Meadowfoam CP is the virgin triglyceride oil contained within the seeds of the Limnanthes alba (Meadowfoam). Processed at extremely low temperatures and clarified using only filtration, the oil maintains a profile enriched in delicate active materials such as tocopherols, carotenoids, and other well-known antioxidants like phytosterols.
Meadowfoam CP also contains a powerful antioxidant known as 3-MBTU, which is covered by US Patents. Deep red-orange in hue and possessing a pleasing earthy aroma, Meadowfoam CP is recommended for skin, hair and sun care products demanding the utmost performance from a natural emollient. When added to cosmetics and creams, it re-moisturizes the skin in ways no oil can. In shampoos and soaps it helps add shine moisture to hair and scalp made dry and brittle by the harsh process of daily washing. In lipsticks and balms, it helps revitalize dry, cracked lips and they stay moist longer. Meadowfoam Seed is currently being used in the following types of products: suntan lotions, eye shadows, eye liners, mascara, hand/face creams, cuticle repair lotions, body oils and creams, shaving creams, foundations, rouges, face powders, lip sticks, shampoos, and hair/scalp treatments.
