What Are The Benefits Of Hemp Lotion?

Benefits of Hemp Lotion by Silly Goats Soap Company.

The hemp seed in oil in lotion penetrates the inner layers of the skin and promotes healthy skin cell growth.  This is the recipe for soft, subtle skin. It is also true, researchers studying the effects of hemp seed oil on psoriasis, eczema, skin conditions that causes inflammation and dry skin, found that patients’ symptoms improved with the use of the hemp seed oil.

We cannot talk about all the benefits of our Hemp lotion without talking first about Hemp seed oil and then we will have a much better understanding of why our hemp lotion is so good for you.

Hemp seeds are the seeds of the hemp plant called, Cannabis Sativa.  They are from the same species of plant cannabis (marijuana) but a different strain or variety.  No, you cannot get high from hemp and you will not fail a drug test.  However, they do contain a minute, trace amount of THC (.003%), the psychoactive compound in marijuana.  Hemp seeds are exceptionally nutritious and rich in healthy fats, protein and various vitamins & minerals.

Hemp oil is the 2^nd ingredient in our lotion. So, there is a lot of hemp oil in our lotion.  Saying that, hemp oil is richly packed with vitamins A, and E. Hemp is also loaded with Omega 3 and Omega 6 Essential Acids, trace minerals like; potassium, magnesium as well as phytonutrients.

Let’s research the benefits of hemp lotion and each element a little further:

• Vitamin A encourages healthy skin cell production. Retinal, retinol and retinoic acid are important to cell production and growth and are found in vitamin A. Vitamin A also stimulates the cells and are responsible for developing tissue that keeps skin firm and healthy.  This happens in the deep layers of your
• Vitamin E is an antioxidant and helps the shelf life of the lotion. Vitamin E is known to help fight free radicals, which helps fight anti-aging. Studies have shown that when used topically, it can also act as a protectant from skin damage due to sun exposure.
• Omega-6 to Omega-3. Hemp seeds are a good source of polyunsaturated and essential fatty acids. They have about a 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3, which is considered in the optimal range.  The oil may also relieve dry skin, improve itchiness and reduce the need for skin medication

Hemp Oil Versus CBD Oil

Benefits of Hemp Lotion by Silly Goats Soap Company.

Hemp oil, also called hempseed oil, comes from the seeds of the hemp plant.  It is made by cold-pressing hemp seeds. Cold press means just as it sounds, the seeds are sifted to get the chaff or shell casing off and then hand or mechanically pressed to squeeze the oil from the seeds.  Not chemically processed. Hempseed oil differs from CBD oil in that CBD oil is extracted from the whole cannabis plant.  It goes through a very scientific extraction process to take out only the CBD from the plant and at the same time taking out the THC.  Government regulations at this time only allow .003% THC to be allowed in any CBD products.  Most companies the extract CBD then combined it with a base oil such as coconut, olive oil or MCT).

Hempseed oil, which comes from the seeds only and not from a hemp variety of the Cannabis plant itself. Hemp oil or CBD has its own unique properties and health benefits and has no psychoactive compound.

NOTE: Our Hemp Seed Oil Products will not help with pain or other health issues that CBD oil addresses.  It does not clog pores.  Is great moisturizer for your skin but does not have the properties of CBD products.  To learn more, click: Hemp Seed Oil vs CBD Oil.

Hemp oil is used in foods for its high level of healthy nutrients such as:

• Perfect 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio
• Proteins
• Antioxidants, such as Vitamin E
• Essential fatty acids
• Minerals; such as zinc, magnesium, calcium, iron and more

Hemp oil can be used as a cooking oil and, just like any other type of healthy oil, can be added to foods such as salads, dips, and spreads. It also adds a nice nutty butter flavor you cannot find in other oils.

Animal studies have shown that hempseed oil may lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. I personally take 2 eye droppers of organic hemp seed oil each and every day with my breakfast and my vitamins. With a family history of heart attacks, I am confident in the benefits of the hempseed oil and I like it better then taking fish oil capsules for my Omega 6 and Omega 3 oils.

Some studies found that hempseed oil may improve dry, itchy skin and help symptoms of eczema, reducing the need for prescription medication. It is also used in hair conditioners to improve hair health.
