Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oillimnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil

CRA

9/10

Concern level

High concern

A plant-oil blend of Crambe abyssinica seed oil (abundant in erucic acid) and meadowfoam seed oil (Limnanthes alba), both used as emollients and skin-conditioning agents. The blend is valued for a lightweight, highly stable, oxidative-resistant feel with good spreadability and barrier-softening properties. It is typically used to improve texture, reduce transepidermal water loss, and add slip without the heaviness of some triglyceride-rich oils.
