Hemp oil’s high and balanced essential fatty acid content makes it an ideal ingredient in body care products. The essential fatty acids soothe and restore skin when added to salves and creams. The natural texture gives excellent emolliency and smooth after-feel to lotions, lip balms, conditioners, shampoos, soaps, shaving products, and massage oils.
Research is also showing that hemp oil has potential as a broad-spectrum ultraviolet skin protector which opens up the potential for natural sun screen products.
