Features: Chia Seed Virgin Oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing botanical oil valued for its moisturising, skin-conditioning, and antioxidant-rich properties. Popular in natural skincare and haircare formulations, it helps support smooth, radiant-looking skin while improving softness and shine in hair products. Its silky texture and non-greasy finish make it ideal for facial serums, moisturisers, body oils, scalp treatments, and modern glow-focused cosmetic formulations.
Properties/Benefits: Chia Seed Virgin Oil contains naturally occurring linolenic, linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, which contribute to its nourishing and emollient properties. These fatty acids help support the skin barrier, improve moisture retention, and leave the skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.
Naturally rich in antioxidants including vitamin E and chlorogenic acid, Chia Seed Virgin Oil helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and supports a healthy-looking complexion.

Did You Know? Chia was considered so valuable in ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures that it was once used as a form of currency alongside cacao beans. The word “chia” comes from the Mayan word for “strength,” and warriors traditionally consumed chia before long journeys and battles. Remarkably, chia seeds can absorb up to 10–12 times their weight in water, forming a natural gel-like coating that helped desert travellers stay hydrated for extended periods.
