Hemp seed oil is a non-greasy, emollient and moisturizing compound with excellent moisture balancing properties.
Using Hemp seed oil is a great way to achieve soft, smooth and hydrated skin. prevents moisture loss on a physiological level; it does just not merely "coat" the skin as do other oils. It contains the ideal ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 based on our cells needs. Hemp so closely matches our own skins lipids, it is able to penetrate inside our cells and lubricate the surface between them, thus bringing the EFA's into the body. For this reason EFA's have been proven to play a preventative role in skin aging and a healthy moisture balance.
Thanks to its high amount of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids), hemp seed oil has excellent anti-inflammatory qualities. It therefore helps to relief conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema, heal skin lesions, balance dry skin and fight skin inflammations.
Hemp is also the only plant oil containing Vitamin D, which is necessary for Calcium absorption, especially useful to vegans. Hemp seed oil contains 57% linoleic (LA) and 19% linolenic (LNA) acids and antioxidants in the form of vitamin E and carotene. Phytosterols, phospholipids, as well as a number of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium and phosphorus are also found in the oil.
