Gold of Pleasure Oil

Gold of Pleasure Oil - Pure Natural Oil for Skincare

Extracted from the seeds of the gold of pleasure plant (Camelina sativa), this distinctive oil is valued for its impressive omega-3 fatty acid content and unique heritage. Cold-pressed to preserve its natural properties, gold of pleasure oil has become a sought-after ingredient in natural cosmetic formulations, particularly for those seeking oils rich in essential fatty acids.

About This Oil

Gold of pleasure oil, also known as camelina oil or wild flax oil, is cold-pressed from the seeds of an ancient oilseed crop that has been cultivated in Europe for over 3,000 years. This oil typically has a golden yellow appearance and a mild, slightly grassy aroma that is characteristic of the plant.

The plant's common name "gold of pleasure" reflects both its golden-coloured seeds and oil, as well as its easy cultivation and minimal resource requirements. After centuries of being overshadowed by other oilseed crops, camelina has been rediscovered in recent years as a sustainable, hardy crop that thrives in challenging growing conditions.

What sets gold of pleasure oil apart is its remarkable balance of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, combined with natural antioxidants that give it better stability than many other omega-3 rich oils. This unique combination makes it both nutritionally interesting and more practical for cosmetic formulations than more delicate oils like flaxseed.

Gold of pleasure oil has a light to medium texture that absorbs well into skin. While it requires careful storage due to its omega-3 content, its natural antioxidants provide better stability than many comparable oils, making it a valuable addition to cosmetic formulations.
