated by very long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids that resist oxidation noticeably better than most plant oils — its shelf life on the skin and in the bottle is among the longest in the category. Light skin feel; absorbs reasonably quickly. Often used as a finishing oil or as a stabilizer in oil blends.
