Liquid Form Organic Wound Healing Properties Linseed Oil from Morocco

Linseed oil, also known as flaxseed oil or flax oil, is obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of flax by pressing. It has a wide range of useful properties due to its rich chemical composition. Linseed oil is a triglyceride, like other fats. It is noted for its unusually large amount of alpha-linolenic acid. Other unsaturated fatty acids contained in flax oil are oleic acid and linoleic acid. It also contains smaller amounts of saturated fats, such as palmitic acid and stearic acid. Besides, linseed oil is rich in tocopherols (vitamin E).

What are the useful properties of linseed oil as a cosmetic ingredient? Due to the high unsaturated fatty acid content, it has a moisturizing, nourishing, and softening effect. That’s why it is great for taking care of dry, irritated, rough, and flaky skin. The use of linseed oil helps to protect the skin from strong wind, low temperatures, bright sun, and other environmental factors that may be very harmful for sensitive skin.

Besides, linseed oil is known for its wound healing, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. It soothes irritated skin, prevents flaking and inflammation, and speeds up the healing of cuts and other minor skin injuries. Linseed oil is best suited for problem skin, but it can also be used to take care of normal skin as a preventive measure and a strong moisturizing agent.
