๐Ÿ”ฌ Composition & Research

Fatty Acid Profile:

  • Over 98% long-chain fatty acids (C20-C22)
  • High in eicosenoic acid (C20:1) - 60-70%
  • Erucic acid (C22:1) - 15-20%
  • Docosenoic acid (C22:1)

Unique Properties: Meadowfoam is one of the most stable carrier oils due to its unique fatty acid composition. The long-chain fatty acids make it highly resistant to oxidation and rancidity.
