Abstract in brief

  • The study found that taking flaxseed oil for 12 weeks can reduce skin sensitivity, improve skin hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier, with more noticeable effects than safflower seed oil.
  • Flaxseed oil supplementation decreased the skin's sensitivity to irritation, reduced water loss, and made the skin smoother and better hydrated, while also decreasing the n6/n3 fatty acid ratio in the plasma.
  • Safflower seed oil also improved skin roughness and hydration but to a lesser extent, and it increased the n6/n3 fatty acid ratio, suggesting flaxseed oil has a more positive impact on skin health.]
