Essentially Natural Meadowfoam Seed Oil - Cold Pressed is a silky, stable carrier oil pressed from the seeds of Limnanthes alba. It is valued for its ability to help lock in moisture and leave skin feeling soft and comfortable without a heavy finish. Meadowfoam is also popular in formulations because it is naturally more oxidation-resistant than many other carrier oils, which supports a longer shelf life in blends. This oil is an excellent choice for face, body, lips, and hair care routines.

Q: Can I use it around the eyes?
A: Many people use gentle carrier oils in eye-area routines, but use sparingly and avoid getting oil into the eyes.
