Chia Seed Oil "Salvia Hispanica" - Vegetable Oil

Chia (Salvia hispanica) is a herbaceous plant from the Lamiaceae family, native to Mexico and Guatemala, where it has been cultivated since pre-Hispanic times. Chia seed oil is obtained through cold pressing of the seeds of this plant, which helps preserve its nutritional and therapeutic properties. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, as well as antioxidant vitamins, minerals, and health-beneficial phytochemicals. Among its properties, its anti-inflammatory, healing, moisturizing, and skin-regenerating effects stand out. Chia oil is used in the cosmetic industry to create creams, lotions, soaps, and shampoos, as it helps keep the skin healthy, soft, and youthful, while also reducing the appearance of wrinkles, spots, and stretch marks. It is also used in cooking as a nutritional supplement and in the preparation of healthy food products, such as breads, cookies, smoothies, and salads.
