Camelina Sativa Seed Oil at a Glance
Camelina Sativa Seed Oil Description
Camelina sativa seed oil is an emollient, soothing skin care ingredient that comes from the flowering plant, Camelina sativa. This plant’s seed oil is rich in fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid and oleic acid, vitamin E, and other phenolic compounds that act as antioxidants. Due to its well-rounded chemical composition, Camelina sativa seed oil can benefit skin in several ways. As an emollient, this plant-based oil nourishes, softens, and assists in hydration through the creation of a physical barrier over skin which prevents moisture from escaping into the environment. The more moisture skin retains, the plumper it looks, assuming the moisture is evenly distributed within skin. The fatty acids within Camelina sativa seed oil also soothe, making it an ingredient to look for if you’re tackling reddened or irritated skin.
Another benefit that Camelina sativa seed oil possesses is helping to protect skin from environmental aggressors, like pollution and UV rays, that can cause pro-aging damage.
