Does Hemp Oil Have Collagen?

Amazing beauty benefits can be achieved by incorporating all-natural hemp oil into your skincare routine. With the spread of cannabidiol (CBD), the popularity of hemp has been rising. This is in addition to the boom that the beauty and wellness industries have experienced recently.

Despite being from the same area, CBD and hemp are closer cousins than siblings. You can find hemp seed oil for your skin in many forms, such as creams, serums, and facial oils. Hemp oil has a multitude of benefits that will improve your skin’s health with every dollop, squeeze, and pump.

What is hemp?

Although it technically belongs to the marijuana plant it is not a drug. “Hemp has very low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) — the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana — and is not used for its mind-altering effects,” notes Harris.

Hemp is not the only ingredient that can be extracted from cannabis. CBD has made a name in the beauty and wellness industries. The two plant species are not the same, but they do have some similarities. Harris notes that hemp oil is extracted from the seed of the hemp plant. CBD oil comes from the leaves, stalks, and buds and is also obtained from other members of the cannabis family. Harris adds that hemp oil contains very little THC (no more than 0.3%), while CBD can contain higher levels depending on where it comes from.

THC and CBD are cannabinoids. They are the active ingredients in cannabis plants. Both are commonly extracted separately to make a stronger ingredient. Hemp oil is very low in cannabinoid content (to extract them you need to have a lot of hemp). It does not have the same effects as THC when it is ingested or applied topically.

What are the skin benefits of hemp oil?

Hemp seed oil is a great ingredient in skincare products. It has many beauty benefits. These are just a few of the outstanding properties that hemp seed oil has.

Natural humectant:

Hemp seed oil is just like other skin oils. It has super-nourishing properties. This ingredient is notable for its ability to retain moisture. Harris explains that hemp seed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and amino acids. These components can be applied topically to moisturize and retain moisture.

Antioxidants are abundant in this area:

“Free radicals can be found in environmental aggressors like pollution and the sun’s UV radiations. They can accelerate premature signs such as wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots.” Harris notes that Vitamin E applied topically to the skin may reduce UV damage and protect it from future damage.

Promotes clearer skin:

A skincare product infused with hemp oil can make a difference in clearing up acne-prone skin. Harris explains that hemp seed has been shown in studies to reduce sebum production and skin reddening associated with acne. Harris adds that too much or poor-quality sebum (often caused by diet) can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Hemp products, including oil, are not considered to be comedogenic. This means that they won’t clog pores.

Anti-inflammatory:

Hemp oil may be able to reduce inflammation which is often the cause of many skin problems. Although its anti-inflammatory properties remain to be discovered, the omega-6 fatty acid in hemp oil is known to stimulate new cell growth and reduce irritation. This can help with conditions such as acne. Hemp oil is known to reduce the severity of infections and redden skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

Calming for the skin:

Hemp oil can be used to soothe skin irritations. The combination of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids in hemp oil soothes the skin from the inside. It also strengthens the skin’s natural barrier, preventing microbes from entering the skin, and causing further irritation and infection.
