Hemp in Skincare
Hemp, a cannabis variety, offers a powerhouse of nutrients in the oil pressed from its seeds. There is a lot of discussion in natural beauty circles about plant oils, and rightly so. They offer excellent regenerative benefits. Because hemp seed oil is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, and minerals and is unlikely to cause allergic reactions we consider hemp seed oil to be one of the best oils for skin. Hemp oil has a comedogenic rating of 0, meaning it will not clog your pores. Your skin will maintain elasticity and softness, thanks to the essential nutrients present in hemp oil. Hemp oil is even recommended as a top natural oil to soothe psoriasis and eczema, as it reduces redness and inflammation. The many health benefits of hemp seed oil come from its high content of three polyunsaturated fatty acids: linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid as well as it’s high content of Vitamin C.
