Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum), also known as linseed, is a nutritional powerhouse revered for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), lignans, and dietary fiber. These compounds contribute to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-repairing benefits. In skincare, flaxseed supports the skin’s moisture barrier, improves elasticity, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. When used on the scalp, it helps soothe irritation, balance oil production, and promote healthier hair growth.
Scientific studies highlight flaxseed’s role in supporting heart health, hormonal balance, and digestion when consumed, while its topical use offers hydration and protection against environmental stress. The lignans also provide mild phytoestrogenic effects, which can be beneficial for hormonal skin issues. At Nutriwellments, we source premium-grade flaxseed and process it with care to preserve its bioactive potency—ensuring science-backed nourishment inside and out.
