The use of hemp seed oil for skin and hair is not too unknown in this day and age. Before the petrochemical industries came, hemp was the basis for many industrial and domestic goods.

Nowadays, there are a number of natural skin care products out there, of which some include the following:

  • Organic shea nut butter (which I think is great)
  • Aloe
  • Jojoba
  • Cocoa Butter
  • Macadamia, and
  • Avocado Oil

So really, where do hemp beauty products come into place?

The use of hemp for your body and hair is considered to have the best-rounded list of benefits. Some of the advantages of hemp skincare are that:

  1. Hemp oil-based products are a natural emollient (something that softens and smooths the skin), lubricant and moisturizer (retains moisture in your skin and thus slowing the aging process).
  2. Hemp oil actually contains 90% of the healthy unsaturated and essential fatty acids such as Omega 3, Omega 6. These are essential for tissue repair and maintenance.
  3. Hemp oil is very well absorbed by the human skin, because the ratio of Omega 6 – Omega 3 is 3:1, equivalent to that of the human body’s skin. Because of that, when the oil hits your skin, it fits almost like a “jigsaw puzzle”. Hence the utility of the product is high, and not a large amount simply goes to non-functional waste. Hemp body wash is therefore effective in this regard because the essentials can be absorbed quickly and efficiently.
  4. Hemp for hair products can repair damaged hair shafts increasing the hair’s manageability and softness during the day (due to its moisture retention properties) without the experience of something oily.
  5. Using hemp gel or hemp wax for styling your hair also has a positive impact on the skin of your scalp simply because of the points mentioned above.

Additionally, because of the lack of oiliness, the user would typically experience a greater level of comfort in application. More so than ever, hemp is a very sustainable source for skin and hair care. Because the plant is renown for its ability to regrow in a matter of months, it is a reliable source for long term application.

Given the world is shifting its focus more and more into this area, why not do our part for the environment?
