Description and Uses of Chia Oil
Chia Oil (Salvia hispanica) comes from an herbaceous plant native to Mexico and Guatemala, cultivated since Mesoamerican times. Appreciated for the richness of its seeds in omega-3 and antioxidants, it is now recognized in cosmetics for its softening qualities and light finish.
Cold-pressed, it helps provide suppleness and comfort to the skin, visibly improve the appearance of dry areas, and promote a natural radiance. Its fluid texture absorbs easily without a greasy feel to the touch.
In hair care, Chia Oil nourishes and revives lengths, for softer and shinier-looking hair.
