Dive deep into the heart of the Amazon rainforest with Ophelia’s Sacha Inchi Oil. Extracted from the seeds of the star-shaped Sacha Inchi plant, this precious oil is a gem from the indigenous wisdom of South America, renowned for its unparalleled benefits for both hair and skin. Sacha Inchi oil is one of the lesser known, but very powerful oils. This potent oil originates from the Amazon rainforest in Peru and made from Plukenetia volubilis plant nuts. Sacha Inchi contains anti-oxidants as well as fatty acids which can reduce the appearance of age spots, wrinkles and blemishes on the skin.
Using Ophelia Oils, whether on your hair or skin, Here’s a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to make the most of these all-natural oils:
For Hair:
Application: Start by applying a few drops of the Ophelia Hair Oil directly onto your scalp. These oils can be applied to either dry or damp hair, depending on your preference. Use your fingertips to massage the oil gently and evenly into your scalp, making sure to cover all areas.
Distribution: Once your scalp is thoroughly massaged, spread the oil through the length of your hair. If your hair is long, you might need a few extra drops. Pay particular attention to the ends of your hair, as they are usually the most damaged part.
Rest: Leave the oil in your hair for at least 30 minutes to allow it to penetrate deeply. For best results, you can leave the oil in your hair for up to 4 hours. The longer the oil is left on, the more effective it will be.
Overnight Treatment: If you prefer, you can also use the Ophelia Hair Oil as an overnight treatment. Simply apply the oil following the steps above, then wrap your hair in a towel or wear a shower cap to avoid staining your pillow, and leave it on while you sleep.
Wash Off: Rinse off the oil using your regular shampoo. You may need to shampoo twice to ensure all the oil is removed. You’ll notice that your hair feels smoother, shinier, and healthier.
Styling: The Ophelia Hair Oil can also be used as a styling oil. Just take a few drops, rub it between your palms and run it through your hair. This will help tame frizz and give your hair a natural shine.
For Skin:
Application: Dispense a few drops of the oil onto your clean hands.
Massage: Apply it to your face, neck, or any area of the skin that needs moisturizing and nourishment. Gently massage it into your skin in circular motions until fully absorbed.
Remember that these oils are pre-diluted and safe for direct application.
