Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil description

_Salvia hispanica_ seed oil, also known as chia seed oil, is a non-fragrant plant oil whose seeds are a rich source of fatty acids. Oil constitutes roughly 30-40% of chia seeds, and chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega- 3 fatty acids (as skin-soothing, barrier replenishing alpha-linolenic acid). Chia seed oil is also a rich source of linoleic acid (omega- 6 fatty acid), as well as phenolic acids and isoflavones, two potent sources of antioxidants. In skin care, this means chia seed oil has excellent moisturising properties, helping restore and improve skin’s appearance, as well as anti-ageing properties due to its ability to combat free radical damage. Chia seed oil is also an excellent addition to one’s diet, as it’s been shown to improve overall health when ingested.
