Amaranth oil, source of squalene, Pimenta, 100 ml

Amaranth (Amaranthus) is a type of annual plant, a close relative of the various types of styrus found in our country, which grow mostly as weeds. It is characterized by a height of approximately 2 meters, with brightly colored leaves (colors vary from dark red, through crimson red, orange, pink and even white). America is considered his homeland.

Health Benefits:

Amaranth oil is extremely valuable because of its high squalene content. It is the richest natural plant source of squalene. Its composition also includes vitamins E and F, phytosterols, unsaturated fatty acids.

Squalene
Biochemically, squalene is an acyclic polyunsaturated liquid carbon that dissolves in most organic solvents. The substance plays an important role in the metabolism of steroids and triterpenoids.

Often, squalene is called the "oxygen vitamin" because it reacts with water (and we all know that a person consists of 80% water), releasing oxygen and saturating the cells with it.

Taking squalene has a number of health benefits, including:
- stimulates the work of the immune system;
- contributes to cell rejuvenation and fights free radicals;
- purifies the blood;
- improves the work of the gastrointestinal tract;
- normalizes the production of hormones.

Cosmetic benefits of squalene
Squalene is a lipid produced naturally by your own skin cells. Unfortunately, the amount of squalene your body produces decreases with age. The principle is the same as with the production of collagen or hyaluronic acid.

In fact, about 12% of our skin's surface is made of squalene at birth, but between the ages of 20 and 30, its production begins to decline rapidly, which is why topical application is so important.

Squalane balances sebum production, providing enough moisture to keep skin clean and healthy. Although it has an oil texture, it's lightweight and non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores. It penetrates them and improves the skin at a cellular level, but does not feel heavy on the skin.

It helps prevent sun damage that has an effect on premature skin aging. It is becoming an increasingly common ingredient in natural anti-wrinkle creams, and for good reason. Squalane fights skin-damaging free radicals that contribute to the signs of aging. It serves as a moisturizer that increases the hydration of the skin. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect that can alleviate skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema.

Last but not least, squalane helps boost circulation, which promotes collagen formation for tighter, plumper skin!
