Flaxseed Oil (Linseed Oil) is a carrier oil cold-pressed from the seeds of Linum usitatissimum, presenting as a clear yellow to darker yellow oily liquid. As one of the richest plant-based sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3), Flaxseed Oil provides exceptional anti-inflammatory, skin barrier-repairing, and moisture-retaining properties that make it particularly valuable for the formulation of products targeting sensitive, inflamed, or compromised skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
In personal care and cosmetic applications, Flaxseed Oil is valued for its ability to strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier, reduce transepidermal water loss, and soothe inflammatory skin responses — making it a premium functional ingredient in therapeutic skincare formulations.
Applications:
- Skincare (sensitive skin formulations, eczema and psoriasis-supportive products, barrier repair creams)
- Anti-Ageing (omega-3 rich facial oils, skin rejuvenation serums)
- Haircare (scalp health treatments, anti-inflammatory hair oils)
- Massage & Aromatherapy (carrier for anti-inflammatory essential oil blending)

- Clear yellow to darker yellow – rich omega-3 carrier oil
- No animal substance – suitable for vegan and Halal-compliant formulations
- Richest plant-based ALA omega-3 source for anti-inflammatory skin benefits
