Although it is one of the best products for your skin there has only lately been an interest in hemp lotion. There is a long history of medical use of this remarkable plant and it has many health giving properties. It will not only moisturize and repair skin but restore and protect it too.

As folk medicine a paste or liniment made from hemp seeds was applied to the skin to treat cancerous ulcers or tumors. Oil extracted from the seeds also has the highest concentration of essential fatty acids of any plant source. These are extremely beneficial for the skin and for human health in general.

Essetial fatty acids (EFAs) are necessary to keep your skin soft and supple. They support cellular health by creating a moisture barrier that keeps your skin hydrated. There are high levels of the omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9 but they are also in the correct balance for optimum health.

There are also polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) which have anti inflammatory properties. This makes is good for healing lesions and preventing skin inflammation. High levels of linoleic acid are present and gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which is only found in rare sources such as borage oil and evening primrose oil.

There are also many other beneficial components that protect and nourish your skin. Vitamin E and carotene are strong antioxidants that prevent free radical damage along with phytosterols and phospholipids. Minerals that are available are calcium and magnesium as well as sulfur, potassium and phosphorus.

There are many different formulations containing this oil. They can be used for tanning, moisturizing or even the treatment of skin conditions. There is no danger of absorbing THC because the industrial crops that are planted are different to the plant that is used as a drug. If you want all the benefits of one of the best natural products around then don't hesitate to try hemp lotion.
