Meadowfoam oil is a vegetable oil, with a number of special properties.

Meadowfoam oil is extracted from the seeds of the white downy meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth.) native to California. The oil resembles jojoba oil, but has an even higher proportion of long-chain fatty acids. For that reason, just like jojoba oil, the oil is mainly used in creams, skin oils and serums for dry and/or older skin and in hair products to give shine. Like jojoba oil, meadowfoam oil does not go rancid quickly. In fact, meadowfoam oil is more resistant to the effects of oxygen from the air than jojoba oil. Because the oil is also refined, the chance of premature spoilage is nil - it is by far the most stable vegetable oil we sell.

Vegetable oil can (partly) become solid, especially in the cold season. This makes the oil appear cloudy, there are solid pieces in the form of lumps or long strings. It is often sufficient to allow the oil to come to room temperature, sometimes it is necessary to heat the oil in a bain marie for a while.

De Hekserij does not sell products intended for use in foodstuffs or for other internal use. This product is NOT an exception.
