Benefits

Makes your skin glow from within

Flaxseed is rich in omega-3, a fatty acid that plays an important role in preventing premature skin aging. Unlike many other oils, such as sunflower oil, which mainly contain omega-6, Flaxseed Oil consists of approximately 60% omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed Oil is therefore a wonderful ingredient to increase your omega-3 intake and nourish your skin from within and make it glow. Besides slowing down skin aging, Flaxseed Oil is also good for your brain, heart, blood vessels, etc.

Hydrates and softens the skin

The essential fatty acids in Flaxseed Oil keep your skin hydrated and supple, which reduces the visibility of fine lines and signs of skin aging. Additionally, the oil has soothing properties that can reduce redness.

Strengthens the hair

Flaxseed Oil contains a lot of vitamin E, which helps prevent hair loss, stimulates hair growth and protects the hair. The nourishing properties of Flaxseed Oil contribute to strong hair and the oil is therefore ideal for dry hair and hair that breaks easily. Heat the oil au bain-marie and give your scalp a nice massage, then distribute the oil through the rest of your hair, leave for an hour and wash your hair as you always do.

How do you use it?

In the kitchen

Flaxseed Oil is delicious to use in dressings and sauces, but you can also add a teaspoon to your smoothie to easily enjoy the many beneficial properties of Flaxseed Oil. Flaxseed Oil is not suitable for baking, because it doesn't tolerate heat well.

For the face

Warm a few drops of Flaxseed Oil between your hands and apply to cleansed skin for deep hydration, or incorporate the oil into DIY care products.

What makes it so special?

Flaxseed is one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3, a fatty acid that you need for many different bodily processes and makes your skin glow from within.
