Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil

What it is

Linum usitatissimum (Linseed) seed oil is the oil expressed from the seed of the plant Linum usitatissimum.

How it's made

Our Stewardship Model guides us to select ingredients which have been processed in a manner that supports our philosophy of human and environmental health.

Linum usitatissimum (Linseed) seed oil is mechanically, cold pressed from flax seed. The oil is then decanted for purification, followed by an evaporator process before being provided for use in our products. The oil we use is not preserved.

What are the alternatives?

Many oils are used for skin conditioning in cosmetic products.  In fact we use a combination of oils in our deodorant products, such as hydrogenated castor oil and hydrogenated soybean oil.  For gentleness in our Natural Strength Sensitive Deodorants we use a combination of these with Linseed oil and Cannabis sativa seed oil (Hemp seed oil).

Is this the right option for me?
