Abstract

The present invention relates to a series of "reconstituted meadowfoam oils", used on skin for moisturizing and emmolient applications. The term reconstituted as used hereon refers to a process in which meadowfoam oil and one or more oils of natural origin are transesterified under conditions of high temperature and catalyst to make a "reconstituted product" having an altered alkyl distribution and consequently altered chemical and physical properties.
