Moisturise And Nourish Your Skin Using Hemp Lotion

By Haywood Hunter


It is surprising that hemp lotion is only now becoming popular. The cannabis sativa plant has always been widely used as a medicinal plant but the oil of its seeds also has health giving properties. It can moisturize and nourish skin while at the same time providing anti-inflammatory protection.

As a traditional remedy hemp seeds would have been ground up and used as a liniment on skin lesions or tumors. The oil extracted from the seeds has more essential fatty acids than any other non-animal source. It naturally has the perfect composition to restore health to your skin.

Essetial fatty acids (EFAs) are necessary to keep your skin soft and supple. They support cellular health by creating a moisture barrier that keeps your skin hydrated. There are high levels of the omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9 but they are also in the correct balance for optimum health.

There are also polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) which have anti inflammatory properties. This makes is good for healing lesions and preventing skin inflammation. High levels of linoleic acid are present and gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which is only found in rare sources such as borage oil and evening primrose oil.

It is not just the health fats that are good for you however and there are significant levels of anti-oxidant like vitamin E and carotene. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur are also present. Other compounds that offer protection and rejuvenation are phytosterols and phospholipids.

There are many different formulations containing this oil. They can be used for tanning, moisturizing or even the treatment of skin conditions. There is no danger of absorbing THC because the industrial crops that are planted are different to the plant that is used as a drug. If you want all the benefits of one of the best natural products around then don't hesitate to try hemp lotion.
