Description
Flaxseed Carrier Oil (Organic) brings a soft, functional character to skincare and body-care formulations. It spreads with a slightly weighty glide and leaves a noticeable finish that feels more natural and ingredient-led than polished or neutral.
It is well suited to simple skincare, body oils, creams, balms, hair-care blends and general formulations where its seed-like identity is welcome. This is not the best oil for formulas that need to feel very clean, light or fragrance-neutral. Used carefully, it adds softness and substance. Used too heavily, it can feel oily, earthy or too present in the finished product.
Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of 12 months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended.
