Is this truly raw linseed oil or is it bleached during processing? I ask because I need raw linseed oil that still contains fatty acids.

To be honest I'm not sure. I do know that it is 100 times better quality than boiled linseed oil.

I'm not sure how it's manufactured, but it is certainly oily to the touch and feels like the raw linseed oil I've used all my life. I would think the manufacturer could give you a definitive answer.

This is not boiled with driers added. It is considered raw, can't speak to the fatty acid issue. I have used it with bare hands and it is defiantly not irritating.

For the absolute answer you would need to contact the manufacturer directly. Most companies are very willing to answer end user questions about the product. Quoting the comment on the can it reads: [This product] is a drying oil extracted from the seed of the flax plant. It is a natural product which contains no additives or driers and has a slow drying time (2-4 days). This slow drying characteristic allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the wood. [This product] is recommended for applications requiring a completely natural product....

It is vegetable oil, and it is thick. My aesthetician recommended mixing it with grape seed oil which is very light. The grape seed oil also cuts the odor so you don't smell like a salad. I personally don't mind the oiliness or smell, but I can understand that some might. I find it very good for replenishing lost oils due to winter, etc.

This is RBD (refined,bleached & deodorized). Refined oils have a higher 'smoke point'; this has a smoke point ~ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point

It does not list Linseed as an ingredient. It states that it contains Petroleum Naptha. It states on the can for questions and comments to call 800-558-5252

I sure wish someone would answer R. Shim's question about Garden of Life "Raw"ness I too am assuming not heated but would like to know also if acid-processed or merely dried or???

The omegas you list are not "added" to this wild salmon oil. They are the omegas naturally found in wild salmon, just like if you ate the fish itself. This is a completely natural product. :)

Boiled linseed oil contains a blend of 1) raw oil, 2) Stand oil - which is linseed oil heated to 300 degrees for several days, and 3) metal catalysts. It cures in about 2 days. Raw linseed oil does not have the additives, and is closest to pure flaxseed oil. However Raw linseed oil can take a month to cure.

Okay, talked to Flora, Inc. If it was high lignan (lignan being the hulls from the flax seed), it would say so. Also, I was warned that Flora cannot guarantee that this product purchased from Amazon has been properly refrigerated. Which freaked me out. So, no, this is not the High Lignan product though Flora, Inc. does produce that type of flax oil.

That is a good question and I am afraid I cannot answer. What I can provide is the oil seems to be as wonderful in terms of quality. I store in a dark cabinet if that helps.

sorry about not getting back to you sooner. I was going to use this on a cutting board. I still haven't done yet. I'll have to look on the label to see if it has linseed. did you try googleing it?

My understanding:Food-grade flaxseed oil - cold-pressed and obtained without solvent extraction, in the absence of oxygen, and marketed as edible flaxseed oil.Linseed oil - may be chemically extracted and exposed to oxygen.Boiled linseed - a combination of raw linseed oil, stand oil (linseed oil heated to near 300 °C ~572 °F), and metallic dryers (catalysts to accelerate drying).

Hi.it is pure, but to my surprise I had much better results with black seed oil in capsuls. The same company. I could not explain it. My best wishes. N.

No, mine came fine and new (sealed). You should send it back for exchange or refund. don't wait! I like this oil, the taste is not as strong as say extra virgin coconut oil.

So one answer was, "This particular mink oil is natural." Saying that it's natural could mean that this is 5% mink oil, and 95% other animal fats or vegetable oil etc. Does anyone know what the ingredients are? I'd really like to know what the breakdown is.

This is definitely refined. A easy giveaway is the packaging - coconut oil is solid and only liquifies at 76 degrees or greater which is why it's sold in jars not bottles. I prefer to buy the huge jar of raw, unrefined coconut oil that way it has multiple uses and there's no degradation in the effectiveness.
