Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil description

_Plukenetia volubilis_ seed oil offers an abundance of skin-nourishing fatty acids, anti-aging antioxidants, and moisturizing properties due to its emollient nature. This plant oil is free of volatile fragrance compounds, which is good news for skin (because fragrance poses a risk of irritation). Among its many beneficial compounds, _Plukenetia volubilis_ seed oil is rich in linolenic and linoleic acids, both of which are noted in research for their skin-soothing properties and ability to help skin make more ceramides. Additionally, _Plukenetia volubilis_ seed oil is a source of vitamin E that can help defend skin from external stressors. Native to Peru, Sacha inchi is another name for the _Plukenetia volubilis_ plant. It may also be referred to as mountain peanut, Inca peanut, or wild peanut. Due to its edible nature and long history of use in Peru, _Plukenetia volubilis_ seed oil is considered safe for skin. Typical use levels of this plant oil in cosmetics range from 1–5%, although larger amounts may be used depending on the type of product.
