Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp is a valuable, sustainable eco-friendly resource, and is loved due to all its many uses. Skin is our largest and arguably most important organ. Our skin cells are continuously dieing, shedding and being replaced by new ones. This cycle is controlled by the health of the "barrier". The key to the integrity of this barrier is moisture, specifically keeping water inside the skin. In order to do this you need apply a humectant (something that attracts or holds water). Hemp Seed Oil replenishes our (EFA'S), which helps our skin hold moisture, making it a natural humectant. The effectiveness of our barrier function is what determines the moisture level of our skin, thus the health, softness and smoothness. Essential Fatty Acids (EFA'S) specifically Omega 6, Omega 3 and Omega 9 preserve this barrier. Hemp Seed Oil is made up of 80% essential fatty acid, the highest amount of any other plant. Hemp Seed Oil prevents moisture loss on a physiological level; it does just not merely "coat" the skin as do other oils. It contains the ideal ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 based on our cells needs. Hemp so closely matches our own skins lipids it is able to penetrate inside our cells and lubricate the surface between them, thus bringing the EFA's within our body. For this reason EFA's have been proven to play a preventative role in skin aging and a healthy moisture balance.Not only does Hemp Seed Oil contribute greatly to the barrier function and appearance it also has other skin benefits such as offering relief to acne, minor abrasions, psoriasis and eczema. Hemp is also the only plant oil containing Vitamin D, which is necessary for Calcium absorption, especially useful to vegans. Using Hemp Seed Oil is a great way toachieve soft, smooth and hydrated skin.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba Oil helps promote healing of the skin in many ways. The chemical composition of jojoba closely resembles that of the skin’s natural sebum, so it is easily absorbed and rarely causes allergic reactions, even in the most sensitive individuals. Jojoba Oil is actually composed of liquid wax esters rather than oil. The body’s natural sebum also contains wax esters, which act as a sort of natural moisturizer and environmental barrier for the skin. However, wax ester production steadily decreases with age, causing the skin to appear dull and emphasizing wrinkles; a reduced ester content in the skin can also lead to the development of conditions such as psoriasis, dandruff, and rosacea. Jojoba Oil can prevent the skin from becoming too oily. Because the structure of Jojoba Oil so closely resembles natural sebum, it can actually trick the skin into producing less natural sebum, which, unlike Jojoba, can clog pores. Jojoba Oil may help treat acne, both by reducing sebum production and by protecting the skin from harmful bacteria.
