What are the primary benefits of using Hemp seed oil in skincare?

Hemp seed oil is exceptionally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. These beneficial lipids help strengthen the skin's natural barrier, preventing moisture loss whilst protecting against environmental stressors. Hemp products are particularly effective at soothing dry, uncomfortable skin without leaving a heavy, greasy residue, as the oil absorbs relatively quickly despite its nourishing properties. The oil also contains vitamin E and other antioxidants that help protect skin from free radical damage, whilst its natural anti-inflammatory properties make hemp skincare suitable for calming irritation and supporting overall skin comfort.

Is Hemp skincare suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin?

Yes, hemp skincare is remarkably versatile and generally well-tolerated across different skin types, including sensitive skin. The oil's composition closely mimics the skin's natural lipids, making it less likely to cause irritation or adverse reactions. Hemp products are non-comedogenic, meaning they won't clog pores, which makes them suitable even for combination skin that needs hydration without heaviness. The gentle, soothing nature of hemp seed oil makes it an excellent choice for reactive or easily irritated skin that struggles with more aggressive ingredients. As with any new skincare product, it's wise to patch test first if you have particularly sensitive skin or known allergies.

Will Hemp skincare products make my skin oily?

Despite being an oil-based ingredient, hemp products typically don't make skin feel greasy or contribute to excess oil production. Hemp seed oil is considered a "dry" oil, meaning it absorbs into the skin relatively quickly without leaving a heavy, slick residue on the surface. The oil's balanced fatty acid profile actually helps regulate your skin's natural oil production rather than adding to shine or greasiness. Hemp skincare works by nourishing the deeper layers of skin and strengthening the moisture barrier, which can actually help balance combination skin over time by ensuring skin doesn't overproduce oil to compensate for dehydration.

What makes Hemp particularly effective for hydrating very dry skin?

Hemp seed oil's exceptional moisturising ability comes from its unique fatty acid composition, which includes omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 in ideal ratios for skin health. These essential fatty acids penetrate deeply to nourish and repair the skin barrier, helping it retain moisture more effectively rather than simply sitting on the surface. Our rich body butters with hemp create a protective layer that shields dry skin from environmental moisture loss whilst allowing it to breathe, unlike heavier occlusives that can feel suffocating. The oil's natural vitamin E content supports skin repair and regeneration, making hemp skincare particularly beneficial for chronically dry, rough, or damaged skin that needs intensive, long-lasting hydration.

Are the Hemp products from The Body Shop psychoactive?

Absolutely not. Our Hemp skin products are made from Hemp seed oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant and contains no THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in other parts of the cannabis plant. Hemp seed oil is a completely legal, safe, and non-intoxicating ingredient used purely for its excellent skincare benefits. You can use our Hemp products with complete confidence, knowing they contain only the nourishing, moisturising properties of the seed oil without any psychoactive effects whatsoever. Our Hemp skincare is simply exceptional botanical care that happens to come from a plant that's been unfairly misunderstood.
