Meadowfoam Seed Oil

Meadowfoam Seed Oil (CAS 169107-13-5), derived from Limnanthes alba seeds, is a highly stable fixed oil used as an emollient and conditioning agent across personal care and cosmetic formulations. PEG-75 Meadowfoam Seed Oil is a recognized derivative form offering water-dispersible functionality for rinse-off and leave-on systems. In skin and hair care, it functions as a long-lasting emollient.

It is used in creams, serums, lotions, and conditioners, providing a non-greasy skin feel that supports formulation elegance. Its film-forming properties make it a preferred carrier and fixative in lip products. It is also utilized in sunscreens and color cosmetics where oxidative stability is a formulation priority. The PEG-75 derivative is used specifically in surfactant-based systems like shampoos and shower gels.

This derivative is ideal for liquid cleansers where oil-phase compatibility with water is required. In home care and industrial cleaning, it contributes surface-wetting and conditioning performance. It is frequently found in premium fabric care and hard-surface formulations. Meadowfoam Seed Oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid for various industrial and cosmetic manufacturing needs.

Standard grades include cosmetic-grade and natural variants aligned with COSMOS and ECOCERT standards. The PEG-75 derivative is available as a separate commercial grade for applications. These products meet rigorous industry requirements for purity and performance. The oil remains a staple for formulators seeking high oxidative stability and superior sensory profiles in finished goods.
