Even though hemp and its oil have been around for centuries, it contains what your skin may lack in order to thrive and glow in this modern world. Know more about Hemp Seed Oil as we explore and learn about this astounding natural skincare ingredient.

What is Hemp Seed Oil?

From the seeds of the hemp plant, a variety of the Cannabis Sativa plant species, Hemp Seed Oil, has been mistaken for CBD oil or Cannabidiol. The difference between Hemp Seed Oil and CBD oil is that Hemp Seed Oil is made from processing the hemp seeds into an omega-balance, antioxidant-rich oil, while CBD oil is made from the leaves, stalks, and flowers of the hemp plant.

Hemp Seed Oil does not contain mind-altering THC or terahydrocannabinol, or any psychoactive agents. The hemp plant itself is considered safe and has been used for ages as material for clothing, paper, etc. The seeds were even consumed as food.

Applied on the skin, Hemp Seed Oil is a natural emollient that helps bind moisture and water to the skin while softening. The proteins in Hemp help strengthen the cells while soothing skin inflammation and other skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and more. Skin patch test is always recommended if trying out products and ingredients for the first time.

Here are some benefits your skin will get by using Hemp Seed Oil as part of your skincare regimen:

Skin-loving minerals and nutrients

Praised as the most balanced natural oil, Hemp Seed oil contains minerals and nutrients that will make the skin happy when applied topically. Supplementing with Hemp Seed oil by ingesting is not within the scope of this article, although, it is worth investigating about the benefits Hemp Seed Oil provides to general health when taken internally.

Hemp Seed Oil contains C and B vitamins, calcium, iron, arginine, magnesium, GLA or gamma linoleic acid, and the perfect balance of essential fatty acids Omega 3 to Omega 6.

Skin protection

Shield your skin from harmful substances with Hemp Seed Oil. Hemp Seed Oil repairs and maintains the skin barrier (also known as the skin lipids), protecting your skin against numerous damaging environmental stressors. Too much unprotected sun exposure, radiation, pollution, cigarette smoke, exposure to extreme temperatures, all contribute to skin damage and premature aging.

Acne treatment

Hemp Seed Oil contains the proper ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3 and may help to promote cell renewal and the production of new cells. This process may also soothe skin conditions like psoriasis and acne. Hemp Seed Oil also regulates sebum production in the skin barrier without stripping the skin of its natural oils, preventing extreme skin dryness. Hemp Seed Oil is safe for breakout prone skin because it does not clog the pores, it is quickly absorbed.

Calms irritation

Experience temporary relief from skin irritations from Hemp Seed Oil. This oil is naturally calming to the skin. The moisture Hemp Seed Oil provides also helps relieve itching and flakiness thus providing temporary respite from nagging skin discomforts.

In addition, Hemp Seed Oil helps reduce inflammation while encouraging the growth of new healthier cells making it an often-recommended alternative method for relieving eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis.

Balances oily skin

A natural oil that is categorised as a ‘dry’ oil, Hemp Seed oil does not feel sticky when compared to ‘wet’ oils. It is quickly absorbed into the skin. Dry oils contain fatty acids such as linoleic acid, which is essential to balancing the sebum of the acid mantle. It helps reduces oiliness and acne breakouts without excessively drying the skin.

Combats free radicals

Containing high levels of antioxidants such as gamma-linolenic acid, or GLA, and vitamin A, C, and E, Hemp Seed Oil helps protect the skin from the damaging stray radicals. The free radicals hinder the renewal and repair of cells, contributing to premature aging and even becoming cancerous agents.

Anti-aging

Anti-inflammatory, rich in antioxidant substances, natural UV and environmental damage protection, and provides long-lasting moisture, Hemp Seed Oil is a major anti-aging skincare ingredient that can help slow down the effects of aging, as it combats dryness and dullness.

Reduces lines and wrinkles

Lasting moisture

Having the skin's moisture levels balanced saves your skin from tightness, flakiness, and itchiness. With continued use, Hemp Seed oil-infused skincare products will improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture - without clogging the pores.
