The benefits of camelina oil for beard and hair

Camelina oil is a vegetable oil that is making a comeback! It is a bit of a forgotten oil in France, even a forgotten culture because camelina was widely cultivated a few centuries ago in Europe. This plant is also called "bastard flax". But with the revival of natural cosmetic products, and the trend towards slow cosmetics, camelina oil is making a strong comeback because it is a miracle oil, which has many benefits for the skin, especially on mature skin, hair and hair. It is even considered to be a health food, because its nutritional benefits are very important, especially to fight against certain diseases. It is indeed very rich in Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9, as well as in vitamins E and A. In short, it is an oil to absolutely have in your bathroom (or in your kitchen depending on your use).
