Kamelya Sacha Inchi Oil

Description and Uses of Sacha Inchi Oil

Sacha Inchi Oil (Plukenetia volubilis) is extracted from the seeds of an Amazonian plant cultivated for centuries for its exceptional richness in omega-3, 6, and 9. Traditionally used by Peruvian populations for its nourishing benefits, it stands out today as a high-quality cosmetic ingredient, recognized for its softening and revitalizing properties.

Its light texture and dry feel allow for rapid absorption, without leaving a greasy film. Sacha Inchi Oil helps to visibly improve the appearance of dry or dull skin and to provide a sensation of comfort to fragile areas. Rich in natural antioxidants, it helps to maintain the suppleness and radiance of the complexion and offers an apparent restorative action on skin lacking vitality.

Integrated into hair care, it supports the shine and softness of hair, while promoting scalp balance. Its lightweight effect also makes it ideal for nourishing and strengthening nails.
