Hemp seed oil, which is pressed from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant, contains 80 percent essential fatty acids, which is the highest percentage of any plant on the planet. One of the first cultivated and consumed crops, hemp seed oil is consumed worldwide and despite its perception by most, hemp does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive chemical found in Cannabis.
The oil has various uses including medicinal and nutritional benefits. For instance, because this plant could fulfill all of our essential fatty acid needs, it could help to prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer and more. It also has cosmetic benefits which do wonders for skin, hair and nails.

Due to its anti-inflammatory functions and abundance of fatty acids, hemp seed oil partly offsets lower levels of ceramides in the skin, thereby reducing the signs of aging and preventing the appearance of skin imperfections and wrinkles. As a result of the high content of essential fatty acids (EFA) and its excellent texture, hemp seed oil, is an ideal and common component in skin cleansers which are used not only for make-up removal but also for skin hydration.

The nutrients found in hemp seed oil support and encourage the production of keratin.
Keratin is a key protein responsible for the cell structure of hair and nails (i.e. helps to make them stronger and healthier). In addition to improving the structural quality of hair, the high lipid content in hemp seed oil also increases its elasticity, volume and shine. The presence of EFA in hemp oil and its excellent moisturizing properties, like vitamin E, make it an ideal solution for people with dry hair and dry scalp. It is also a great option for your hair in the winter because it protects hair against the cold, rough weather.
