Flax Seed Oil
Linum usitatissimum
Omega-3 Rich Elixir for Glowing Skin & Resilient Hair
Cold-Pressed Vitality
Extracted from flaxseeds through cold-pressing, this golden oil is a powerhouse of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, along with lignans and vitamin E. Renowned for its anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties, it supports skin barrier repair, combats dryness, and promotes a radiant complexion.
