such as Hemp Seed Oil! Whether you’re moisturising, showering or combating pimples, Hemp Oil products is worth trying.
How is Hemp Seed Oil made?
Hemp Seed Oil is extracted from Hemp Seeds through a pressing method. The press used rotates to extract the oil and separate the remaining Hemp Seed. Like many natural Hemp derived products, Hemp Seed Oil has no psychoactive properties and is able to be used in a wide variety of ways.
What are Hemp Oil's skin care benefits?
Hemp Seed Oil has an amazing natural ability to moisturise and condition the skin. It is able to do this as it has an EFA (essential fatty acid) profile that resembles our skin’s lipids (fats) very closely. Hemp Oil uses this trait to treat dehydrated skin and reverse the effects of oil loss that causes dry skin, mimicking our natural sebum regulation to leave you with balanced, hydrated skin. For acne-prone skin using topical oils such as hemp can be effectively moisturise without clogging pores and without leaving you with a heavy, oily residue.
Topical application of Hemp Seed Oil may also help to treat a range of beauty conditions such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and scars. Hemp oil is ideal for nearly all skin types including dry skin, acne-prone, and mild forms of both eczema and dermatitis. It can also soothe dry, cracked and ageing skin.
Which fatty acids are found in Hemp Seed Oil?
There are many essential fatty acids found in Hemp Oil, however the acids most similar to our skin’s lipids are Omega 3, 6 and 9. Omega 3 has great anti-inflammatory benefits that can support all skin types. Omega 6 is essential for healthy, well functioning skin. It may also be amazing for dehydrated and dry skin! Omega 9 on the other hand promotes healthy inflammation responses. This is the same as the oil produced in our own skin glands!
