Chemically closer to jojoba than to a typical seed oil, which is why it lasts so well in a formula. Meadowfoam gives a light cushioning finish without the weight of a butter. Nothing about it is corrective — it is a good emollient chosen by formulators who want an oil that will not turn on them.

What summer does to your skin

Heat, humidity, sweat and excess oil call for lightweight, fast-absorbing layers and a high, re-applied sunscreen.

How that changes Meadowfoam Seed Oil

Summer rewards lighter textures and punishes anything occlusive. Strength of active matters less than whether it survives a humid day. Meadowfoam Seed Oil works on dryness & dehydration, damaged moisture barrier, and it is normally applied BOTH.
