Description
A softening plant oil derived from the seeds of the white-flowering meadowfoam plant (Limnanthes alba). Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil features a unique fatty acid composition, with 95% of its content made up of long-chain fatty acids (C20:1 eicosenoic acid at 61%, C22:1 erucic acid at 16%, and C22:2 docosadienoic acid at 18%) that make the oil exceptionally stable. It also contains antioxidant components such as vitamin E, along with phytosterols. Alongside its remarkable stability, Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil is described as non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and similar in skin feel to the commonly used jojoba oil. It is well suited for products that require a soft, smooth, and silky feel on the skin or hair.
