Hemp seed oil – anti-inflammatory organic oil for skin protection & regeneration
Organic hemp seed oil strengthens the skin barrier, has an anti-inflammatory effect and regulates sebum production – ideal for sensitive, impure or inflamed skin.
Introduction / Brief description
Hemp seed oil (INCI: Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil ) is a nutrient-rich, cold-pressed vegetable oil with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid. Its balanced fatty acid composition is similar to the human skin barrier, making the oil extremely well-tolerated and specifically effective for stressed, blemished, or inflamed skin. In addition to antioxidant vitamin E, it contains phytosterols that promote anti-inflammatory processes and support cell renewal.
Origin & Production
The hemp seed oil used in myrto natural cosmetics comes from certified organic cultivation in Germany . It is extracted from the small seeds of the hemp plant ( Cannabis sativa ) through gentle cold pressing . Processing takes place without heat or solvents, so all bioactive ingredients are preserved in their natural form. The oil has a typical greenish color and a pleasantly fresh, herbal scent.
Effect on skin and hair
Strengthening the skin barrier & sebum regulation
Thanks to its skin-like fatty acid structure, hemp seed oil supports the development and maintenance of the skin's natural acid mantle. It helps regulate sebum production in oily and blemished skin without causing dryness. The skin becomes more supple, and redness and tightness subside.
Anti-inflammatory & regenerating
Phytosterols and antioxidant vitamin E in hemp seed oil specifically combat inflammation, oxidative stress, and irritation. The oil can have a soothing and regenerating effect, especially on skin problems such as acne, atopic dermatitis, or psoriasis. It calms irritated skin and supports cell regeneration.
Care for hair & scalp
Hemp seed oil also has positive effects in hair care: It strengthens the hair structure, prevents split ends, and makes hair smooth and shiny. On the scalp, it regulates sebaceous gland function, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and promotes a healthy skin environment—ideal for itching, dandruff, or irritation.
