Meadowlactone® contains a cyclical lactone ring derived from a 5-hydroxy moiety on the Meadowfoam fatty acid, in a Meadowfoam fatty acid matrix. The lactone ring confers a hydrophilic nature to that terminal end of the molecule while the long fatty acid chain confers lipophilic attributes to the rest of the molecule. It also has amphoteric properties, since the lactone ring will open and close as a function of pH and the ionic character of the environment.
Meadowlactone® can help provide balanced moisturization, to improve tone, elasticity and help reduce dryness of the skin, and it can help reduce irritancy caused by some products.
Key Properties:
- Provides measureable and meaningful consumer benefits
- Improves appearance of the skin, moisturizing and reducing the appearance of dry skin
- Reduces coefficient of friction on skin and hair
- Helps adjust hydration levels of interstitial spaces and provides skin moisturization and protection benefits
- Contributes to an elegant after-feel
- Improves elegance and texture of products
- Reduces irritancy in products, e.g. hair relaxers and hair dyes
