About
Chia seed powder — omega-3-rich hydrator and gentle natural scrub.
Salvia hispanica (chia) seed powder provides a mucilaginous gel on hydration, rich in alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), polyphenols, and soluble fibre. In cosmetics it is used as a soothing, film-forming humectant and a mild exfoliant. No specific CIR monograph has been published, but comparable seed powders have been reviewed as safe, and chia is a long-standing food with no meaningful toxicology concerns. No EU restrictions apply. Fully biodegradable.
