A soothing plant active. Safe, well tolerated.
Hydrolyzed Linseed Extract (INCI same) is an active extract from flax seeds, broken down by hydrolysis for easier use in a formula. It is included for its soothing effect, water-binding ability and contribution to a feeling of firmness. It appears in serums and moisturizers for sensitive skin. On efficacy, let me be honest: this is a support active. Flax seeds are rich in interesting compounds, but the clinical evidence for this specific cosmetic ingredient is modest. It soothes and adds comfort rather than acting as an active with a marked result. As a mild humectant and soother it does its part. It is topical, with no meaningful systemic absorption. It can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good: low irritation and allergy potential, suitable for sensitive skin.
