Has anyone used Camelina oil? If so, please let me know. You see, I bought a GALLON of organic Camelina oil from Mountain Rose Herbs, thinking it was Camellia seed oil... The descriptions of Camelina sounded like Camellia to me! I was planning to make shampoo bar with the camellia seed oil.
But when it arrived, I looked at the label and it was cameLINA and not cameLLIA. They are completely two different oils! Look at the spelling of these two! No wonder I got confused
I cannot find the SAP value for Camelina oil on the Soapcalc. I am thinking it's close to flax seed oil.
What would be a good way of using it?
I copied and pasted information about Camelina oil from Mountain Rose Herbs website:
Camelina Oil : (Camelina sativa)
Method of extraction: Expeller Pressed/Unrefined
Camelina Seed oil is very similar to Flax in appearance and properties but it has a much more stable shelf life and is not prone to rancidity. This delicious oil can be used for food and cosmetic purposes and comes packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E and anti-oxidants. Great for the skin, hair and eyes, the nourishing properties of Camelina are also popularly used as an oil additive for our animal companion's food. This oil makes an excellent choice for natural cosmetics and especially hair care formulas.
