Findings
Meadowfoam seed oil works just as well as synthetic alternatives at dispersing pigments in lipstick, creating smooth formulations with low friction and good color payoff. It performed comparably to castor oil and octyldodecanol across particle size, wetting ability, and lipstick stability over 4 weeks—making it a viable natural swap for conventional dispersing agents.
