What is hemp oil and what is it used for on the skin?
It is a real hit (no matter what skin you have)! A few years ago, all the benefits that hemp offers if used as a cosmetic on the skin have been demonstrated. However, your beauty routine may contain this property and you still don't know it. (And if it is the opposite, I recommend that you introduce it into your daily life as soon as possible...)
It's no mystery that cannabis has many contributions to the world of medicine (does the name “ medical marijuana ” ring a bell?). For this reason, hemp , coming from the same plant, was not going to be less... Hemp is a subspecies of the cannabis sativa plant, rich in cannabidiol (CBD) and from which hemp oil is obtained, frequently used for cosmetics . for its multiple benefits for the skin .

- It is antioxidant : this ingredient has a high content of phenolic acid and vitamin E (known antioxidants). Thus, you manage to protect the skin from the constant aggression of the free radicals of the epidermis .
- It is a sebum regulator : acne-prone skin is going to want this oil for sure… (And no wonder). Hemp reduces the production of sebum in the skin , so the appearance of acne , shine and blackheads will gradually decrease on your face. All wonderful, don't you think?
