The meadowfoam seeds are harvested and dried before oil extraction to help preserve the integrity of their long-chain fatty acids, which contribute to the oil’s exceptional oxidative stability and performance. Our meadowfoam seed oil is used in its enhanced, water-compatible form, where the botanical oil is blended with Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, a PEG-free emulsifier. This allows it to disperse easily in lightweight, water-based textures while maintaining a smooth, elegant skin feel.
The ingredient is designed to be cold-processable and supports low-energy emulsification, emphasizing stability, formulation compatibility, and sensorial performance to help ensure consistent results across finished products. Where palm-derived components are used (such as Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate), they are sourced in alignment with RSPO standards, and the ingredient is produced in accordance with COSMOS standards.
