Common Uses: Meadowfoam oil contains 98% fatty acids long-chain carbon atoms. It is resistant to oxidation due to naturally occurring tocopherols, and is one of the most stable lipids known and will actually extend the shelf life of less stable ingredients. As a result, it has an extremely long shelf life.
Meadowfoam has wonderful moisturizing and rejuvenating properties and is highly recommended for use in cosmetics and skin care products especially for its UV protection properties. It is a key ingredient in many different products such as suntan lotion, massage oils and lotions, hand/facial creams, hair and scalp products, cuticle repair cream, foundations, rouges, face powders, lip sticks, shampoos, shaving creams and various other balms.

Cautions:None Known.

I bought this to use on my face/body. Love it - smooths in, has no greasy feeling and no smell. This has replaced my normal facial lotion.

I love this oil. Does not leave a greasy feeling on skin...spreads very well on my skin, even giving it a moisturizing feel rather than an oily one.

This gem of an oil is a fantastic base for specialty skin oils. I use it as a base for my prescription blends for acne, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It is benign and gentle and have found that it causes no irritation or sensitization in skin that is already compromised. I highly recommend it's use.
