About this product


Love-lies-bleeding: the old folk name for amaranth already sounds like a spell. The plant has been cultivated since ancient times and was considered sacred by the Incas and Aztecs, and today its seed oil is widely used and praised for skin care around the world.

This extract is drawn with CO2 from the seeds of Amaranthus caudatus, organically produced in Germany. It is light yellow, with a slightly fruity, earthy aroma, a very faint hint of beets fresh from the garden. Far lighter than pomegranate CO2, it absorbs amazingly quickly. Rich in polyunsaturated fats and omega-6, it is thought to limit water loss from the skin, which makes it an excellent moisturizer for mature skin and for skin left dry by harsh winter weather.

Details

  • Botanical name: Amaranthus caudatus
  • Origin: Germany; organically produced
  • Method: CO2 extraction of the seeds
  • Type: fixed oil
  • Color and aroma: light yellow, slightly fruity and earthy

How to use

Use it at 3 to 10% in skin care. It needs no heating, so you can stir it straight into facial or hand lotions, liquid castile soap or an unscented shower gel, whether it stays on the skin or rinses away. A seed the Aztecs held sacred, for your own winter ritual.
