Description

Flax seeds, also known as linseeds, are the small, flat seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). These seeds have been cultivated for thousands of years for their nutritional value, as well as their use in textile and oil production. Flax seeds are a powerhouse of essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants, making them a beneficial ingredient in both dietary supplements and skincare formulations.

Flax seeds are known for their versatility and health benefits, often used as a superfood in smoothies, cereals, or baking, and also incorporated into beauty products for their hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

Due to their high mucilage content, flax seeds have a natural gel-like texture when soaked in water. This gel can provide deep hydration and moisture retention for the skin, making it an excellent choice for those with dry or dehydrated skin.

By including flax seed extract or oil in moisturizers or face masks, it helps the skin retain moisture and maintain a plump, hydrated appearance throughout the day.
