Meadowfoam Seed Oil

Extracted from the flowering white meadowfoam plant native to parts of North America, meadowfoam seed oil is packed with fatty acids and antioxidants that help combat free-radical damage. Similar to skin’s own natural sebum, this oil absorbs easily, sealing in moisture, softening skin, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. It also helps regulate the skin’s natural sebum production, preventing both oiliness and dryness.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT Meadowfoam Seed Oil

What Is Meadowfoam Seed Oil?

Meadowfoam Seed Oil is a lightweight, highly stable botanical oil extracted from the seeds of the Limnanthes alba plant, commonly known as meadowfoam. Native to the Pacific Northwest, this oil is prized in skincare for its unique fatty acid profile and exceptional ability to lock in moisture without feeling heavy or greasy.
