Take care of your beauty and slow down time! Hemp (cannabis sativa) is a traditional plant whose beneficial effects have been utilised by hunters and gatherers since 12,000 years ago. Thanks to its high content of vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and other beneficial substances, hemp is a popular ingredient not only in medicine but also in beauty products. Hemp has the ability to nourish the skin intensively and protect it against drying out, reducing the signs of ageing and keeping it perfectly supple and soft. Hemp even has positive effects on hair and nail beauty!

Characteristics of hemp

Hemp contains approximately 600 active substances, such as vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C and E), chlorophyll, antioxidants, ceramides, cannabinoids, fats, enzymes and minerals (magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron), essential amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids (omega 6 and omega 3). The positive characteristics of hemp mean that it’s good for dry and sensitive skin, but also for oily and acne-prone skin. In beauty products, hemp oil and cannabidiol (CBD) are primarily used.

Hemp oil vs. CBD

Hemp oil and CBD are both highly sought-after ingredients because of their positive effects on skin and hair. What is the difference between them?

CBD means cannabidiol, which is extracted from the green parts of the hemp plant. CBD cosmetics help protect cells against oxidative stress, help eliminate spots, regenerate the skin and take gentle care of skin with eczema.
Hemp oil is obtained by cold-pressing hemp seeds and does not contain cannabinoids. Hemp oil moisturises, keeps the skin youthful and reduces the formation of wrinkles.
The combination of hemp oil and CBD most often produces what is known as CBD oil.
