Linseed Vegetable Oil

Flaxseed oil exhibits noteworthy antioxidant properties that combat photoaging and mitigate the effects of oxidative stress. It could, therefore, assist in preventing wrinkles.

Due to its moisturising and soothing properties, flaxseed oil could potentially help to alleviate itching in dry and irritated scalps. However, clinical studies would be required to confirm this.

Linseed oil is typically obtained through cold pressing of flax seeds, although other extraction methods do exist (such as solvent extraction, enzymatic extraction).

Linseed oil is typically categorised among comedogenic vegetable oils. Therefore, its direct application on oily or acne-prone skin is not recommended.
