What is Sacha Inchi Oil (Organic & Cold-Pressed)?

Sacha Inchi Oil is rich in healthy fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin E. The oil is beneficial for sensitive and dry skin and helps slow down the skin ageing process.

Sacha Inchi Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Plukenetia volubilis plant, also known as the Inca nut or sacha peanut. The plant originates from the Amazon, but today it is also widely grown in Thailand and other areas with a rainforest climate.

Benefits

Rich in omega 3 and omega 6

Sacha Inchi Oil contains a high amount of omega 3 and omega 6, polyunsaturated fatty acids. Many oils contain more omega 6 than omega 3. In Sacha Inchi Oil the amounts of omega 6 and omega 3 are almost equal, which makes it a nourishing ingredient for the skin.

Cares for dry and sensitive skin

Sacha Inchi Oil contains a high amount of antioxidants and is a source of vitamins A and E. These rich ingredients help nourish and restore dry, sensitive skin. The oil absorbs quickly and is easily taken up, so no greasy layer is left on the skin. You can therefore apply your make-up directly over the oil!

Anti-ageing for mature skin

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

Nourishes the hair

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

How do you use it?

For your face

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

What makes it so special?

Sacha Inchi Oil has an omega 3:omega 6 ratio of 1.4:1. This means the oil contains more omega 3 than omega 6, unlike many other oils, which contain more omega 6. This makes Sacha Inchi Oil a wonderful oil for the skin.
