Restores Epidermal Barrier Integrity & Enhances Fibroblast Division
Unlike conventional plant oils that coat the stratum corneum with a heavy occlusive layer, Camelina Sativa Oil integrates cleanly into the skin’s natural intercellular lipid cement. Its rich pool of polyunsaturated fatty acids works as an active emollient to reinforce depleted moisture barriers:
- Suppression of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
- Fibroblast Activation & Collagen Stimulation
- Non-Comedogenic Profile (Rating 0)
- Relief for Sensitive & Atopic Conditions
Unmatched Thermal Stability & Natural Gamma-Tocopherol Protection
Polyunsaturated seed oils typically degrade rapidly under exposure to air and heat. Camelina Sativa Oil breaks this chemical paradigm through its native antioxidant matrix, which preserves high Omega-3 concentrations even under rigorous manufacturing stresses:
- High Smoke Point of 245°C (473°F)
- Abundant Native Vitamin E Complex
- Extended Commercial Shelf Life
- Anti-Radical Quenching
The Ideal 2:1 Omega-3 to Omega-6 Ratio for Systemic Balance
Modern nutritional paradigms suffer from an excessive intake of pro-inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acids (often reaching 15:1 or 20:1 ratios). Camelina Sativa Oil offers an unrefined botanical solution that helps restore human cardiovascular and metabolic harmony:
- Naturally Balanced Profile
- Lipid Mediator Modulation
- Plant Sterol Enrichment (566 mg / 100g)
- Prenatal & Infant Nutrition
Enhances Equine Vitality, Coat Sheen & Sustainable Aquaculture Diets
From high-performance athletic horses to commercial aquaculture operations, Camelina Sativa Oil represents a superior source of functional lipids that promotes vitality without gastrointestinal distress:
- Equine Joint & Muscle Recovery
- Dermal & Coat Conditioning
- Sustainable Marine Oil Alternative
- Clean Heavy Metal Clearance
Why Enterprise Formulators Source from Our Facility
We combine advanced extraction engineering with dedicated agricultural provenance to guarantee reliable consistency, verifiable purity, and uninterrupted volume availability.
Dedicated Sub-40°C Cold Mechanical Extraction
Our proprietary continuous screw-press batteries operate strictly below 40°C (104°F). This eliminates thermal degradation of delicate polyunsaturated double bonds, protecting native tocopherols and maintaining natural bioactive enzyme integrity without chemical aids.
Strict Farm-to-Drum Traceability & Non-GMO Genetics
We cultivate and contract exclusively authentic Camelina sativa seed varieties across low-input, regenerative fields in pristine agricultural corridors. Our non-GMO crops undergo continuous DNA variety verification to prevent wild crucifer hybrid cross-contamination.
Certified Phototoxin & Psoralen-Free Guarantee
Every commercial batch is screened via high-resolution HPLC chromatography to guarantee non-detectable levels (<0.1 ppm) of phototoxic furocoumarins and psoralens. Formulators can safely incorporate our oil into leave-on daytime skincare without photosensitization risks.
Multi-Ton Production Capacity & Bulk Readiness
With an annual processing capacity of 2,500 Metric Tons, our facility guarantees reliable year-round supply. We prevent the spot-market price spikes and raw material shortages that often hinder commercial brand expansions.
Comprehensive Regulatory Dossiers & Compliance
Expedite global product registrations with our complete documentation suites: lot-specific GC-MS Certificates of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), Technical Data Sheets (TDS), allergen reports, Proposition 65 declarations, and full EU REACH conformity data.
Direct R&D Technical Support & Custom Nitrogen Packaging
Collaborate directly with our lipid chemistry specialists. We provide formulation compatibility data (SPF boosts, emulsion stability, viscosity matching) and pack under high-purity nitrogen blankets into 25kg pails, 190kg steel drums, and 950kg IBC totes.
Industries We Empower
From high-end cosmetic brands to specialized clinical nutrition and sustainable aviation bio-chemistry, Camelina Sativa Oil delivers functional solutions across major industrial domains.
Clean-Label Cosmeceuticals & Skincare
Formulated into barrier-repair facial creams, soothing baby balms, lightweight anti-wrinkle serums, and cleansing oils. Highly prized for its non-comedogenic (index 0) profile and fast transdermal penetration.
