Frequently asked questions
What is organic cold pressed flax seed oil?
It is the organic grade of linseed oil (INCI: Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil), cold pressed from the dried ripe seeds of organically grown flax, Linum usitatissimum, of UK origin. It is 100% pure, with no solvents or preservatives.
How does the organic grade differ from standard flax seed oil?
Both are cold pressed from the same species and share the same light, omega-3 rich profile; the organic grade comes from organically farmed seed, for brands making organic claims. Store either grade cool, dark and sealed, as flax oil is highly unsaturated.
Can organic flax seed oil be used in food?
Yes, it is suitable for food use, subject to the usual formulation considerations, as well as for cosmetics under EU Regulation 1223/2009.
What pack sizes are available?
1kg and 5kg packs, all priced online. For larger volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
