Linseed (Flaxseed) Oil is a nutrient-rich oil and one of the few carrier oils with a high content of the omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, which is critical for healthy skin.
Linseed Oil (Linum Usitatissimum) is an ultra-moisturising oil with anti-inflammatory and healing properties that are beneficial for skin conditions arising from a dietary lack of Omega-3.
The oil helps to restore flexibility, suppleness and softness to tired, overexposed or ageing skin. It is a particularly helpful carrier oil for clients whose skin is neglected or showing the effects of overwork or stress.
Linseed (Flaxseed) Oil has a slightly nutty odour that can compromise or even overwhelm if blended with more subtle aromatherapy essential oils such as Neroli.
