Meadowfoam seed oil

Meadowfoam seed oil (CAS 153065-40-8), also marketed as meadowfoam oil, is a cold-pressed vegetable oil derived from the seeds of Limnanthes alba.

Where is Meadowfoam seed oil used?

• Personal care: emollient and moisturizer in skin creams and hair conditioners
• Lip products: low grease feel and strong spreadability improve texture
• Industrial lubricants: bio-based base fluid or additive where biodegradability is a procurement requirement
• Coatings and adhesives: improve flexibility and film formation
• Dispersions and blended formulations: natural emulsification behaviour supports a stable, plant-derived carrier oil

Good to know: Its unusually high content of long-chain fatty acids gives it exceptional oxidative stability. Cosmetic-grade is the dominant commercial form for personal care supply chains.
