Massage oils and shaving creams
Sunscreens and protective skincare products
Hair and scalp treatments for moisture and shine

Sustainability

Meadowfoam was first developed in the 1970s as an environmentally friendly alternative to sperm whale oil, helping to protect the species. It is grown as a renewable rotation crop, reducing the need for fertilisers and pesticides while providing additional income for farmers. The leftover seed meal is used as nutritious animal feed, and the plants support biodiversity by providing food for birds, insects, and small mammals.
