Ingredient Spotlight - Hemp Seed Oil
Awards season is always an exciting time, and recently we were thrilled to receive the 2022 Aestheticians’ Choice Award for Best Sensitive Moisturizer from Dermascope Magazine — for our newly-launched Hydra Dew Pure™ Elixir Balm. Take a peek at page 84 to see what we mean! This multipurpose, ultra-concentrated beauty balm is a fix for pretty much anything related to moisturization, skin soothing and skin smoothing, and we’ve been fans of it for a while, but we’re ecstatic to hear that our aestheticians and clients are loving it, too.
Enriched with hemp seed oil (made from the cold-pressed seeds of the organic cannabis sativa plant), this miracle skin savior — part of our best-selling Hydra Dew Pure™ Collection for dry and compromised skin — helps soften and lock in moisture to the skin’s barrier. And as we look forward to spring (following winter’s dullness and drying toll), the balm, plus its other deeply nourishing hemp seed oil companion, our Hydra Dew Pure™ Oil, are bound to be your best friends.
Hemp Seed Highlights
First things first, using this award-winning duo will not get you high, so don’t worry about that! It will, however, treat your skin to its own kind of euphoria. The highly emollient oil is completely THC-free and incredibly nourishing given its richness in phytonutrients like vitamins, minerals, phytosterols, phospholipids, and antioxidants. Severely dry and compromised skin will get a healthy dose of hydration and repair courtesy of naturally-present high concentrations of essential fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) in a perfect skin-friendly ratio that helps retain moisture and keep the outermost layer of the skin strong, smooth, and supple.
Omega-6 and Omega-3 in the hemp seed oil work collaboratively to:
- Help soothe and balance dry or otherwise compromised skin (without heaviness or a greasy feel)
- Reinforce skin’s surface and moisture barrier
- Remedy redness and extra sensitivity
- Strengthen skin against environmental damage
- Visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles while scavenging free radicals
- Soften rough or cracked skin as it calms irritation and inflammation
And as with all of our multitasking products, our Hydra Dew Pure™ Elixir Balm and Face Oil also help balance oil production (deterring breakouts and congestion) and prevent bacteria/microbes from getting into the skin. It’s truly so well-thought-out and complete.
Harness the Benefits of Hemp Seed Oil Here
In the Hydra Dew Pure™ Elixir Balm: Our award-winning (and dermatologist-tested) salve that helps support the skin’s natural barrier. Traditional Mastic Oil from the island of Chios, Greece, and Seaweed extract help create an immediate sensation of comfort, while Camellia Japonica Seed Oil and Organic Cannabis Sativa Hemp Seed Oil help soften and lock in moisture. It can be used pre-and-post shaving to relieve bumps and chafing, at night to relax the neck and décolleté, following exercise or recreational activities that may leave feet and heels cracked, as well as anytime on extra dry, compromised areas or particularly rough patches. Simply apply a small amount to fingertips and massage gently into skin until fully absorbed.
In the Hydra Dew Pure™ Oil: Our unique (and also professionally-praised) facial oil combines pure Laminaria Digitata Seaweed extract with powerful Mastic Oil from the Aegean Island of Chios, Organic Cannabis Sativa Hemp Seed Oil, and Camellia Japonica Seed Oil to help restore the appearance of the skin’s natural moisture barrier and create soft, smooth skin on the face and body. For best results, apply 10 drops (although many of our fans say that using a few drops goes a long way!) to clean skin and massage in consistent, circular motions until it’s readily absorbed. We love to pair this oil with our all-new Repêchage® Kansa Wand to tighten, tone, and firm the skin, while simultaneously reducing puffiness and relieving redness and irritation.
Our two premier hemp seed oil stars have taken the beauty world by storm already (thank you, Dermascope!), and we’re so excited to keep formulating and innovating with this naturally super-charged ingredient.
