Pure cold-pressed milkweed seed oil
Milkweed oil is one of nature’s hidden treasures. Cold-pressed from common milkweed seeds grown locally and organically, this amber-colored oil is rich in Omega 6 and 9, as well as Omega 7—a rarity in the plant world. It also contains 5 of the 8 types of Vitamin E, including very high levels of tocotrienols, another rare form in plants. Vitamin E is well known for its antioxidant and skin-hydrating benefits.
Golden in color, it carries a fresh, earthy fragrance that is reminiscent of hemp seed or flaxseed oil. And beyond its natural qualities, milkweed farming helps sustain threatened monarch butterfly populations by preserving and expanding their essential habitat.

Material & Care
Designed for northern winters
Our products are designed to help you enjoy the cold season with style and comfort. We manufacture everything in North America to keep our supply chain as short as possible and prioritize durable materials.
Responsible and cruelty-free
The oil used to manufacture synthetic insulation is getting scarcer and more expensive, while down is questionable from an ethical standpoint. Milkweed can be farmed industrially in a win-win formula for nature and humans and performs better than its counterparts.
Respectful of Monarchs
By purchasing a Lasclay product, you are directly helping the monarchs, an endangered species. An abundance of milkweed in rural areas provides them with invaluable breeding grounds before their great migration, after which we harvest the floss.
