Suggested Selling Points
- Our bodies have an endocannabinoid system – receptors built into our skin that recognize the properties of hemp seed oil, allowing skin to metabolize and use it to its fullest benefit.
- One of the omega-6 fatty acids that hemp oil contains is gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA), which acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory while simultaneously encouraging skin growth and new cell generation. This fatty acid can help calm inflammation and irritation, helps acne and other conditions and creates a clearer complexion.
- Hemp oil is in the humectant family, so it not only absorbs deeply, but it helps the skin retain moisture in extreme elements and protects it from environmental free radical stressors.
- Because it’s rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, it balances moisture levels in all skin types. This means that it doesn’t make oily skin oilier, but actually reduces oily skin and also helps chronically dry skin retain moisture.
- With strong anti-aging properties in addition to the moisture and soothing benefits, hemp oil is a powerful anti-ager that can improve skin’s appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The linoleic and oleic acids found in hemp seed oil can’t be produced by the body and play a crucial role in overall good skin fitness and should be added to any good skin care plan.
- Hemp oil is perfect for most skin types as it moisturizes without clogging pores. It can even help to balance oily skin, hydrating and regulating oil production. Dryness can also cause skin to overproduce oil, which in turn, can stimulate acne.
