Hemp oil for skin care

The quantity of skin care products available on the market can be mind boggling. How do you choose the one that’s best for you? As with the food we eat, checking the ingredient list of the various products is a good rule of thumb, as is asking ourselves if we really want to apply so many chemical products to our skins. Luckily, it’s getting easier to find 100% natural products that do what they’re supposed to while still being environmentally friendly. Whether you have sensitive skin or not, natural skin care products will pamper your skin without harming it.

The benefits of hemp oil

Mostly plant based, natural skin care products are not all created equal, and the plants selected are not always known for their effectiveness. That isn’t the case for hemp, which is an ingredient supported by scientific studies that show that its oil is the most complete and effective in body care. Hemp oil is the only plant-based oil with the perfect omega-3 and omega-6 ratio. Its profile is close to the natural lipids found in the skin, so it penetrates quickly and instantly neutralizes the effects of dryness and dehydration of the skin. Furthermore, it’s high essential fatty acid (EFA) content helps fight against the effects of free radicals, which cause the skin to age. Also, most Quebec hemp farming methods respect nature and the environment. The hemp oil CHANV uses is 100% made in Quebec from organic GMO-free seeds. These seeds are farmed with no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers, so there’s nothing you don’t want in these skin care products.
