Camelina (Gold of Pleasure)
Serendipity is phasing out the use of Flax Seed oil and switching to Camelina because of it's naturally longer shelf life and because we have the good fortune of being able to buy it freshly pressed from a farm down the road who grows Camelina and cold presses their own crop.
Camelina Oil is cold pressed to yield a yellow coloured and lightly aromatic oil. Camelina oil contains over 50% polyunsaturated fats. It is especially high in the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, both which cannot be manufactured by the body. Camelina Oil is over 10 times higher in these acids than many other vegetable oils commonly available. It is nourishing and helps to heal and treat skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The essential fatty acids help to repair cells. Camelina oil also helps to improve the elasticity of skin. Its high content of natural tocopherols gives it a very stable shelf life against oxidation. As a side note, there are no pesticides developed for this ancient European seed that is also known as "Wild Flax". Wheat Germ Oil
