Quinoa is an Andean plant from the surroundings of Lake Titicaca, located between Peru and Bolivia. Since pre-Hispanic civilizations, it was cultivated and used because it represented a sacred food for the Incas.

Quinoa seeds are obtained from the plant from which an oil is extracted that contains a high concentration of essential fatty acids, such as Omega 3, 6 and 9. These are important for brain development, the functioning of the brain system, regulate blood pressure and prevent heart disease by lowering cholesterol.

Applying the oil directly to the skin, it represents a powerful anti-aging agent. It is also of great help in the healing of small wounds, helps treat acne, provides hydration and nutrition to the scalp, among other benefits.
