Product Description

Our organically crafted Meadowfoam Seed Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of Limnanthes alba, also known as White Meadowfoam—a low-growing flowering plant native to the Pacific Northwest. Renowned for its extraordinary stability and moisturizing power, this versatile oil is suitable for all skin and hair types and is a favorite in high-performance skincare, haircare, and lip care formulations.

What sets Meadowfoam Seed Oil apart is its rare essential fatty acid profile. With over 97% long-chain fatty acids (20+ carbon atoms) and naturally occurring tocopherols (Vitamin E compounds), this oil offers rich, lasting hydration without a greasy feel. It also boasts one of the longest shelf lives of any botanical oil, making it an exceptional base for formulations that demand stability.
