LIMNANTHES ALBA SEED OIL

Last update on May 1, 2024

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil is an emollient that deeply moisturizes the skin and leaves it smooth, soft, and silky. It has properties similar to jojoba oil and is highly stable because of the presence of unique long-chain fatty acids such as eicosenoic acid, docosenoic acid, and docosadienoic acid. The common name of Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil is Meadowfoam Seed Oil and it appears as a clear yellow liquid with no fragrance. Apart from hydration, this oil is also known for its anti-aging benefits where it fights dullness and age spots to result in beautiful, glowing, and youthful skin. Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil is particularly miraculous for extremely dry skin due to its high water absorption abilities.
