INCI: Linum usitatissimum Seed Oil

Flax Seed Oil is a cold pressed, unrefined oil made from flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum) with a light-gold colour and a delicate, nutty character. It is naturally rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) omega-3s and offers excellent slip for a soft, conditioning feel on skin and hair. Because it is oxidation-prone, it is best used in cool-phase or after emulsification and stored away from heat and light for freshness.
