Vegelatum® OMEGA-3 is a plant-based gel that offers a functional alternative to petrolatum in personal care formulations. Utilizing proprietary vegetable gel technology and natural ingredients, it incorporates Omega-3-rich flax seed oil, a popular ingredient linked to skin and hair benefits. This product delivers flax oil in a stable viscous gel structure, with enhanced stability compared to flax seed oil alone, as demonstrated by its improved oxidative stability (OSI 110°C of Vegelatum® OMEGA-3 was 15.4 hours, compared to 4.7 hours for flax seed oil).
