Linseed Oil, also known as Flaxseed Oil, is a nutrient-dense carrier oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the flax plant. It’s an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-nourishing properties. Linseed Oil is especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or reactive skin, and is a favourite in calming and restorative skincare blends.
Why Use Linseed Oil in Your Routine?
-
Rich in omega-3s that soothe inflammation and redness
-
Ideal for dry, flaky, or irritated skin conditions
-
Helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier function
-
Softens rough patches and improves texture
-

Due to its high nutrient content, Linseed Oil is often used in facial oils, body creams, and balms that focus on skin repair and barrier restoration. It’s a gentle oil that works well on its own or when combined with other calming ingredients.
