chia seed extract

What is chia seed extract?

Chia seeds come from a herbaceous plant in the mint family. These tiny, round seeds, about 2mm wide, were considered valuable by the Aztecs, who offered them to the goddess Chicomecotly, hoping for good harvests.

Today, chia seed oil is popular in natural cosmetics for its numerous benefits. Extracted through cold pressing, this oil contains over 60% omega-3 fatty acids, which boost collagen production, acting as an anti-aging agent by reducing wrinkles, acne, and imperfections, while keeping the skin smooth and youthful. It is ideal for sensitive, dry, and irritated skin due to its high mineral and vitamin content, particularly vitamin E, which has rejuvenating and antioxidant properties.

Additionally, chia seed oil is rich in minerals such as calcium, zinc, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium.
