According to 米国農務省調査, adding as little as 5% of meadowfoam to other oils will significantly increase the oil’s oxidative stability, with some improvements over 2,000%!
Even when adding Meadowfoam to a more stable oil such as Jojoba, Jojoba’s OSI improved by 70%!
Superior Moisture Retention: Long & Very Long-Chain Fatty Acids
Meadowfoam oil has over 95% long-chain fatty acids
(LCFA >61% + VLCFA >34%) that support cosmetic product’s moisture retention, wrinkle reduction, and anti-aging capabilities, while also providing natural antioxidants such as vitamin E to help resist oxidative stress caused by free radicals and environmental aggressors.
Long-Chain fatty acids (LCFA)
LFCA are major components of the skin’s lipid membrane and are critical for the skin’s barrier function by helping to retain moisture and protect against external irritants.
Very Long-Chain fatty acids (VLCFA)
VLCFA have a key role in maintaining the skin’s barrier function and preventing water loss, while contributing to the mechanical and chemical robustness of the skin’s outer layer.
Sun Protection: Reducing the Impact of Ultraviolet B Radiation
A 2018 study by Oregon State University College of Pharmacy showed meadowfoam has UV absorption capacity that helps reduce UVB radiation that can damage skin cells. The study also found that meadowfoam compounds helped prevent sun-induced aging and skin wrinkling by blocking the activation of enzymes that degrade collagen.
More research needs to be done, but a good overview by Allure magazine can be found here.
