Inca Inchi®

The oil comes from the seeds of Plukenetia volubilis growing in Peru in the Amazon region. It is 100% vegetable oil without the presence of proteins or carbohydrates. The hulled seeds are cold-pressed to release approximately 80% of the oil.

Inca Inchi® is the richest oil in omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid maintain and restore the lipid balance of the skin. In cosmetics, this substance is used for hair, skin and stretch marks care. It regenerates the skin, leaving it hydrated, unified and flexible. It restores damaged tissue, smooths fine wrinkles and scars, and stimulates and improves collagen formation.

It repairs the hair by enveloping the cuticle and smoothing its scales. The hair is then supple, silky soft and voluminous. It is suitable for itchy, scaly and chronically dry skin.
