Skincare Benefits

Camelina oil has so many benefits for the skin, thanks to its high content of essential fatty acids like linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. These fatty acids play a key role in supporting the skin barrier, locking in moisture and reducing transepidermal water loss.

The oil’s soothing properties make it ideal for calming and comforting irritated or sensitive skin. Using camelina oil regularly can improve skin elasticity, smooth out skin texture and support the skin’s natural healing processes. Nourishing and moisturising, it’s great for healthy, glowing skin and gentle enough for all skin types. Cold-pressed from organic Camelina seeds, our Organic Camelina Oil is a multi-purpose, nutrient-rich cosmetic oil for skin and hair. Camelina is one of several oilseed crops used to produce high-quality plant oils. Compared to other oilseed crops like canola and flaxseed, camelina has advantages in terms of resilience, oil yield and favourable fatty acid profile. Known as “Gold of Pleasure Oil” or “False Flax Oil”, this unrefined botanical treasure has a high level of Omega 3 essential fatty acids, making it a deeply moisturising and soothing oil.

The oil’s golden colour and nutty aroma indicate its purity and minimal processing. It’s great for dry, mature or sensitive skin and improves skin texture while giving a soft, smooth feel.

Use in creams, balms and hair treatments, Organic Camelina Oil is heat stable and can be used at Stage 1 (fat stage) of emulsion formulations. Compared to canola oil, flaxseed oil, and olive oil, camelina oil stands out for its unique balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making it highly beneficial for skin care applications.

In hair care, it adds natural shine, smoothness and manageability, reduces dryness and breakage.

Product Description

Organic Camelina Oil is an excellent choice for cosmetic formulators seeking an oil that is both nutrient-rich and formulation-friendly. The oil is cold pressed and unrefined, preserving its natural fatty acid profile and giving it a bold scent and vibrant colour.

Unlike many Omega-rich oils, Camelina Oil is heat stable, which means it can be incorporated into oil phases that are heated—something not typically possible with high Omega 3 oils. This makes it a favourite for lotions, creams, balms, and leave-in hair products.

Thanks to its skin conditioning properties, it can be used as a standalone oil or in synergy with other plant oils. It works particularly well in serums, facial oils, and overnight treatments, offering excellent spreadability and skin feel. It can also be incorporated into beard oils, scalp oils, or blended into body butters for added emollience.

Extraction Method

The quality and nutritional value of camelina oil is linked to the method of extraction. Cold-pressed camelina oil is produced by gently crushing and pressing the seeds without heat or chemicals. This gentle process preserves the oil’s delicate fatty acids and nutrients, retaining the natural flavour, aroma and benefits. Cold pressing ensures the oil is high quality with a nutrient-rich profile for skin. By not using heat during extraction, the integrity of the fatty acids is protected, making cold-pressed camelina oil the best choice for those who want the full benefits of this amazing oil.

Skin-Loving Omega Profile

Camelina Oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids, including alpha linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. The omega-3 content in camelina oil is higher than in many other carrier oils, making it perfect for formulations for dry, textured or sensitive skin. In addition to alpha linolenic acid, the presence of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid supports skin health, maintains a healthy moisture barrier and has anti-inflammatory benefits. Its high omega-3 levels set it apart from many carrier oils that focus on omega-6 and omega-9.

Its blend of essential fatty acids supports:

• Healthy-looking moisture barrier

• Smoother, softer skin

• Radiant complexion

Nutrient Profile

Camelina oil has a unique nutrient profile compared to other vegetable oils. It’s rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, including both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, essential for healthy skin and overall well-being. The oil is high in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from UV rays and environmental stress. In addition to its fatty acid content, camelina oil has protein, fibre and important minerals, making it a valuable addition to skincare formulations and a nutritious diet. Its blend of essential nutrients supports skin health, moisture retention and protection against oxidative stress.
