Imagine an oil exceptionally rich in omega 3, 6 and 9. An oil with a thousand virtues:healing, soothing and fortifying. An oil that protects against ultraviolet damage and helps keep skin elastic and well hydrated.

This miraculous oil exists and although its virtues have remained hidden for years deep in the Amazon rainforest, now the biggest brands of organic cosmetic care bring it to you on a silver platter!

This treasure of benefits is Organic Sacha Inchi Oil .

Sacha in... what?

Sacha inqi ® (trademark registered by Natura Biologica Cosmetics) or Sacha inchi is a Peruvian oilseed appreciated and widely used by the native peoples of the Amazon for its many contributions.

Translated from the Quechua of the Incas, Sacha Inchi means "wild seeds" and recently seed of the Incas. Wild Seeds, due to the fact that despite its good reputation, this climbing plant has not been the most cultivated by its loyal consumers. And this, despite repetitive harvesting for the food, cosmetic and medicinal consumption of indigenous peoples.

This mountain almond was completely forgotten for several centuries and very few knew about its benefits.

It was not until much later, at the dawn of the second millennium, that this beloved Plukenetia Volubilis was honored.

Now cultivated and present on the market , its organic farming recognized plantation and its ethical trade make the happiness of its producers.

The virtues of the Peruvian mountain almond

At first glance, its dried form is reminiscent of star anise or Chinese star anise. But make no mistake, it is indeed the famous Inca seed from which is extracted a natural, rare and precious oil with the most extraordinary cosmetic properties .

This seed can be consumed in many forms:powdered, roasted... but the most interesting currently remains the oil that is extracted from it.

Studies show that Sacha Inchi is one of the best oilseeds, due to its composition and nutritional qualities:a high content of Vitamins E and acids omega 3 (more than 48%), omega 6 (36%) and omega 9 (8%) fats; a high digestibility (more than 96%) as well as a great richness in essential and non-essential amino acids in sufficient quantities for health...
