Amaranth oil is extracted from the seeds of two species of the genus Amaranthus — A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus — that are called, collectively, grain amaranth.

Amaranth is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. Even with the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas Amaranth was one of the most important staple food.

This supports the functionality of amaranth oil of the skin, it gets soft and supple and helps to prevent skin aging.
