The products' delicate fragrance derives from its essential oils, avoiding the use of artificial ingredients.

PLUKENETIA VOLUBILIS, THE INGREDIENT THAT MAKES UNICA UNIQUE

plukenetia volubilis plukenetia volubilis

This plant comes from the Peruvian Amazon forest, its precious oil used since Inca times and from where its name, Inca Inchi or Sacha Inchi, derives. Its high levels of polyunsaturated fats and protein make it an effective aid in the integration of omega 3 (alpha-linoleic acid) and omega 6 (linoleic) fatty acids in respective concentrations of >45% and >30%.
These are particularly effective for the prevention of water evaporation from the epithelial tissues and hence the maintenance and restoration of skin hydration and protection from environmental elements.
The omega 9 (oleic acid) maintains the suppleness of the cell membranes thereby assisting the absorption of the nutrients by the epidermis, rendering it soft and supple. Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a powerful antioxidant preventing cutaneous ageing and impeding the action of free radicals.

plukenetia volubilisFatty acids are fundamental in the formation of nerve tissues and cell membranes and also important for the regulation of our body's hormone production. Since the body cannot produce this alone, it needs to be introduced through a balanced diet. The Plukenetia Volubilis oil is used as a dietary supplement and is also very well absorbed through the skin.
