Flax Seed Oil (Organic, High-Omega-3 Carrier Oil)
Organic Flax Seed Oil is a cold-pressed carrier oil genuinely rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, alongside linoleic acid. It has a long history of traditional use in skincare for moisturising and softening dry or rough skin, including as part of traditional anti-aging skincare routines — these are traditional and cosmetic uses rather than medically proven treatments, and this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition.
Applied topically, it helps moisturise, hydrate and soften rough skin, making it a popular addition to facial moisturisers, hair treatments and massage blends. It's often fortified into other carrier oils in small amounts, and is a versatile ingredient in cosmetic formulations.
Apply a few drops directly to skin, massaging gently until absorbed. For formulations, blend at 5–15% into creams, serums or balms. Test small batches to perfect your recipe.
Botanical Name: Linum usitatissimum (Flax) Seed Oil.
Safety information: generally well tolerated on normal skin. This oil has a notably short shelf life and oxidises (goes rancid) faster than most other carrier oils due to its very high polyunsaturated fat content — use within 2–3 months of opening, refrigerate after opening, and never heat. A patch test is recommended before first use, particularly for sensitive skin — see the Safety Data Sheet and Ingredient & Allergen Statement in the Product Documents section below for full detail.
