Flaxseed Oil – Cold-Pressed Omega-Rich Oil for Food and Cosmetic Applications
Product Overview
Flaxseed Oil, also known as Linseed Oil, is a cold-pressed fixed oil obtained from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). Naturally rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) — an essential omega-3 fatty acid — it is widely used in functional foods, dietary supplements, and natural cosmetics. Its light texture and mild nutty flavor make it ideal for cold culinary applications, while its nourishing profile benefits skin and hair formulations.
At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Cold-Pressed Flaxseed Oil produced under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management standards. Our oil is carefully processed at low temperatures to retain its delicate fatty acid profile and nutritional integrity. Available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade quality, it is suitable for use across the food, nutraceutical, and personal care industries.
