This tiny power packed seed is full of benefits. From improving digestion, helping lower cholesterol to amazing skin and hair. Flaxseeds are an anti-inflammatory that are high in omega-3 fatty acids known for increasing the speed at which skin wounds heal and reduce inflammation in the skin, fighting acne. The essential fatty acids found in flaxseeds help keep the skin hydrated and smooth in appearance. Also full of antioxidants that help protect against environmental stressors.

Use in a face mask by adding 2tbsp ground flax seeds (you can grind them using a mortar and pestle or even a coffee grinder), 1 tbsp clay of choice, 4 tbsp water. Leave on for 15 minutes. Soften the mask with water and scrub around for 2 minutes before washing off.

To make a DIY hair gel to encourage shiny, healthy and bouncy curls, boil 2 cups of water with 2 Tbsp flax seeds, boil on medium high heat for about 10 mins, let cool, and then strain through a thin cloth or nut milk filter. Apply to wet hair, scrunch to encourage curls and let dry naturally or with a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer!Store your DIY flax gel in the refrigerator, and it keeps for about 1-2 weeks.

We recommend storing your flax seeds in an airtight glass container.

Bulk online

This item is a part of our Bulk Online selection! We created this option because we know not every person has access to a local bulk shop for these products, and we want to help you live a little gentler on the Earth no matter where you live. Each product is filled to order in our bulk section, and shipped right to your door with plastic-free packaging and carbon-neutral shipping!

We chose endlessly recylable aluminum bottles for liquids (with reusable specialty lids for dispensing products), and compostable bags for dry goods, due to the lightweight nature of each, to minimize shipping emissions. We ship a few thicker gel-consistency products in reusable glass mason jars – we encourage you to reuse these jars at home, and we even have a collection of mason jar accessories to transform your jar for another use!

If you’re local to Seattle, check out our zero waste bulk for store pickup option! Our retail store has a zero waste jar return program – so you can fill up any bulk product in our reusable mason jars – each jar has a $2 deposit so you can return clean, dry jars to us for a refund or credit, and we’ll sanitize and reuse them again and again!
