Hemp seed oil is cold pressed from hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa). The benefit of using hemp seed as a carrier oil is that it is a rich source of polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as α-linolenic acid and omega-6 γ-linolenic acid. These help build healthy cell membranes and also help produce the skin’s natural oil barrier, thus keeping skin hydrated, plumper, and younger looking. Hemp seed is a great ingredient to add to your skin care regime as it improves hair and nail strength, is works well with aging or dry skin and for those who have eczema. It has a comedogenic rating of zero. (It won’t clog pores).
