Herbology Flaxseed Oil is 100% pure, cold-pressed Linum usitatissimum (Flaxseed / Linseed) oil — one of the richest plant-based sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the essential omega-3 fatty acid that plays a critical role in maintaining healthy skin barrier function, reducing inflammation, and supporting the structural integrity of both skin and hair. With an omega-3 content of approximately 50–60%, Flaxseed Oil delivers a level of essential fatty acid nourishment that few other plant oils can match — making it a genuinely powerful addition to skin and hair care routines for anyone dealing with dryness, inflammation, or loss of elasticity.
On skin, its omega-3 fatty acids work at the cellular level to strengthen the skin barrier, lock in moisture, and reduce the transepidermal water loss that leads to dry, flaky, or dull skin. Its natural anti-inflammatory action soothes irritated, reactive skin and supports a calmer, more balanced complexion over time. Vitamin E adds antioxidant protection, helping skin stay resilient against environmental stressors. On hair, Flaxseed Oil’s essential fatty acids nourish the scalp, strengthen the hair shaft, and reduce breakage — contributing to visibly stronger, shinier, and more manageable hair with regular use. A nutrient-dense, science-backed botanical oil for serious skin and hair nourishment.

How to Use
-
Face serum: Apply 2–3 drops to clean skin at night. Massage gently in upward motions until absorbed. Follow with moisturizer. Best used in the evening as omega-3 oils can be sensitive to light.
-
Dry skin body care: Apply to dry areas (elbows, knees, legs) after bathing while skin is still slightly damp for maximum absorption.
-
Hair mask: Apply generously to hair and scalp, massage in, leave for 30–60 minutes or overnight, then wash out with shampoo.
-
Scalp treatment: Massage a small amount into scalp 2–3 times per week to reduce dryness and flakiness.
-
Blend: Mix with rosehip or jojoba oil for a balanced, multi-benefit facial oil blend.
-
Tip: Store in a cool, dark place and use within 6 months of opening — omega-3 rich oils oxidize faster than saturated oils.
