Meadowfoam oil, extracted from the seeds of the Limnanthes alba (white meadowfoam) plant, is a natural ingredient that is revolutionizing skincare. With its exceptional ability to retain moisture and strengthen the skin barrier, it's a perfect choice for sensitive and dry skin.
The plant, Limnanthes alba, originally native to the fertile regions of North America, thrives in moist soils and is characterized by its white, foam-like flowers. The plant's small seeds are rich in valuable lipids, which are processed into meadowfoam oil using a gentle process. This oil is not only biodegradable but also produced sustainably and environmentally friendly.
Meadowfoam oil is a unique active ingredient in skin care and unfolds its effects on several levels:
With its high content of long-chain fatty acids, meadowfoam oil forms a protective layer on the skin that prevents moisture from evaporating. Studies show it is up to four times more moisturizing than lanolin.
The fatty acids contained in the oil, such as eicosenoic acid and docosenoic acid, promote the regeneration of the skin barrier and make the skin more resistant to external influences.
Thanks to its exceptional stability, meadowfoam oil hardly oxidizes and provides long-term protection for the skin against dryness and cracking.
The oil gives the skin a velvety soft feeling and soothes irritations – ideal for sensitive skin.
Meadowfoam oil combines sustainability, effectiveness, and tolerability. It provides intensive moisture, strengthens the skin barrier, and ensures a pleasantly cared-for skin feeling – all with the power of nature. With meadowfoam oil, we offer care that not only works visibly but also noticeably – for skin that feels supple, strong, and healthy.
