The Benefits of Flaxseed Oil for Eczema

Managing eczema is all about strengthening the skin barrier, keeping moisture locked in, and reducing irritation. Flaxseed oil is a powerful ingredient that helps with all three. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and linoleic acid, it supports skin health by improving hydration and reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier.

Why Flaxseed Oil Helps Eczema-Prone Skin

Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid known for its soothing properties. But the real game-changer for eczema-prone skin is linoleic acid, which plays a key role in maintaining the skin barrier. A strong barrier keeps moisture in and irritants out, helping to prevent dryness and flare-ups.

A study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that omega-3 fatty acids can help regulate inflammation, reducing eczema symptoms. Another study in Frontiers in Immunology highlighted how linoleic acid improves skin hydration and barrier function, making it easier for the skin to protect itself against external triggers.
