The amaranth plant has been known to people since ancient times. Residents of India and Nepal revered it as a sacred plant, calling it “the grain sent by God.” It was believed that amaranth could bestow strength, youth and longevity. The plant has been known to Europeans since the 16th century, in Russia - since the 30s of the last century.
Of particular value is amaranth oil in cosmetology with unique properties. It is used in cooking, medicine and, of course, in cosmetology. We invite you to consider the properties of this amazing product in more detail and learn how to use it in home cosmetics.

Possessing a powerful regenerating effect, it has a beneficial effect on the skin and helps cope with skin diseases.
