The Miracle from Nature's Amazon Rainforests: Inca Inchi Oil
The world of skincare is enriched every day with new and powerful ingredients offered by nature. As Tanura, in line with our vision of using the purest and most effective ingredients in our formulations, we are putting the spotlight on one of the most remarkable components of recent years: Plukenetia volubilis seed oil, also known as Inca Inchi oil. Coming from the depths of the Amazon rainforests, this precious oil is not just a moisturizer, but a "superfood" that provides the essential building blocks the skin needs.
What is Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil (Inca Inchi Oil)?
Plukenetia volubilis is a vine species native to the Amazon region of Peru that bears star-shaped fruits. The oil obtained from the seeds of this plant through the cold-press method is referred to in the cosmetic world as "Inca Inchi" or "Sacha Inchi." Known and used since the ancient Inca civilization, this plant has been scientifically proven to be one of the richest plant-based sources of Omega-3 in the world.
The high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, Vitamin E (tocopherol), and Vitamin A it contains are the key features that distinguish it from other vegetable oils. Thanks to its lightweight texture, it is easily absorbed by the skin and provides deep care without leaving a greasy feeling. In the Tanura philosophy, this ingredient is considered one of the most valuable actives that nourishes the skin without disrupting its natural balance.
The Role of Inca Inchi Oil in Skincare
The primary purpose of using Plukenetia volubilis seed oil in cosmetic formulations is to increase the skin's resistance to external factors and support its healthy appearance. Here are the cosmetic benefits of this special oil:
- Supports the Skin Barrier: The intense Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids it contains help protect and strengthen the skin's lipid barrier. This reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and helps the skin achieve a plumper appearance.
- Provides Antioxidant Protection: Thanks to its high Vitamin E content, it creates a strong defense mechanism against free radicals. By protecting the skin against the negative effects of factors such as environmental pollution and stress, it contributes to reducing the appearance of premature aging signs.
- Maintains Moisture Balance: By supporting the skin's natural moisture balance, it alleviates feelings of dryness and tightness. It offers a moisturizing and soothing effect, especially for sensitive and dry skin types.
- Smoothes the Skin Surface: With its emollient properties, it improves skin texture, supports elasticity, and helps achieve a radiant, healthy appearance.
Inca Inchi oil becomes an indispensable part of your daily care routine by providing the nutrients the skin needs directly and effectively. The benefits offered by this powerful botanical source provide a natural approach that supports the skin's own capacity for renewal and protection.
Tanura products containing Inca Inchi Oil carry the full potential of this valuable raw material into our formulations, offering the purest and most effective support on your skin's natural beauty journey. Discover the nourishment and protection your skin needs with Tanura quality.
