What is linseed oil soap?

Linseed oil soap is a natural soap made fromlinseed oil , a vegetable oil extracted from flax seeds. Linseed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids , which makes the soap both effective and gentle.

The fatty acids dissolve dirt and grease without drying out the surface – which is why linseed oil soap is particularly good for wooden surfaces, floors, furniture and also as an all-purpose cleaner in the home. It saturates the wood and provides natural protection while cleaning.

Because linseed oil soap is completely biodegradable, it is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cleaning agents and is therefore suitable for those who want to clean and maintain both their home and yard in a sustainable way.

Why choose linseed oil soap?

One of the biggest advantages of linseed oil soap is its environmental friendliness. Made from linseed oil, which is extracted from high-quality flax plants, the soap is completely biodegradable. This means that it breaks down naturally in the environment without leaving any harmful residues. In addition, linseed oil soap is free from synthetic chemicals and additives often found in traditional cleaning products, making it safer for both people and the environment.

Linseed oil soap is also known for its effectiveness. It has the ability to dissolve dirt and grease even in cold water, saving energy while maintaining a high cleaning power. Its naturally fatty composition helps to moisturize and protect surfaces, which is especially valuable when treating materials such as wood and marble that can dry out or crack if not cared for properly.
