Benefits

Rich in healthy fatty acids

Sacha Inchi Oil contains a lot of omega 3 and omega 6, healthy fatty acids that the body does not produce itself and must obtain through food. Many people have a deficiency of these fatty acids, or an excess of omega 6, because many oils contain more omega 6 than omega 3. In Sacha Inchi Oil, the amount of omega 6 and omega 3 is almost equal, making it both a wonderful superfood and a nourishing ingredient for the skin.

For responsible cholesterol

A lot of research is currently being done into the effect of Sacha Inchi Oil on cholesterol, but so far Sacha Inchi Oil seems to contribute to a responsible cholesterol level.

Cares for dry and sensitive skin

Sacha Inchi Oil is high in antioxidants and is a source of vitamins A and E. These rich ingredients help to nourish and repair dry, sensitive skin. The oil absorbs quickly and is easily absorbed, so that no greasy film remains on the skin. So you can apply your makeup directly over the oil!

Anti-aging for mature skin

Sacha Inchi Oil nourishes the skin and keeps it elastic. The high amount of antioxidants in the oil helps to protect the skin from external influences, which slows down the aging process of the skin.

Nourishes the hair

Sacha Inchi Oil is a wonderful conditioner for the hair. The oil softens the hair and promotes its natural shine and smoothness. The oil is also suitable for sensitive scalps and can deeply nourish them for a healthy hair bunch.

How do you use it?

In the kitchen

The oil is not intended for frying, but it is delicious in dressings and sauces or as a superfood in your smoothie. You can use the oil as a substitute for other oils, such as olive oil or flaxseed oil. For example, make hummus with Sacha Inchi Oil instead of olive oil! Sacha Inchi Oil contains even more healthy fatty acids than the famous linseed oil and is more tolerable for many people.

For your face

Warm a few drops of the oil in your hand and apply to your face or dry patches of skin. You can also add the oil to your favorite moisturizer, hair oil or other care product, or use it in your DIY products.

What is so special about it?
