Our organically crafted Sacha Inchi Oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the star-shaped Plukenetia volubilis fruit, commonly called Mountain Peanuts or Inca Peanuts. Native women in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest have used this miracle oil for centuries in cosmetic applications as a skin humectant, protectant, emollient as well as in anti-aging applications as it restores the lipid layer in human skin.

Because of its high concentration of omega-3 Alpha-Linolenic Acid, Sacha Inchi Oil is an excellent choice for use in regenerative cosmetics, anti-aging and hair care products. The phytosterols Beta-Sitosterol and Stigmasterol have a regenerative effect and reduce Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) making it especially well suited for use in regenerative, moisturizing products for sensitive skin.
