Cosmetic properties of the oil

Amaranth oil is a unique product. Its useful properties have been known to mankind for thousands of years. Ancient Aztecs believed that amaranth brings a person closer to the gods by the strength of its effect on the body and mind. It is believed that it was the grains of amaranth that helped the Indians to be so strong and agile. The oil extracted from these grains is really unique due to a special, rare form of vitamin E in its composition and squalene, which actively participates in the metabolic processes of our skin.

What is squalene so useful for your skin? Let's find out. The main cosmetic function of squalene is to maintain optimal skin moisture, enrich skin cells with oxygen and protect them from free radicals. All these properties significantly slow down skin aging and rejuvenate the skin. We get this result thanks to the synergy of squalene and the high content of vitamin E, unsaturated fatty acids, supplemented with vitamins of groups B and D, as well as carotenoids in the composition of amaranth oil.

Since squalene is one of the natural components of the skin, it helps amaranth oil to be quickly absorbed and not leave a greasy sheen on the skin. Based on all the above-mentioned advantages of the oil, we can confidently state that it has a strong rejuvenating and regenerating effect on the skin, moisturizes it and makes it firmer. This oil is recommended for the care of mature and fading skin of the face, neck, décolleté and the whole body.
