Flaxseed Oil, also known as Linseed Oil, is a cold-pressed oil extracted from the seeds of the Linum usitatissimum plant. Renowned for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids (particularly alpha-linolenic acid), it is widely valued for its nutritional, cosmetic, and therapeutic benefits. The oil has a light golden color and a mild, nutty aroma. It is commonly used in dietary supplements, skincare formulations, and industrial applications. Due to its drying properties, flaxseed oil also finds use in paints and varnishes.
