Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Meadowfoam is a modern agricultural crop developed for its long-chain fatty acids. The PEG-75 version was created as a contemporary plant-based emulsifier combining meadowfoam oil with polyethylene glycol for cosmetic formulations.
