Description

Fats And Glyceridic Oils, Limnanthes Alba Seed is a natural, plant-derived lipid extract obtained from the seeds of the *Limnanthes alba* plant, commonly known as meadowfoam. This specialized oil is valued for its unique fatty acid profile, offering exceptional oxidative stability and a long shelf life. It serves as a high-performance ingredient for formulators in the cosmetics, personal care, and lubricant industries seeking sustainable and stable bio-based alternatives.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and hair care products, providing a non-greasy feel and enhancing skin barrier function.
• High-Stability Lubricants: Used as a base or additive in bio-lubricants and industrial fluids where superior resistance to oxidation and thermal breakdown is required.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Excipients: Employed as a carrier oil or an ingredient in topical formulations and softgel capsules due to its purity and stability.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a renewable feedstock for the production of esters, surfactants, and other oleochemical derivatives.
• Natural & Organic Product Lines: An ideal component for brands formulating certified natural, organic, or sustainably sourced consumer products.

Quality Control

Our Fats And Glyceridic Oils, Limnanthes Alba Seed is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and key physical-chemical parameters. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request. We can supply grades suitable for cosmetic (INCI compliant), technical, and other industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). As the material is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace in partially used containers. Keep away from strong heat sources and oxidizing agents.
