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 beautiful oil to incorporate into skincare 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 occurs naturally in Siberia and has been used for centuries because of its nourishing and strengthening properties.

Benefits

Rich source of squalene

Amaranth Oil contains a large amount of squalene, an oil that your body produces naturally in the skin to keep it supple and hydrated. If you suffer from dry or rough 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 substance naturally produced by the body, 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 benefits from the substance squalene, because it nourishes and cares for the scalp. Additionally, Amaranth Oil contains a lot of lysine, a natural amino acid that supports hair growth and makes your hair stronger. This way you prevent split ends and frizzy hair. Massage the oil into your scalp to nourish and hydrate the hair follicles or work a little of the oil into the hair ends for a beautiful shine.

What is so special about it?

Squalene has been used in the beauty industry for years, where it was originally extracted from shark liver oil. Fortunately, this is becoming less common and work is being done with plant-based sources of this nourishing and caring substance, such as amaranth.
