Chia seed oil, certified organic

Chia seed oil, certified organic

Cold-pressed organic chia seed oil is obtained from the seeds of Salvia hispanica, a plant native to Central and South America. Chia seeds were valued by the Aztecs and Mayans and are now widely used in modern skincare and haircare formulations for their lightweight texture and naturally high content of essential fatty acids.

About Chia Seed Oil

Chia seed oil is extracted from the small nutrient-dense seeds of Salvia hispanica. The oil is produced through cold pressing, a gentle extraction method that helps preserve naturally occurring fatty acids and antioxidants without the use of heat or solvents.

The oil has a light texture and absorbs well into the skin, making it a popular ingredient in facial oils, serums, creams, and haircare formulations. Its naturally high omega-3 content makes it particularly valued in cosmetic formulations designed to support skin conditioning and hydration.
