- Product Details
- Chia Seed Oil is cold pressed from the seeds and has undergone extensive testing to ensure its high quality. Chia Seed Oil has a light consistency and a subtle nutty aroma. These tiny black seeds are one of the healthiest foods on the planet. They are loaded with antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids that fight aging, soothe inflammation, reduce acne scars and keep skin radiant and healthy. Omega-3 is a natural part of our skin barrier and helps to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. Our bodies don't produce Omega-3, so topical treatments such as Chia Seed Oil can assist in keeping the skin barrier healthy. Chia Seed Oil is also high in Omega-6 (linoleic acid) which can have anti-inflammatory effects. It also contains antioxidants that can keep skin looking healthy.

Linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids are found in lower amounts (Table 2). Chia seeds have greater contents of omega-3 acids than flaxseed.