Gourmet Culinary & Functional Foods
Serves as a premium finishing oil for salads, warm dressings, and cold applications. Boasting a gentle almond-like flavor and high 245°C smoke point, it offers a stable alternative to volatile flaxseed culinary oils.

Expert Answers: Camelina Sativa Oil
Direct technical answers addressing regulatory status, stability parameters, fatty acid chemistry, and commercial formulation practices.
Camelina Sativa Oil is an ancient vegetable oil cold-pressed from the seeds of Camelina sativa (commonly known as Gold of Pleasure or false flax), an oilseed belonging to the Brassicaceae family. While both camelina and flaxseed oils are exceptionally rich in Omega-3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), camelina oil naturally contains much higher levels of gamma-tocopherol (Vitamin E, ~700–1,100 mg/kg). This native antioxidant network gives camelina oil a significantly longer shelf life (up to 2 years) and a remarkably high smoke point of 245°C (473°F), whereas flaxseed oil degrades rapidly at 107°C and turns rancid within months.
No. Camelina Sativa Seed Oil has a recognized comedogenic rating of 0 (non-comedogenic). Because it is composed largely of lightweight polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids with low surface viscosity, it absorbs quickly into the stratum corneum without creating a greasy occlusive seal or blocking sebaceous pores. This makes it ideal for acne-prone, oily, sensitive, and mature skin formulations alike.
The natural stability of Camelina Sativa Oil is due to its high concentration of protective isomers of Vitamin E, especially gamma- and delta-tocopherols, which act as powerful lipophilic free-radical scavengers. Additionally, the seed contains phenolic compounds and natural phytosterols that prevent lipid auto-oxidation. Unlike synthetic antioxidant blends added after refining, camelina's protective matrix is built natively into the lipid structure during seed development.
A typical cold-pressed Camelina Sativa Oil fatty acid profile consists of:
- Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3, C18:3): 30.0% – 40.0%
- Linoleic Acid (Omega-6, C18:2): 15.0% – 24.0%
- Oleic Acid (Omega-9, C18:1): 12.0% – 22.0%
- Gondoic Acid (C20:1): 11.0% – 17.0%
- Saturated Fatty Acids (Palmitic/Stearic): 7.0% – 10.0%
- Erucic Acid (C22:1): ≤ 2.8% (fully compliant with food and cosmetic safety limits)
Yes. Thanks to its remarkable smoke point of 245°C (473°F), unrefined cold-pressed camelina oil can be utilized for warm culinary preparations, sauteing, baking, and salad dressings. While prolonged continuous deep frying is not recommended for any unrefined high-polyunsaturated oil, camelina tolerates gentle cooking heat and thermal commercial processing far better than extra virgin olive oil or walnut oil.
In equine and animal feeds, Camelina oil provides a dense source of anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids that support joint mobility, reduce exercise-induced inflammatory stress, and improve coat follicle shine. Clinical studies in dogs also show enhanced skin barrier hydration, reduced transepidermal water loss, and increased coat density. Furthermore, it serves as a sustainable, heavy-metal-free alternative to marine fish oil.
No. Every production lot undergoes rigorous chromatographic testing confirming that psoralens and related phototoxic furocoumarins are <em>Not Detected</em> (<0.1 ppm). Our oil meets all safety requirements under European Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) expert panel assessments for safe, non-irritating daytime leave-on application.
Because Camelina sativa belongs to the Brassicaceae (mustard) family, individuals with severe mustard seed allergies should exercise caution. However, mechanical cold pressing and physical micro-filtration leave only minute trace proteins (<300 mg protein/100g oil). In cosmetics and topical personal care, allergic reactions are extremely rare, though standard 24-to-48-hour patch testing is always recommended for hyper-sensitive formulations.
Standard bulk packaging includes 25 kg food-grade HDPE pails, 190 kg tight-head epoxy-lined steel drums, and 950 kg intermediate bulk containers (IBC totes), all packed under high-purity nitrogen blankets to prevent oxidation. Our standard pilot evaluation MOQ is 25 kg, with container-load (FCL) multi-ton contract supply readily scheduled for commercial enterprises.
