Chia Seed Gel

Soothing and softening

Like any mucilage, chia seed gel is softening and soothing on the skin. Full of phenolic compounds and flavinoids, chia is thought to have antioxidant properties when applied topically: say hello to a bright healthy skin!

Salvia hispanica belongs to the same genus as sage, and the green shrubby plants look a lot alike. It grows a purple-ish calyx, which delivers the precious seeds after fading. Chia seeds are edible and resemble very tiny pebbles. They are highly mucilaginous: when in contact with warm water or any kind of liquid, they quickly start to swell and increase their size by four or five times. The mucilage is clear and can be compared to tapioca or gelatine. It is commonly used in vegan diets to give consistency to cakes or any kind of recipe and behaves similarly l in cosmetics. Chia seeds are also loved for their energising value: full of proteins, nutrients (such as phosporus and calcium), it is thought to be the highest source of Omega-3 fatty acids, next to flax. Indigenous peoples of North and Central America praised the highly nutritious little seed, especially in times of food shortage or before important physical effort. They are purchased by Lush from a UK organic distributor and come from Argentina.
