Sacha inchi oil, certified organic
Sacha inchi oil is a cold-pressed, virgin oil obtained from the seeds of the sacha inchi plant, traditionally grown in Peru. This certified organic oil is extracted without heat or solvents, helping preserve its naturally occurring fatty acids and its lightweight, fluid texture.
Known for its bright golden colour and distinctive natural aroma, sacha inchi oil has become a popular choice in modern skincare and hair care formulations. It absorbs quickly into the skin, making it well suited to products where a nourishing feel is desired without heaviness or residue.
Its naturally balanced fatty acid profile makes it a versatile oil that blends well with other carrier oils and botanical ingredients, particularly in facial oils, emulsions, and lightweight hair treatments.
