Skin care & Cosmetics
One of the important defences of the body is the hydrolipid coat of the skin (hydro = water, lipid = fat). Sweat and sebaceous glands manufacture this coat, which holds the horny cells of the epidermis together, which, in turn, protects the whole organism from the intrusion of water as well as from dehydration. Other important components of our natural hemp cosmetics are the unsaturated linseed acid and the "Homo-gamma-linolen-acid". This supports the function of the hydrolipid coat and protects the skin against infections, dehydration and radical light particles. The "gamma-linoleic-acid", has being used for the healing of skin-burn and other skin problems as neurodermitis in the medicine. The cold pressed hemp seed oil that we use shows a 73% portion of twofold, unsaturated linseed acids (as a comparison): wheat germ oil has "only" a 50% portion), which gives this oil the ideal requirements for use in cosmetic products. Linseed acid also serves as a carrier for other important ingredients in some of our products: the aqueous extracts of calendula and camomile, which have very positive skin supporting effects.
We now are investigating this plant thoroughly to seed if - as we believe - other substances apart from the linseed acid and the "gamma-Linoleic-acid", with positive effects, for instance squalled, phytohormones or allantoin, can be found. The "a gamma-linoleic-acid content of our organic hemp seed oil is around 4%. We only use hemp-oil from certified organic grow (Controlled by AGRECO-Witzenhausen, Germany).
