ORGANIC FLAXSEED GEL
Protective, soothing, softening, curl-defining and customizable
A must-have for all DIY hair care bloggers, you'll find you can't live without flaxseed gel!
As a substitute for or in addition to Aloe vera gel, flaxseed gel is a true multi-purpose product for use on both skin and hair.
Although suitable for all hair types, it is particularly well-suited and recommended for curly and frizzy hair, where it acts as a curl-definer. Applied to wet or dry hair on a daily basis, it aids styling, tames frizz, and defines curls without weighing hair down. Its softening and smoothing action is coupled with the protective film it leaves behind, protecting lengths and tips.
For the skin, in addition to maintaining hydration, it has soothing benefits, ideal for reactive skin. This calming action also applies to itchy scalps, for example.
Non-greasy and non-sticky, you can use this product for its softening action, either on its own, applied directly to your skin or hair without rinsing, or in a wide range of easy homemade skincare recipes.
The Botanical Minute: Flax seed Historically, flax was one of the first crops to be cultivated, dating back to the Neolithic period. Back then, flax seeds were much smaller than they are today, making cultivation and use more complex. Flax is a stalk-like plant with flowers ranging from blue to white, depending on the variety. Its roots, meanwhile, can go down to a depth of over a metre. Flax seeds are rich in oil and mucilage. Mucilage is widely used in cosmetics as a texturizing agent, as it swells in the presence of water. They then form a voluminous gel.
