So, What’s Up With Chia Seed?

So, you think Chia Seeds belong solely in the kitchen? Chia Seeds rose to popularity when an increasing number of people discovered its superfood properties, and it didn’t take long for the health community to embrace it as a vital part of healthy diets. Chia Seed is stomach-friendly because it’s easy to digest, and it goes wonderfully with a long list of ingredients because its flavor complements a variety of recipes. It’s enriched with vitamins and minerals that the body needs, and is low in calories. Chia Seed has been a staple food in Mexico for centuries – it’s believed the Aztecs consumed it for a boost in energy and endurance. It’s also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, bone-building minerals, and antioxidants. It’s even been found that this wonder seed contains anti-cancer properties, and it’s known to help lower blood sugar levels, support healthy digestion, and detoxify the body. It doesn’t end there – recent studies indicate that Chia Seeds can promote healthy skin and help reduce the signs of skin aging.

Why Do We Use Chia Seed In TreeActiv Products?

Chia Seed Oil is an ingredient worth adding to your beauty regimen because its benefits are far too many to ignore. It’s a rich source of protein, making it a nourishing treatment for the hair. Our hair is composed of protein, and Chia Seed Oil nourishes hair by replenishing its natural protein supply. The result is healthy hair from roots to tips, and your precious locks growing strong and thick. The seed has 20% more protein compared to soybeans and contains omega-3 fatty acids, which helps prevent hair loss. It also provides skin-enhancing nutrients and can help stave off wrinkles and fine lines thanks to its natural phenolic concentration and antioxidant properties. Antioxidants have long been known to help repair skin damage, fight free radicals, and prevent further damage. By infusing your beauty routine with this oil, you can bring back the youthfulness to your skin. Stubborn blemishes can start to fade because Chia Oil can soothe inflammation while protecting the skin's outer layer. With its powerful skin-hydrating properties, the oil works great as a moisturizer, so incorporate it in your serum to treat dull, dry skin. It’s also because of its tremendous hydrating effects that this oil promotes youthful, plump lips. A lip balm or lip scrub with Chia Oil can be super nourishing and can help prevent chapped lips.
