a traditional herbal remedy for centuries, and it has been said that the
Ancient Egyptians were first to discover and record the plant’s healing powers.
Cleopatra’s use of aloe as a beauty tool may have contributed to the awareness
of the plant’s benefits. The Greeks and Romans have been said to use aloe to
treat wounds. Aloe was first introduced to Europe during the 10th century,
where its use was quickly adopted and spread to the West Indies where it is
grown today. Today, aloe is still recognized for its wound healing benefits and
is often used to sooth irritated skin and burns.
Hemp seed oil has one of the highest
antioxidant levels of any vegetable oil. It has a very high phenol count that
may result in up to 70% destruction of certain harmful compounds. High in omega‐3 and omega‐6 polyunsaturated
fatty acids, hemp oil reduces skin dryness, itchiness, and transepidermal water
loss. Hemp Seed Oil Contains 57% linoleic (LA) and 19% Linolenic (LNA) acids
and antioxidants in the form of Vitamin E and carotene. Phytosrerols,
phospolipds as well as a number of minerals including calcium, magnesium,
sulfur, potassium and phosphorus are also found in hemp seed oil.
Many Formulators are
adding hemp seed oil to their skin care applications because it contains a high
amount of essential fatty acids, which makes it an important ingredient in
anti-inflammatory skin care formulations. It is also non-greasy, emollient and
moisturizing compound with excellent anti-aging and moisture balancing
properties.
