What it is used for and where
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an important industrial crop from which seeds, oils and fibres are obtained.
The seeds contain interesting antioxidant components such as phenylpropanoid compounds, vanillic acid, vanillin, carmaric acid, ferulic acid and are the richest source of alpha-linolenic acid as well as an excellent source of dietary fibre.

Cosmetics
Fragrance. It plays a very important role in the formulation of cosmetic products as it allows perfume to be enhanced, masked or added to the final product, improving its commercial viability. The consumer always expects to find a pleasant scent in a cosmetic product.

Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment by restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants.
