Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp Seed oil is pressed from the seeds of the Cannabis Sativa, a flowering plant that is indigenous to central Asia.

A few of Hemp Seed Oil's qualities are as follows:

• is especially good for dry and mature skin.


• often used to soften dry and irritated skin.


• has a deep green color and a light nutty odor.


• contains Vitamins A, B, D and E and is rich in fatty acids, amino acids and proteins.


• useful for use in acne, dry skin, dry hair, eczema and psoriasis products.


• is a non-greasy emollient that penetrates easily.


• increases elasticity, shine and manageablity of hair.


• helps to protect skin from excessive water and moisture loss.


• contains anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing properties.


• has a shelf life of 6 - 8 months if refrigerated.


• saponifies slowly but produces a stable and conditioning lather in soap.

This oil should only be used as a small percentage of the base oils because the high percentage of fatty acids make it vulnerable to spoilage.
