If you’ve tuned in to any of the hype about hemp beauty products recently, you’ll know that this natural ingredient has some serious cred when it comes to nourishing your skin and hair. The latest darling of the beauty world, hemp oil is touted to achieve everything from balancing out oily skin without clogging pores to reducing inflammation and eczema.
Not to be confused with CBD oil, which is made from the leaves, stalks and flowers of the hemp plant, hemp seed oil is made from the seeds. Though we’re guessing CBD beauty products will be flooding our feeds soon (now that CBD oil is legally obtainable over the counter), for now it’s all about hemp oil, and all the glow-inducing benefits it provides.
So why is it so good for your skin? Well for starters, it’s packed with antioxidants, vitamin E and vitamin A, all of which encourage skin growth and cell regeneration. It’s also got some serious anti-inflammatory properties—good news for anyone who struggles with eczema.
If you’re looking to add this wonder-oil to your beauty routine, here are some of the best hemp skincare products out there.
