Hemp Soap is Loaded with Good Stuff

Alagawany et al. (2019) commented that hemp soap had been known to have many beneficial nutrients like omega-three and omega-9, which can help in healthy skin growth. However, when it comes into contact with the skin, it can help people suffering from epidermis woes like dry or damaged skin caused by the environment. Tadić et al. (2021) noted that it could also help reduce eczema or rosacea on the skin and give you glowing, radiant skin. Moreover, it can nourish hair and dermis at the cellular level.

Tabassum & Hamdani (2014) established that hemp soap also provides anti-inflammatory properties that can calm irritated skin. They can also help in reducing redness on the skin and dark spots.

Hemp Soap Is Highly Moisturizing

Hemp soap cannot stripe the skin of its natural oil; it helps the skin regain its natural state. It’s also gentle to the skin and leaves your skin feeling smooth. Generally, it can be used in any part of the body, from the face to the legs. On the other hand, you won’t experience any uncomfortable tight feelings after cleansing. Hemp soap doesn’t contain triclosan which causes inflammation and dry skin.

Wills et al. (1999) argued that it also has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, which protect the skin from bacteria. However, soaps with triclosan can increase the rate of colitis and colon cancer. This is why you should avoid soaps with triclosan. Hemp soap can be useful for people with dehydrated skin because it has moisturizing properties. When used continuously, it gives the user a fresh feeling, enabling him to carry out his daily activities in peace.

Does Hemp Soap Get You High?

Hemp contains no THC, so it cannot make you high. THC is the substance that can make a person high, but only if it exceeds 0.3%. However, hemp soap can’t get you high and can’t make you fail a drug test. Hemp soap with a small amount of THC can help increase its benefits. Everyone can use hemp soap.

Hemp oil can be used with any skin type. This is because its fatty acid helps mimic the skin and promotes healthy skin growth. Generally, hemp soap can be a fantastic anti-aging product capable of slowing down oxidation caused by free radicles. This benefit makes it one of the most usable products because it’s versatile.

It’s also usable by young ones. Therefore there is no need to buy another one for them. Moreover, it can be used by the complete family because of its never-ending benefits from infants to pregnant mothers and every other person. Hemp soap cannot make the user high, so there is no need to worry about its psychoactive effects.  It can’t make you fail a drug test either because it contains little to no THC, which isn’t harmful.

Hemp Cream Can Be Good for Sunburns

Hemp seed oil can be used to prevent sunburns by creating a layer on the skin that protects the skin from excessive sun rays.  It also has an SPF 6 rating which means it can be used as a sun repellant. For those who have had a sunburn, you can attest to how it can be painful sometimes. Dart et al. (2015) noted that hemp soap could be used to prevent pain during bath time. It will also aggravate the pain and help your skin heal faster.  Principally hemp soap can be suitable for any burn regardless of the cause of the injury.

How does Hemp Oil benefit your Skin?

There are several benefits you can get from using hemp soap. It can be either topically or orally.

Moderates Oil Production

Hemp soap is good for most skin types as it can be used to moisturize without clogging your pores. According to Balić et al. (2020), it can help balance out oily skin and even regulate the skin’s oil production. Generally, dryness can make your skin overproduce oil which can h lead to skin dehydration. Dehydration can cause excess acne on the skin, making it difficult to clear then. Using hemp soap can help reduce them.

Moisturizes and Soothes Inflammation

Hemp soap contains omega-6 fatty acids, which act as a powerful anti-inflammatory. However, it can simultaneously encourage skin growth and a new cell generation which will help maintain good skin health. It can be used to calm inflammation and irritation on the skin.  Hemp soap can also reduce acne and conditions like psoriasis while keeping the skin nourished and moisturized. It helps reduce the black spots on your skin and makes you look more appealing.

Has Anti-Aging Properties

Hemp soap has been known to have anti-aging properties making you look young and vibrant. Generally, hemp soap can make you reduce fine lines and wrinkles on your face and also remove signs of aging. However, the linoleic acid found in hemp oil can’t be produced by the body but can help play a role in skin health.
