Organic Linseed Oil

Linum usitatissimum

Linseed oil is reputed for its soothing effect on the skin as well as its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids which deeply hydrate. The oil is also a great carrier, holding and bringing the active compounds from other ingredients right where they need to be.

Also known as flax, Linum usitatissimum is cultivated in most temperate areas of the world for its fibers and seeds. A tall-stemmed herb, flax grows flowers from May. During the flowering season, the beautiful blue color of their petals can fool passers by, making them believe for a short moment that a lake has replaced crops overnight.

Linseed oil is pressed from the teardrop-shaped seeds of the plant. It is rich in certain polysaccharides, believed to help skin retain hydration.
