Focus on Inca Inchi: the secret ingredient in our Oil-in-Jelly

May 19, 2025

If you're looking for an oil that intensely nourishes, soothes, and protects skin without leaving a greasy finish, the secret is Inca Inchi . This rare plant-based active ingredient is at the heart of our Oil-in-Gel formula, and it's no coincidence. Inca Inchi is known for its exceptional regenerative and protective properties , perfect for post-pregnancy moms' skin.

What exactly is Inca Inchi?

Inca Inchi (or Plukenetia volubilis ) is a plant native to Peru, cultivated for centuries by local populations. Its small seeds contain a precious oil, very rich in omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 — essential fatty acids for the health and beauty of the skin.

What makes Inca Inchi so strong is its concentration of nutrients :

Omega-3 → Soothing and anti-inflammatory
Omega-6 → Strengthens the skin barrier
Omega-9 → Nourishes and regenerates the skin
Vitamin E → Protects the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging

It is this blend of fatty acids and vitamins that makes Inca Inchi oil so valuable for skin care, especially after pregnancy, when the skin is weakened and needs deep repair.

Why is Inca Inchi perfect for the skin?

Inca Inchi is one of the best natural ingredients for restoring skin after pregnancy. Thanks to its richness in omega and vitamin E, it works on several fronts:

Intense hydration → Omega-3 helps strengthen the hydrolipidic film, keeping skin soft and supple all day long.
Deep repair → Omega-6 and 9 participate in cell renewal, improving skin elasticity.
Antioxidant protection → Vitamin E protects the skin from external aggressions (pollution, UV) and skin aging.
Immediate relief → Omega-3 calms irritation and reduces redness.

In summary, Inca Inchi is a complete active ingredient that deeply nourishes, protects and soothes the skin — without a greasy effect.

Why did we choose it for our Oil-in-Jelly?

In our Oil-in-Jelly , Inca Inchi provides a melting texture and a silky finish. Upon application, the oil glides over the skin, absorbs quickly and leaves a velvety feel.

What we particularly like:

It nourishes without sticking
It soothes immediately after showering or bathing
It improves skin suppleness in just one application
It helps prevent the appearance of stretch marks thanks to its regenerating action

Inca Inchi is the key ingredient that allows the Oil-in-Gel to work deeply while providing a pleasant sensory experience.

How to integrate it into your routine?

After showering → Apply a small amount of Oil-in-Gel to wet skin. Massage gently in circular motions until fully absorbed.
For a postpartum massage → Warm a small amount between your hands, then apply to the stomach, thighs or chest to soothe and soften the skin.
On dry areas → Apply locally to elbows, knees or any dry area for targeted hydration.
