The New Anti-Aging Super-Ingredient: Quinoa
The Brazilian-Born Brand Nativa SPA Brings A Patented And Powerful Body-Care Formula To The US—Here’s Our Review
Quinoa oil is quickly becoming one of the most popular ingredients when it comes to body care. It's rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids that help nourish and protect your skin. Not only does it provide excellent hydration, but quinoa oil can also help reduce wrinkles and fine lines caused by aging, absorbing into the skin quickly and deeply, delivering maximum benefits with minimal effort.
With this new emerging trend in the body-care industry, we looked to Nativa SPA, a brand that has harnessed the power of quinoa in its plant-based formulas, to test the ingredient ourselves. These formulas contain 100% pure quinoa oil and are enriched with omegas 3, 6, and 9, which are scientifically proven to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer and smoother skin in just two weeks. But don’t worry; we don’t expect you to be sold on quinoa oil just yet. That’s why we went the extra mile to personally research and test these products ourselves. Keep reading to discover the transformative effects of this incredible ingredient and why you'll want to add Nativa SPA to your skincare routine.

THE RESULTS
To further examine the true benefits of quinoa in body care, we looked at Nativa SPA’s Quinoa Firming Body Lotion and Body Oil together, a dynamic duo that has been scientifically proven to transform your skin in just a few weeks of use. In one study, we found and are happy to report that 95% of women with different ages and skin textures agreed that their skin looked substantially more even, firmer, and brighter. Moreover, 94% of women noticed a more radiant and healthier appearance, while 92% experienced deeply moisturized skin across their chest, legs, arms, and hands.
According to Daniela Dressel, general manager of Boticario US, Nativa SPA's parent company and the sixth most sustainable cosmetics company in the world, "Witnessing each person's skin improvement in real time was incredible. And not only did we see skin improvement, but confidence, comfort, and satisfaction increased. Brazil is internationally recognized for its diverse people, natural resources, and Brazilian beauty, which celebrates and focuses on the connection to self, each other, and the planet."
However, as glowing as these results may be, we know that they are not easy to come by. So, how does Nativa SPA do it?
What sets Nativa SPA's Quinoa apart is its patented formula, which is 10x purer than natural quinoa oil and delivers superior skin nutrition compared to other oils. In fact, it offers 30x more benefits than coconut oil, 4x more than avocado oil, and 2x more than Argan and Almond oil. This remarkable ingredient stimulates collagen production and has been scientifically proven to reduce the appearance of aging, wrinkles, and fine lines.
Additionally, it should be noted that Nativa SPA's Quinoa Firming Body Lotion has an average 4.6-star rating and over 850 real-world reviews on Amazon and 1,400 reviews on its website.
