Hemp Seed Oil. A Non-Comedogenic Hero
What does hemp seed oil do for skin?
Hemp seed oil inhibits the buildup of dead skin cells and minimises inflammation, irritation and redness. Unsurprisingly, it is an effective acne treatment and extremely under-utilised until recent years.
As a powerful skin soother for puffy, stressed, irritated and damaged skin, hemp seed oil's presence in the skincare world is expanding rapidly because of its power to truly transform the skin.
Isn't hemp illegal?
Hemp seeds are food that are legally grown allover the world. In recent years, Ireland has had a surge of farmers wanting to grow hemp. deDANÚ has supported this movement through information evenings, educational seminars and publications.
While conversations (and even laws) surrounding hemp and hemp seeds continue to evolve, one thing is for certain, our skin loves hemp seed oil and fortunately hemp is here to stay!
