Chia Seed Extract (Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract) - Certified Organic Cultivation
Chia seeds (Salvia Hispanica) have already been cultivated by the Mayas, Aztecs and other ancient Andean peoples in South America. In the language of the Mayas Chia meant strength. Chia seeds as a highly concentrated energy boost were higher estimated than gold. With their high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, proteins, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, they are a true treasure of nature. Chia seeds are the richest known plant source of the omega-3 fatty acids. They have a 30% higher level of antioxidants than blueberries. In addition to tocopherols (vitamin E), they are high in provitamin A, vitamin B1, B2, B3, magnesium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, copper, molybdenum, and niacin.
The polyunsaturated fatty acids support a smooth skin, counteract blemishes, acne and wrinkles, strengthening the skin barrier. Vitamin B3 (niacin) is a proven anti-inflammatory substance soothing the skin, alleviating redness, dandruff and eczema. The natural zinc content of chia seeds has antibacterial properties, helps to balance the skin's sebum production and regenerates the cell tissue.
Our chia seed extract is highly pure, gently and solvent-free obtained from CO2-extraction. The valuable ingredients are well absorbed by the skin without leaving a greasy feel. Chia seed strengthens the hair fiber, locks in moisture, provides healthy hair shine and protects against hair breakage.
