Chia Oil

Whatsapp Order

Chia Oil is a cold-pressed, nutrient-rich oil derived from the seeds of the Salvia hispanica plant, native to Central and South America. This light, fast-absorbing oil is celebrated for its exceptionally high content of omega-3 fatty acids (especially alpha-linolenic acid), antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients. It has a mild, nutty aroma and is typically golden in color.

Due to its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Chia Oil is used extensively in cosmetics, personal care, nutraceuticals, and food products. It helps support skin barrier function, reduce redness, and improve skin elasticity and hydration. In food and dietary supplements, it’s valued for its cardiovascular, brain, and skin health benefits.
