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 aging process. You can also use the oil as a superfood and flavor enhancer in the kitchen.

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 originally comes from the Amazon, but is now also widely cultivated in Thailand and other areas with a rainforest climate.

Benefits

Rich in healthy fatty acids

Sacha Inchi Oil contains a lot of omega 3 and omega 6, healthy fatty acids that the body cannot produce itself and must obtain through diet. 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 beautiful superfood and a nourishing ingredient for the skin.

For responsible cholesterol

Much research is currently being conducted on the effect of Sacha Inchi Oil on cholesterol, but so far Sacha Inchi Oil appears to contribute to responsible cholesterol levels.

Cares for dry and sensitive skin

Sacha Inchi Oil contains many antioxidants and is a source of vitamin A and E. These rich ingredients help nourish and restore dry, sensitive skin. The oil absorbs quickly and is easily absorbed, so no greasy layer remains on the skin. You can therefore apply your makeup directly over the oil!

Anti-aging 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's aging 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 a healthy head of hair.

How do you use it?

In the kitchen

The oil is not intended for frying, but is delicious in dressings and sauces or as a superfood in your smoothie. You can use the oil as a replacement for other oils, such as olive oil or flaxseed oil. For example, try making hummus with Sacha Inchi Oil instead of olive oil! Sacha Inchi Oil contains even more healthy fatty acids than the renowned flaxseed oil and is better tolerated by many people.

For your face

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

What is so special about it?

Sacha Inchi Oil has an omega 3:omega 6 ratio of 1.4:1. This means that the oil contains more omega 3 than omega 6, unlike many other oils, which contain more omega 6. This makes Sacha Inchi Oil a beautiful oil to use as a source of omega 3 for the body and for the skin.
