Science
Ingredients in the seed oil include linoleic acid, Phyosetrols and omega 3 omega 6, which are fatty acids. In additional to being edible, flax seed oil contributes to skin health. Linoleic acid is nature's great moisturiser. Phytosterols reduce redness and irritation, and omega 3 and 6 have antioxidant potential. Further, omega 6 will work together with oleic acids to speed cell turnover.
