Chia Seed Oil
Chia Seed Oil
A light, pale oil pressed from chia seeds — one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, replenishing and barrier-supporting for dry, dehydrated skin. Hover any measure to see where chia sits on the scale.
What it is
Chia seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of Salvia hispanica, a flowering plant in the mint family native to Central America. It's one of the few plant oils dominated by omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid.
That high omega-3 content makes it replenishing and barrier-supporting for dry, dehydrated skin — though, like all polyunsaturated-rich oils, it's best kept fresh and is often paired with more stable bases.

How we use it
Chia is our plant omega-3 boost — we add it where a blend wants replenishing support for dry or dehydrated skin.
Because its omega-3 is delicate, we pair it with steadier base oils and keep our blends fresh.
