## About
It looks too thick for the skin when you first pour it, and then it vanishes, leaving the skin velvety soft. Meadowfoam seed oil is full of quiet surprises like that, and its greatest gift is time: it may well be the most stable carrier oil of all.It is expeller pressed from the seeds of Limnanthes alba in the USA, then filtered and refined, and it is odorless. Its fatty acids are unusual, with more carbon atoms than those in common oils such as soy, almond, sunflower and olive, which gives it good emolliency without greasiness and a lighter feel than many other oils. The producer notes that it can extend the shelf life of more fragile carrier oils such as borage, evening primrose, rose hip seed and sweet almond, and its high tolerance for heat makes it a natural choice for handmade toiletries.DetailsBotanical name: Limnanthes albaOrigin: USAMethod: Expeller pressed, filtered and refinedScent: OdorlessHow to useUse it as the base for a hand or body oil blend, or add it to your handcrafted creams and lotions to help them keep longer.
