Inca Inchi Oil

Inca Inchi Oil is a nutrient-dense botanical extract sourced from the seeds of the Plukenetia Volubilis plant, is naturally rich in essential fatty acids, including omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9. These lipids closely resemble the skin’s own protective oils, making them a key active ingredient to replenish a weakened and damaged skin barrier.

Its lightweight yet restorative properties allow it to absorb efficiently enhancing cell communication. Inca Inchi Oil plays a key role in replenishing lipid levels, enhancing hydration retention and promoting a smoother, softer skin, particularly beneficial for those experiencing dryness, flakiness, tightness, or compromised barrier function.

With natural antioxidant properties, it also helps defend against environmental stressors that contribute to dullness and premature aging.
