PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A yellow to dark yellow oil with a gentle nutty smell that is produced by cold pressing the organic seeds of the Chia plant and then filtering.
This is 99.5% Cold Pressed Chia Seed Oil and we have added 0.35% Vitamin E as a powerful antioxidant to keep the oil from oxidising. That Vitamin E is suspended in 0.15% Sunflower Seed Oil to make it pourable.
- Use 1% to 100%.
- Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
- It is not heat stable so should be used in Stage 3 (cool stage) when making creams and lotions. We recommend storing it in the fridge when it is not in use.
HOW TO USE IT
- Chia Seed Oil is an incredible oil that is rich in Omega 3 which is excellent for skin conditioning and restoring the skin's natural barrier. It will reduce scaly skin and dryness and help to reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).
- It sinks in quickly to the skin without any greasiness and leaves the skin feeling velvety soft. Use in anti aging serums, eye creams and body lotions.
- Excellent to use in a massage oil bend as it not only delivers a highly nutritious level of Omega 3 but will also improve the texture of heavier oils like Castor Oils and Shea Butter that are desirable to use but can feel too greasy unless blended with drier feeling oils like Chia Seed.
- Containing a high content of protein, Niacin, Thiamin, Zinc, Iron and Vitamins A, B1, B2 and B3 Chia Seed Oil is a superb oil for cuticle oils and hand creams.
- It’s very effective on all skin types including sensitive skin as it feels so silky and soft. This quality also makes it ideal for acne prone skin.
- Chia Seed Oil improves the look of the skin and smooths fine lines and wrinkles leaving the skin with a fresh and more youthful appearance.
- Good levels of phytosterols mean that this oil is very calming on the skin. Use in products for eczema prone and psoriasis prone skin types. Chia Seed Oil is excellent to use in beards oils to condition the skin as well as soften the bristly beard.
- Ideal to use in baby products especially when blended with other soft oils like Apricot Kernel Oil and Rice Bran Oil.
- Excellent to use on dry and damaged hair. It softens the hair shaft without greasy after feel or sticky residue.
- Chia Seed Oil locks moisture into the hair and reduces static making the hair easier to comb or brush.
- It conditions the hair and protects it from any further damage without reducing the natural shine or making the hair feel heavy. Use in treatment packs, conditions and hair serums.
