The oil derived from the plant Linum Usitatissimum, better known as Flax, is a great benefit to one’s well-being. If you are a health-minded individual, you may be aware of flaxseeds as a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are difficult to consume in adequate quantities. When it comes to skincare, flaxseed oil is one of the few natural plant oils that contain a considerable amount of moisturizing and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acid, also referred to as linolenic acid. Additionally, it has skin-nourishing oleic acid and linoleic acid, which helps to repair the skin’s barrier. The percentages range from 35 to 65 for linolenic acid, 11 to 35 for oleic acid, and 11 to 24 for linoleic acid.
