Diseño de una crema cosmética a partir del aceite de la semilla chía (salvia hispánica l) y quitosano

Abstract

The Hispanic Salvia (Chia), is a plant that grows in temperate climates and has a length of 1.5 and 2 meters. It was consumed in the pre-colonial era, giving it greater importance than other cereals. It belongs to the group of odoriferous species such as mint, rosemary, oregano and thyme. Its flowers can be white or strong blue. According to its species, it can have white or black seeds and contains 82% fatty acids such as linoleic, linolenic, omega 3 and 6, 30% fiber and 15-25% protein (1). These elements favor the appearance of the skin, reducing the signs of premature aging, which are caused by climatic changes, genetic problems or caused by excess chemicals such as makeup.
