Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum)

Extracted from the seeds of Linum usitatissimum, this premium essential oil is produced using Supercritical CO₂ extraction. This method is critical for Flaxseed, as it prevents the oxidation of sensitive polyunsaturated fatty acids that occurs during traditional cold-pressing or solvent extraction. The result is a stable, yellow liquid with superior sensory properties.

The extract is chemically defined by a rich profile of fatty acids, including Linoleic Acid (9,12-Octadecadienoic acid) and Palmitic Acid. It meets strict microbiological standards (Negative for E. coli) and is free from heavy metals (<10ppm), ensuring safety for ingestible and topical applications.

Applications:

• Cosmetics: A highly valued emollient that mimics the skin's natural lipid barrier. It is widely used in formulations for dry, sensitive, or mature skin to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and improve elasticity.
• Nutraceuticals: A plant-based source of essential fatty acids, supporting cardiovascular health and inflammation management.
