Both go right to the core - meadowfoam seed oil goes straight to the epidermis, REO goes straight to the heart. REO is easy to explain. Meadowfoam seed oil requires a little more explanation.
Meadowfoam seed oil – a prime ingredient in our Zum Body and Zum Tub - contains over 98% fatty acids having chain lengths of over 20 carbon atoms - this is triple that of many vegetable oils. Hold on, before your eyes glaze over, this basically means that meadowfoam seed oil sinks in faster, deeper and better than 99.9999999% of other moisturizers out there because it’s a high-quality triglyceride oil. Okay, we’ll stop with the big words and the nerd speak.
Here’s what else is great about meadowfoam seed oil:
It forms a - sounds strange but it’s true - membrane to prevent moisture loss and provides a cushiony feeling on the skin. And who wouldn’t want that?
It revitalizes dry, cracked skin and keeps it moist longer.
It is light colored, non-staining, unscented and mild. Long story just a little bit longer - it soothes the most sensitive skin with natural emolliency.
It’s super, ultra, highly resistant to oxidation - so it lasts longer on the shelf and helps preserve the ingredients it’s paired with.
Lastly, REO is named for an old car, but did you know meadowfoam seed oil is named for the way it looks back on the farm? The solid canopy of creamy white flowers looks like a field of foam.
Aaaah, isn’t that neat? What a beautiful picture to leave you with on this fine day. Just close your eyes. Can you see the meadow of foam? Can you see it?
