How sacha inchi oil gives you soft, glowing and healthy skin

Sacha Inchi originates from the Peruvian rainforest and is known as the “peanut of the Incas”. The plant from which the seeds come, belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family and has been used by local people for centuries due to its high nutritional content. It is also called mountain peanut, sacha peanut or inca inchi. After several research studies, Sacha Inchi has been recognized as one of nature’s richest sources of plant-based protein and essential fatty acids.

Sacha Inchi oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids

Sacha Inchi seeds contain a whopping 49-54% oil. The oil extracted from the seeds is very rich in unsaturated fatty acids. The oil is light and does not clog pores, making it ideal for dry, mature and sensitive skin.

What makes Sacha Inchi oil unique is its content of both omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid), omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-9 (oleic acid). It is one of the few plant oils that contains so many unsaturated fatty acids at once.

Omega fatty acids help the skin retain moisture

Omega fatty acids are known to help the skin maintain its natural moisture balance, which counteracts dry and rough skin.

• Omega-3 has an anti-inflammatory effect and reduces redness, irritation and skin problems such as acne and eczema.
  
  

• Omega-6 strengthens the skin's barrier, creating a protective shield against wind, sun and dirt. It also helps the skin retain moisture, keeping it healthy, soft and strong.

Anti-aging: Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles

Packed with beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants like vitamin E, this oil protects the skin from sun damage and pollution. It is a lightweight oil that quickly penetrates the skin, leaving it soft, glowing and nourished without being greasy.

The oil provides intensive moisture, strengthens skin elasticity and smoothes fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look firmer and more youthful. Sacha Inchi oil is therefore one of the best natural oils for facial care.

Sacha Inchi oil is also good for baby skin

You can safely use Sacha Inchi oil on your baby's skin. Babies' skin is thin and sensitive and has not yet developed a strong protective barrier. A natural oil like Sacha Inchi is full of fatty acids and antioxidants that protect the skin from drying out, wind and cold, while keeping the skin soft and supple.

Sacha Inchi oil has a soothing effect and can be beneficial for redness, dry patches and diaper rash. It is also perfect for baby massage as it is light and quickly absorbed by the skin.
