About this ingredient
Camelina seed oil is pressed from Camelina sativa. INCI: Camelina Sativa Seed Oil. It is a plant oil rich in omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and vitamin E, with a light texture. In a formula it works as an emollient and barrier-support component: it softens skin, reduces water loss, and the omega-3 fatty acids are linked to anti-inflammatory support. It suits dry and reactive skin. Its standalone clinical effect is modest; the main role is emollient and barrier support. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
