Hemp vegetable oil: benefits and uses in natural cosmetics and nutrition

From the age of 25, the production of collagen, a protein which helps structure our skin (and in particular the face), is revised downwards. It is then that we see slight lines and small folds appear, in the middle of the eyebrows, then on the forehead, at the corners of the eyes, etc. This decreased collagen production, but also elastin is responsible for the loss of elasticity of the skin.

Consisting mainly offatty acids, Hemp oil will help the skin to regenerate and produce collagen. In addition, its rich composition in vitamins, notably in vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, will make this oil an excellent anti-aging remedy. Indeed, by fighting free radicals, one of the major causes of tissue aging, Hemp oil will strengthen its action against wrinkles and aging skin.

There skin dry and dehydrated requires special care. This treatment can be provided by fatty acids, natural components of our sebum but also of our cell membranes. Hemp vegetable oil helps rebuild the skin's lipid film. Several studies show the benefit of adding hemp oil to an emulsion to moisturize the skin. Its benefit is visible at a low percentage of only 3% vegetable oil.

The rich composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids (around 85 to 90%) of Hemp oil has been the subject of a study on the treatment of dermatological problems, in particular to treat eczema. This study based on 20 subjects reveals the benefit of taking 30 mL of Hemp oil orally over 2 months to relieve both itching and dryness of the skin compared to classic Olive oil. Other studies also report its benefit for other skin problems such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

Hemp oil, rich in omega-3 and vitamin E, helps soothe redness and inflammation. In addition, its polyphenol content acts on circulatory problems linked to rosacea. 

Concerning the beard, just like the hair, Hemp oil and its composition justify its benefits for nourishing and hydrating the beard while taking care of the skin just below the beard.

Here again, the richness of Hemp vegetable oil in fatty acids helps nourish the nail in depth. For thicker, stronger and shiny nails, the vitamins in Hemp oil will be particularly interesting. Your nails will be less soft and less brittle. On the one hand, fatty acids have the capacity to regenerate skin tissue but also on the other hand to stimulate the creation of the nail by promoting the keratin production.

A skin sensitive or irritated skin is fragile, thin and often subject to discomfort. Faced with physical attacks (sun, wind, pollution, etc.) or chemical attacks (detergents), it becomes reactive with the appearance of redness. Hemp vegetable oil, rich in omega-3 and omega-6, regenerates the skin barrier and soothes skin inflammation.

In the same way as for the skin, Hemp oil helps to deeply nourish the hair thanks to its composition of fatty acids, and not just any fatty acids, particularly omega-3 and 6. In addition, the smell of Hemp oil is quite neutral and its fluid and light texture will make it a very pleasant oil to use. In care, Hemp oil helps to fill the gaps to hydrate and strengthen hair in depth. The vitamins that compose it will intensify the strengthening power of Hemp oil, your hair will be nourished and strengthened, which will slow down its loss. Another positive point of Hemp oil is its composition of vitamins such as E and B. Their contribution is very important to promote hair growth of which keratin is an essential element.
