Amaranth Oil

Ingredient Name: Amaranth Oil (Amaranthus cruentus and Amaranthus hypochondriacus)

What is it? Amaranth oil is extracted from the seed of an ancient grain traced back to the Mayans and Aztecs. Touted for its impressive nutrient profile, amaranth oil contains B vitamins, vitamin E, and a high amount of essential fatty acids. It is also considered to be the best plant source of squalene, a powerful anti-inflammatory, cell growth enhancer, and anti-allergenic compound. Amaranth oil is particularly useful in allergy-caused skin conditions, but is effective in treating all irritating skin conditions, including rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis.*
