Amaranth Oil The Gold of the Incas A naturally occurring raw material with effective ingredients (Squalene, linoleic acid) The amaranth plant (which belongs to the amaranth family) is a tall, annual plant, which originally grew in South America. The amaranth plant is now found all over the world and is cultivated as a crop. Up to 150,000 grains form on the stems of each plant. Both oil and flour are extracted from these grains. Amaranth flour has already found a use in the food industry. It has a high protein content, the quality of which is better in comparison with the most varied types of cereals. The flour is also gluten free. This makes it suitable for people who have a gluten allergy (celiac disease) and for people with skin problems. The oil (only 5-6% of which is contained in the seeds) is extracted using CO2 extraction, which protects the materials (no solvents). Amaranth oil has a remarkably high content of natural squalene. The table below presents a comparison of the amount of squalene in amaranth oil in comparison to other cosmetic oils: Approx. Amount of squalene in % Amaranth Oil 5,0 – 8,0 Olive Oil 0,4 - 0,8 Corn Oil 0,03 Groundnut Oil 0,03 Sunflower Oil 0,01 Coconut Oil 0,002 Ingredients of Amaranth Oil Amaranth oil is notable for its high squalene and linoleic acid content. The ingredients are given below: • Palmitic acid (C16:0) 15-25 % • Oleic acid (C18:1n9) 15-30 % • Linoleic acid (C18:2n6) 40-50 % • Stearic acid (C18:1) 2-5 % • Other fatty acids 3-6 % • Squalene 5-8 % • Natural vitamins E 5-10 mg/100 g • Saturated fatty acids approx. 20-24 % • Mono-unsaturated fatty acids approx. 20 % • Poly-unsaturated fatty acids approx. 50 % Characteristics of the product Amaranth oil supports skin regeneration and helps the skin's protective layer to be renewed. This is because of the composition of the oil and its high squalene content. It activates cellular protection, increases the skin’s ability to retain moisture and minimises transepidermal water loss. Amaranth oil soothes, regenerates and cares for the skin. It absorbs UV rays and protects against UV irritations and free radicals – the anti-aging effect. Amaranth oil is suitable for treatment of chronic skin dryness. It also has proven antiinflammatory qualities. It smoothes and softens the skin, making it more elastic and relaxed. Wrinkles are decreased.
