Hemp Seed Oil

– INCI Name: CANNABIS SATIVA SEED OIL

– Origin: Vegetable

Hemp seed oil (Cannabis sativa seed oil) is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant and is known for its skin benefits. Unlike other parts of the cannabis plant, it does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. So it is safe for cosmetic use.

Advantages of Hemp in Topical Use:

1. Deep hydration: Rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), it helps to maintain the skin barrier and retain moisture.

2. Anti-inflammatory properties: Soothes irritated skin and is useful in conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.

3. Regulates sebum: Hemp oil is non-comedogenic, which means it does not clog pores. Ideal for oily or combination skin.

4. Antioxidant: Protects the skin against premature ageing and free radical damage.

5. Improves elasticity: Increases skin firmness and smoothness, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

6. Antibacterial properties: Helps prevent acne outbreaks and other minor infections.

This oil can be used directly or in products such as creams, facial oils and lotions. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
