ALA · typical content

(FA profile · Folk Oils lots)

Driven by plant-based diets and the search for vegan omega-3 alternatives to fish oil. ALA is the plant form partially converted to EPA and DHA. Folk Oils sources directly from Kazakhstan (world's top producer) and Canada, cold-pressed under nitrogen.

For a certifiable vegan omega-3 without fish odour, flax oil remains the reference active : provided oxidation is controlled from pressing onwards.

OXIDATIVE STABILITY CRITICAL POINT

Cold use only, do not heat

The richest in ALA Ω-3, but also the most fragile of all vegetable oils.

DO NOT HEAT UNDER NITROGEN REFRIGERATION BATCH CONTROLLED PEROXIDE

Two direct origins. Volume and quality, depending on your market.

Certifiable premium reference

Historical nutraceutical and premium Western cosmetic origin. Non-GMO and Organic standards compatible with EU Organic, USDA Organic, Japanese market. Robust traceability, identifiable batch all the way to the farm. Preferred origin for clients needing to justify sourcing to demanding regulators.

NON-GMO · ORGANIC AVAILABLE

ALPHA-LINOLENIC ACID (ALA) · C18:3 Ω-3

ALA: 50 to 60%, no vegetable oil is better

ALA is an essential fatty acid that the body cannot synthesize. The second richest source, nuts, reaches 10 to 16%. Chia is comparable but more expensive and less available. For any formulator who wants a high-dose vegan omega-3 without fish oil, flaxseed oil is the active with no realistic substitute.

ALA Ω-3 comparison

  • Folk Oils Linseed Oil

    ALA Ω-3 50 – 60%

  • Walnut oil

    ALA Ω-3 10 – 16%

  • Rapeseed oil

    ALA Ω-3 ~8%

  • Sunflower oil

    ALA Ω-3 <1%

Linseed oil is to vegan omega-3 what argan is to Moroccan cosmetics, the reference with no realistic substitute. Folk Oils gives it to you directly from Kazakhstan and Canada, with the COA per batch.

Value chain

From raw material to your B2B batch

Four typical steps for our cold-pressed virgin oils in Morocco: sourcing from identified partners, preparation and control, mechanical extraction without solvent, then direct export with CoA and traceability on request.

  1. Sourcing at source
    Step 01 Partner farmers · contracts

    Sourcing at source

    Raw material purchased directly from identified producers, without a broker: simpler upstream traceability, fairer prices, quality better preserved all the way to the press.

    Intermediaries 0
  2. Preparation and sorting before pressing
    Step 02 Control · homogeneity

    Preparation and sorting before pressing

    Reception, visual checks and preparation: only compliant materials go to the pressing line. This is the first quality lock before your batch.

    Control Batch to batch
  3. First cold mechanical pressing
    Step 03 Folk Oils, press

    First cold mechanical pressing

    Gentle mechanical extraction, without extraction solvent, at controlled temperature to preserve fatty acids, tocopherols and sterols useful for your formulations.

    Solvent 0%
  4. International packaging and delivery
    Step 04 B2B export · logistics

    International packaging and delivery

    From our unit to your site: industrial packaging (IBC, drums, custom-made), export documents and execution monitoring, without opaque chain.

    Traceability On request

Each batch can be accompanied by a technical file, examples of CoA and traceability adapted to your audits. Response within 48 hours on average.
