Escentia Flax Seed Oil - Cold Pressed - 500ML

Escentia Flax Seed Oil - Cold Pressed is a cold-pressed carrier oil from Linum usitatissimum , also known as linseed, used in skincare, haircare, and body oil formulations where a rich, conditioning plant oil is wanted. It is especially suited to blends for dry-feeling or mature-looking skin, and can also be used to add nourishment to hair oils and treatments.

This is a carrier oil, not an essential oil, so it is used as a base oil in formulations rather than for fragrance. It leaves a noticeably rich, oily feel on the skin, which makes it better suited to more nourishing applications than quick-dry finishes. Why we love it: Flax seed oil is a lovely choice when you want a plant oil that feels generous, comforting, and deeply conditioning in a blend.

We especially like it for richer body and hair care recipes where that fuller oil feel is part of the appeal, not something to work around.
