The Benefits of Hemp

Hemp Seed Oil is known as "nature's most perfectly balanced oil," and has the highest concentration of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) of any essential oil.  EFAs have the ability to enter directly into the lipid layers of dry skin cells, replenishing the oils that are missing due to sun exposure,poor nutrition or neglect.

Dermatologists claim that these EFAs  prevent cell loss, and can actually slow down the aging effects on skin.  In addition,
, Hemp Seed Oil provides a natural barrier to moisture loss and increases
skin's natural moisture retention capacity.  Throughout history the anti-inflammatory
properties of Hemp Seed Oil have been used
as a soothing restorative to dry, damaged skin.  

The industrial hemp that is used in cosmetics is not marijuana although they are from the same species (Cannabis Sativa).  The seeds are sterilized, virtually removing any traces of THC- the mind-alterning compound found in the drug.
Industrial hemp can be grown with relatively little fertilizer and without the pesticides
 that have been known to pollute ground water and river systems.
