Product Highlights: 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.

MEADOWLACTONE 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.
