In addition to its UV protecting potential, the oil may also find uses as a moisturizing base for skin and hair care products. “The base of milkweed oil is very unsaturated, much more so than soybean or palm oil. I then modified the oil to make it more stable, and in its more stable form it is a very good moisture retainer,” explained the researcher.
The ARS is now looking for an industry partner to develop the technology further.
