It’s no secret that cannabis is used for a variety of health ailments, but there are many hemp products that are available at beauty supply stores, that have peaked the interest of many. Hemp products are completely legal and have a very small amount of THC, which is the chemical in marijuana that gets you high, so they’re perfectly safe and won’t get you in trouble if you take a drug test. These products are quickly gaining popularity because they are packed with antioxidants and fatty acids that your skin and hair need to look healthy.
Shampoo and conditioner
Hemp contains Omega-6 fatty acids that help stimulate skin and hair growth, which is why there are many hemp shampoos and conditioners that are used for hair loss. Most shampoos are filled with sulfates and ingredients that strip your hair from their natural oils, but hemp shampoo can strengthen and add fatty acids that fortify and repair it from sun damage and heating hairstyling tools.
Hemp Soap
You’ve probably noticed the tables with natural soaps at the festivals and fairs that include various natural ingredients. One type of soap that you may want to check out next time you see these is hemp soap. It has a variety of anti-aging properties, since they use hemp oil in these soaps and its rich in Omega-3 and 6, as well as gamma-linolenic acid, which is an ingredient that is often used in expensive anti-aging moisturizers. Many of these soaps contain goat’s milk or castor oil in order to create a creamy lather, plus you can use it all over your skin, including your face.
Hemp Lotion
Your skin needs moisturizing all year-long and hemp lotion is very similar to the hair products and soaps, which contain many skin-friendly nutrients. It has vitamin E, which encourages healthy skin tissue growth, and vitamin C that helps produce collagen, which is what keeps your skin looking younger. It also includes vitamin B6, which just like vitamin C, it encourages firmer skin because it’s packed with fatty acids. Hemp lotion helps even the tone of your skin, brightens, and even helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Many people use it to reduce acne and inflammation because it helps keep your skin smooth and youthful.
There are many other products that contain hemp that you can find in the natural products aisle. There are also perfumes, face oils, and other products that are made from hemp, unprocessed, and chemical-free ingredients, which are much better than the ingredients found in traditional beauty products.
