Product Description
Our Cold Pressed Flax Seed Oil, sourced and produced in England, is a highly versatile, nutrient-rich oil valued across cosmetic, personal care, and wellness formulations.
Naturally rich in essential fatty acids, led by linolenic acid (Omega-3, typically 35–71%) with oleic and linoleic acids, this oil helps support skin conditioning, softness, and barrier function. It also contains a generous level of naturally occurring antioxidants, particularly tocopherols (Vitamin E), which contribute to oxidative stability while offering skin-protective benefits.
Cold pressed to preserve its natural profile, Flax Seed Oil delivers excellent emolliency with a lightweight feel, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in body oils, creams, balms, facial formulations, foot care, and restorative treatments where nourishment and skin comfort are key.
A dependable, multifunctional ingredient, this oil is ideal for formulators seeking a UK-sourced, clean-label lipid with proven performance and broad formulation flexibility.
