Source

The Camelina plant has beautiful Golden Yellow flowers and is grown as a rotation crop in the South of Germany along with Lentils or Peas. Also referred to as 'Gold of Pleasure' Oil.
Qualities
Certified Organic Camelina Seed Oil is rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids (C18:3 a-linoleic Acid) to about 40%. The Linolic Acid content is around 14 - 20% making it a very interesting oil. It also has a longer than usual shelf life due to naturally occurring concentration of Tocopherols at circa 100mg per 100grams. Organic Camelina Seed Oil can be used in Facial Serums as it is packed with antioxidants.
