hemp oil

It is green in colour, contains many important nutrients and is excellent both for skin care and for consumption. It contains high levels of essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic acid. It also contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C and E, phytosterols, chlorophyll and lecithin. Hemp oil has powerful antioxidant properties and helps combat premature skin ageing. It is obtained by pressing the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant, ideally cold-pressed to preserve its nutrients, and is available in organic, THC-free form.

Hemp oil intensely moisturises the skin thanks to its high content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which restore the lipid barrier and maintain hydration without leaving a greasy film. It has anti-inflammatory properties, soothes irritation and supports regeneration, including wound healing and increased collagen production. Its antioxidant properties protect against free radicals and premature ageing, while its antimicrobial effects combat bacteria, fungi and viruses. It contains ceramides and GLA, which increase serum levels of essential fatty acids.

It is suitable for all skin types, especially very dry, hypersensitive, sensitive children's skin, dehydrated, oily, acne-prone and mature skin. It is recommended for skin conditions such as atopic eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, fungal infections, seborrhoea and skin irritation caused by trapped moisture. It regulates sebum production, helps prevent clogged pores and reduces redness, making it ideal for acne-prone skin without the risk of clogging pores (comedogenic rating 0).

Clinical studies confirm the effectiveness of essential fatty acids from hemp oil in chronic inflammatory skin conditions. For example, applying hemp oil with GLA (1-4 %) significantly improved hydration and reduced inflammation in patients with atopic eczema after 20 weeks (Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2005). Another study showed that topical application of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (including ALA 18-20 %) reduced itching and dryness by 60 % in patients with psoriasis (British Journal of Dermatology, 2014).
