Chia seed oil, certified organic
Cold-pressed, organic chia seed oil is derived from the seeds of Salvia hispanica, a plant native to Central and South America. Used for centuries by the Aztecs and Mayans, chia seeds were prized for their nutritional and functional benefits. In modern skincare and haircare, chia seed oil has gained popularity for its lightweight texture and rich concentration of essential fatty acids. Extracted through cold pressing, this method ensures the oil retains its natural antioxidants, vitamins, and beneficial compounds without the use of heat or solvents.

Haircare Uses
