What Is Inca Inchi Oil?

Inca Inchi oil is extracted from the star-shaped seeds of the Plukenetia volubilis vine, native to the Peruvian Amazon. This remarkable oil contains one of the highest concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids found in any plant source.

The oils exceptional omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) content, along with omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, makes it highly effective for nourishing and strengthening the skin barrier. It absorbs well despite its rich nutrient profile.

Inca Inchi oil is particularly beneficial for dry, mature, or compromised skin that requires intensive fatty acid replenishment.
