The use of organic linseed oil in the cosmetics industry

 

Our organic linseed (flaxseed) oil has a yellowish-green color and a distinctive nutty aroma.

 

Cold-pressed linseed oil is used as an ingredient in a variety of skincare and cosmetic formulas. It is often included in creams, body oils, lotions, and other specialized cosmetic products.

 

Our organic linseed oil is obtained by cold-pressing golden flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum). After pressing, the oil is decanted and filtered. We also offer organic linseed oil for the food industry.

 

Interesting things

 

Flax has been cultivated for centuries and has played many practical roles throughout history. In the Middle Ages, linseed oil was applied to armor to protect the metal, and it was also used as a treatment for timber‑framed houses to help preserve the wood. At the same time, the plant’s tall stalks were processed into linen, a widely used fabric in everyday clothing.

 

The flax plant grows approximately 0.5–1 m tall and produces white to blue flowers. Flax seeds are small, found inside rounded fruit capsules, and can be either yellow‑gold or brown depending on the variety.

 

Flax seeds contain around 40% oil, which can be extracted through gentle mechanical pressing, followed by settling and fine filtration.
