Sacha Inchi Oil
Sacha Inchi Oil (Plukenetia volubilis)
Sacha Inchi Oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich carrier oil cold-pressed from the seeds of Plukenetia volubilis, a star-shaped fruit native to the Peruvian Amazon, where it has been used for generations.
It's exceptionally rich in omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, along with the phytosterols beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol and a good natural tocopherol (vitamin E) content. This profile has been reported to help support the skin's lipid barrier and reduce moisture loss, leaving skin feeling soft, smooth and nourished.
Lightweight and fast-absorbing with no greasy residue, it's well suited to facial, body and hair care formulations, including anti-aging, regenerative and sensitive-skin blends, and is a popular addition to creams, serums and hair care products.
Botanical Name: Plukenetia volubilis (Seed Oil)
Safety information: for external use only. Generally well tolerated on all skin types; a patch test is recommended before first use, as with any new oil. See the Safety Data Sheet and Ingredient & Allergen Statement in the Product Documents section below for full detail.

Uses ▼
Facial and body care: apply a few drops directly to skin, or blend into a serum, cream or lotion base. Its light, fast-absorbing texture and low comedogenic rating make it well suited to facial use, including on sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Hair and scalp care: massage a small amount into the scalp and hair, or blend into a hair mask or conditioner, to help nourish and condition.
Massage and blending: use on its own as a lightweight massage oil, or blend with other carrier oils to adjust texture and absorption.
Formulations: a popular addition to anti-aging, regenerative and sensitive-skin creams, serums and hair care products, due to its omega-3 and phytosterol content.
Blends Well With
| Sacha Inchi Oil blends readily with other lightweight carrier oils, including Jojoba Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Rosehip Oil and Argan Oil — a common combination in anti-aging and mature-skin serum formulations. As a general-purpose nourishing base, it also pairs well with skin-supportive essential oils such as Lavender, Frankincense, Geranium and Rose, as a broad aromatherapy-formulation guideline rather than a documented sacha-inchi-specific pairing. |
About This Oil
