Hemp seed oil Organic
Description
Organic Hemp seed Oil (Cannabis sativa) is a vegetable oil with a well-balanced fatty acid profile, its natural Omega-6/Omega-3 ratio is close to the ideal ratio for skin cell health. The emerald-green color, a sign of the natural chlorophyll present, as well as its characteristic penetrating texture make it a distinctive ingredient. It quickly penetrates the skin without a greasy residue, being active yet gentle enough to be used even in formulas intended for problematic skin types. On hair, it contributes to smoothing and a shinier appearance of the strands.
- Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): Helps fluidize the skin's native sebum, being essential for oily, acne-prone skin or skin prone to clogged pores.
- Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3): A powerful anti-inflammatory agent that soothes erythema, irritation, and reduces skin sensitivity.
- Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA - Omega-6): A rare fatty acid (also found in Borage) that deeply repairs the skin barrier and restores elasticity to mature or eczema-affected skin.
- Oleic Acid (Omega-9): Provides a lightweight emollience without leaving a greasy or heavy film.
It contains phytosterols that reduce local inflammation, accelerate the healing of compromised skin, and stimulate the synthesis of collagen.
It also contains phospholipids and lecithin, components that aid the rapid penetration of the oil into the epidermis, acting as an excellent vehicle for other active ingredients.
⚠️ Clarification regarding Cannabinoids (CBD/THC)
Hemp seed oil (Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil) is NOT CBD oil. This vegetable oil does not contain THC (the psychoactive compound) and has only absolutely insignificant traces of CBD (resulting from accidental contact of the seeds with the resin of the plant's flowers during harvesting). Its role in cosmetics is strictly focused on hydration, sebaceous balancing, and anti-inflammatory emollience through fatty acids and phytosterols, not through the endocannabinoid system.
