Inca Inchi is a peruvian Amazonia plant known by local people for thousands of years. Inca Inchi oil is obtained by cold pressure of seeds followed by a mechanical clarification by decantation, filtration and deodorisation.From all known natural sources, Inca Inchi oil is the richest oil in Omega 3, compared with oils of all oleaginous seeds used all over the world. It is the richest in unsaturated fatty acids. They can reach 94% of its composition.Inca Inchi oil is used in dietary thanks to its interesting ratio between Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic) and Omega 6 (linoleic).

The culture and industrialisation of ORGANIC LIPACTIVE INCA INChI® WO is the subject of a development program in Peru (OmEGA program) associated with the Amazonian reforestation. This is a fair and sustainable trade, involving thousands of families living in the Peruvian Amazonia.

ORGANIC LIPACTIVE INCA INChI® WO is particularly rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids and more particularly in Omega 3.u Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic acid): 45 - 60%u Omega 6 (alpha-linoleic acid): 25 - 37%u Omega 9 (Oleic acid): 8 - 12%u palmitic acid: 3 - 5%u stearic acid: 1.5 - 3.5%

Linoleic and linolenic are Essential Fatty Acids as well as their eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DhA) derivatives are essential to keep and maintain good health. They allow a cholesterol level reduction and they participate in the cell membranes structure.In topic application, the unsaturated fatty acids of Inca Inchi oil allow preserving the cutaneous lipidic balance, avoiding the keratinisation troubles and improving healing. The linoleic and linolenic acids are essential for the epidermis lipidic barrier formation. In addition, the linoleic acid allows decreasing comedons and irritation associated with them. ORGANIC LIPACTIVE INCA INChI® WO canplay the cutaneous regulator role.
