INCA INCHI is an amazonian plant native of the Peruvian region. According to evidence provided by the pottery found in their tombs, the Incas already used it thousand years ago. The oil shows high contents of essential fatty acids: omega 3 (over 40%)and omega 6 (over 30%), as well as high amounts of antioxydents (Vitamin A and E), which is the reason why the oil, despite being very unsaturated, is very stable.
