Amaranth Oil (Cold Pressed & Unrefined)

What is Amaranth Oil?

Amaranth oil is a rich source of squalene, a substance that slows down the skin aging process and keeps your skin soft and supple. Amaranth oil is a wonderful oil to use in care products for dry or mature skin, or to use in your hair.

Amaranth oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the amaranth plant (Amaranthus Spinosus). Amaranth is native to Siberia and has been used for centuries for its nourishing and strengthening properties.

Benefits

Rich source of squalene

Amaranth oil contains a large amount of squalene, an oil that your body produces itself in the skin to keep it supple and hydrated. If you suffer from dry or stiff skin, your body produces too little squalene, which can lead to premature skin aging. By applying Amaranth oil to the skin, you replenish the amount of squalene in your skin and your skin remains soft and supple for a long time. Because squalene is a body's own substance, the substance is well absorbed by the skin. Amaranth oil absorbs quickly and is therefore very suitable as a serum or daily moisturizer.

Supports hair growth

Your hair also enjoys the substance squalene, because it nourishes and cares for the scalp. In addition, Amaranth oil contains a lot of lysine, a natural amino acid that supports hair growth and makes your hair stronger. This prevents split ends and frizzy hair. Massage the oil into your scalp to nourish and moisturize the hair follicles or knead a little of the oil into the ends of the hair for a beautiful shine.

What is so special about it?

Squalene has been used for many years in the beauty industry, where it was originally extracted from the liver oil of sharks. Fortunately, this is becoming less and less common and we are working with vegetable sources of this nourishing and caring substance, such as amaranth.
