Amaranth Seed Oil

High in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, Amaranth Seed Oil penetrates the skin quickly without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin. Its ability to penetrate deep into the skin tissue helps it transport other ingredients that cannot penetrate through the skin on their own. The rich Squalene content imparts anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidation properties to Amaranth Seed Oil apart from being a natural skin identical chemical that forms a protective, waterproof barrier to TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss) aiding moisture retention. Moreover, Its nutrient-dense composition gives Amaranth Oil excellent skin regeneration properties, which may be especially important for those who suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis or dermatitis.

Amaranth Seed Oil is extracted using Supercritical CO2 extraction (5-8% yield) from the seeds of Amaranthus caudatus [Family: Amaranthaceae] native to South America but now widely cultivated all across the world as a crop. Amaranth Oil is very rich in natural Tocopherols and Tocotrienols (Vitamin E complex), Plant Sterols (Phytosterols), Carotenoids and most importantly, Squalene, a lipid found naturally in the skin.

Known for its super emollient and deeply hydrating properties, Amaranth Oil can naturally help increase hair's elasticity and consistently restore shine to dull, damaged hair. Amaranth Seed Oil also makes a fabulous conditioner for hair and can help to keep the scalp healthy when used as a pre-shampoo oil treatment.
