Flaxseed DIY gel
Is the gel component of this DIY recipe available as a cosmetic raw material?

If you look hard enough, you might.
Truth be told, no one uses flaxseed to make gels in cosmetics because flaxseed gels suck. In the past, I tried to make a passable product out of them but it just isn’t worth it.If you want to stay natural, try xanthan gum. If you are willing to use synthetics (which I highly recommend), then you can try carbomer, polyacrylate crosspolymer-6 or guar gum.

@natzam44 - Hi, thanks, I am very aware of the alternatives, however the question was if this raw material is available other as DIY.

A gel exactly like that with only flaxseed I can’t find, but there are plenty of ‘actives’ using flaxseed that show their use in hair products
You could do this with many drying oils
