Stories from Nature
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is an ancient and precious herbaceous plant, characterized by slender stems and unmistakable sky-blue flowers. The famous extract is derived from its seeds, which are rich in mucilage and oils.
Venerated since Ancient Egypt as a symbol of divine purity, Flax Extract has been a fundamental beauty secret for millennia. Women in ancient times used it as a soothing compress to calm the skin and as a hair gloss, taking advantage of its ability to envelop the hair in a protective sheath that reflected light.
Hair Benefits
Flaxseed Extract has a powerful regenerating and emollient effect on hair, especially dry, brittle, and dehydrated hair, and during the summer months, when hair is sensitized by the stress of salt, wind, and natural or artificial heat.
It penetrates the skin quickly, providing a moisturizing, nourishing, and soothing effect, as it is very rich in fatty acids. It is also used to prevent aging of the skin and hair.
