Kiwifruit Seed Oil is extracted from the seeds of Actinidia Chinensis. It contains more than 60% Alpha Linolenic Acid (Omega 3, ALA) which is an Essential Fatty Acid that our body is unable to produce and should therefore be present in our diet for the maintenance of good health.
Kiwifruit Seed Oil is ideally suited for skin and hair care products as the high concentration of ALA helps to maintain moisture. It is a classic anti- ageing product and an important ingredient in dermatitis formulations. It combines with protein and cholesterol to form living membranes that hold the body cells together. Kiwifruit Seed Oil provides a natural source of energy and helps to maintain resilience and lubrication of all cells.
In cosmetic products, oils high in omega-3 and omega-6 acids are useful for treating sensitive, dry, scaly and chapped skin. They help to maintain moisture, support skin membrane function and skin elasticity, are useful in case of atopic dermatitis and impure skin. They act against hyper-pigmentation and age spots and are generally used in cosmetic formulas that are for regenerating purposes in the skin.
