Sacha Inchi Oil in NatureDr8
NatureDr8 is a preservative free natural moisturizer. Found in the heart of NatureDr8, is Inca Inchi®, a specially formulated Sacha Inchi oil that has nourishing and rejuvenating properties for the skin and hair.
The Story of Sacha Inchi Oil
Sacha inchi, also known as Plukenetia volubilis or Inca nut, is currently a perennial plant native to the Amazon rainforest. Originally found in Peru during the ancient pre-Inca era, sacha inchi became a dietary staple. Depictions of the plant were found on ceramics used by the Mochica and Chimu civilizations dating back over 3000 years.
Peruvians started toasting Sacha inchi seeds since eating them raw caused headaches. They also extracted oil from the seeds and used it as a remedy for various illnesses. Sacha inchi’s traditional medicinal uses include the treatment of rheumatic pain by massaging the oil onto inflamed joints.
The fruit of the sacha inchi plant is beautiful with its star-like features, and each fruit usually contains four to seven nut-like seeds, from which Sacha Inchi seed oil is extracted.
Sacha Inchi Oil Composition
The oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (more than 90%). Essential fatty acid composition is about 50% Omega-3 linolenic acid and 40% Omega-6 linoleic acid. Sacha Inchi oil is easily bioaccessible and does not require any preservative due to its high antioxidant properties. It also contains high levels of vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from free radical damage.
Skin Benefits
NatureDr8 is an excellent moisturizer that will improve the health and appearance of your skin. Its benefits also extend to sensitive and inflamed skin such as eczema and psoriasis.
Deep Hydration
Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 essential fatty acids are particularly abundant in Sacha Inchi oil. These fatty acids are essential for preserving the skin’s built-in moisture barrier, stopping water loss, and supplying deep hydration. Your skin feels more soft and well-hydrated as a consequence.
Support for the Skin Barrier
A compromised skin barrier is a common trigger for skin inflammation. Sacha Inchi oil strengthens the skin’s lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss and shielding it from external irritants. A robust skin barrier is crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting overall skin health.
Non-Irritating Formula and Antibacterial
Sacha Inchi oil is gentle on most skin types, including sensitive skin. Its lightweight and non-comedogenic nature make it unlikely to cause irritation or allergies, making it a safe choice for soothing inflamed skin without aggravating existing conditions. Importantly, Sacha Inchi oil has been shown to reduce adherence of Staph Aureus bacteria which has been shown to cause skin infections and eczema flares.
Antioxidant Protection
Antioxidants abundant in the oil include carotenoids and vitamin E. These anti-oxidants help protect the skin from free radical damage caused by pollution, UV radiation, and other environmental factors. This protection may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as other early signs of aging.
Hair Benefits
Hair Repair and Softness: Sacha Inchi oil has clinically proven hair repairing effects. It sheathes the hair scales, closes the cuticle, and makes the hair softer and stronger.
Use of NatureDr8 as a hair mask moisturizer can repair damaged hair, regain volume, and leave the hair supple and light.
How to use: Simply press on the dispenser twice or more to pump out NatureDr8 onto your hands. Then simply massage NatureDr8 onto the scalp and hair. Leave on for 5 minutes or longer up to 1 hour to nourish and repair the hair. Rinse off with your usual shampoo with hair conditioner as needed.
Will Sacha Inchi Oil Clog Pores?
Sacha inchi oil scores a comedogenic rating of 1, meaning it won’t clog pores and is suitable for all skin types.
Summary
The journey through the rich history and myriad benefits of sacha inchi oil has illuminated its extraordinary potential for skincare. From its origins in the Amazon rainforest to its modern-day application in NatureDr8, sacha inchi oil stands as a testament to nature’s healing prowess. With its anti-inflammatory properties, support for the skin barrier, deep hydration, non-irritating nature, and natural healing abilities, sacha inchi oil is a true treasure for those seeking gentle yet effective skincare solutions.
