| MEADOWFOAM
SEED OIL (Limanthes Alba)
“Meadowfoam” is
the common name for a wildflower whose white flowers resemble a
“meadow” covered in “foam.” This wildflower has been
protected for over 50 years by the United States government due to
it’s healing abilities and unusual carbon chain. Meadowfoam, an
excellent skin softener with an elegant conditioning feel, contains
a potent natural antioxidant (Tocopherols). Through scientific
testing, the Meadowfoam seed oil has proven itself to be
extraordinary skin care ingredient. “Instrumental
techniques such as x-ray microanalysis, scanning electron
microscopy, and polarized light microscopy have shown penetration
and structural repair of hair. Transepidermal water loss
and stratum corneum hydratin measurements has
shown moisturizing benefits on the skin”.
Discover the
wonders of Meadowfoam grown in the lush Willamette Valley of
Oregon. This wildflower is truly unique in many ways. The oil from
this flower is the most oxidatively and hydrolytically stable oils
known. This helps cosmetics last longer and perform more
effectively. Meadowfoam is not only good for you but for the
environment.
