That all of the sudden, it\u2019s in every product and all over your Instagram feed? This is what our\u00a0Beauty Buzzwords<\/a>\u00a0series is all about \u2013 helping you learn more about these mysterious ingredients and why everyone is raving about them.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re talking all things hemp<\/a> seed oil. I\u2019m going to breakdown what it really is (short answer: not<\/strong> marijuana) and why it\u2019s the perfect solution to your dry winter skin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h4>\n

Hemp seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the cannabis sativa plant, more commonly known as hemp seeds\u2014you may be more familiar with these as a yummy salad topping or smoothie ingredient. Hemp seed oil contains little to no THC or CBD (specific components of the cannabis stavia plant) and therefore none of the psychoactive or mind-altering properties that many of us think of when we hear the word cannabis. Hemp seed oil is a clear green, yellow colour with a slightly nutty scent.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits?<\/h4>\n

There are so many great reasons to add hemp seed oil to your beauty routine. First off, it\u2019s brimming with healthy fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, which help keep skin looking plump and smooth. Those good fats also act as powerful anti-inflammatories while simultaneously boosting new cell production and skin regeneration, making it perfect for soothing inflamed skin and\/or healing acne.<\/p>\n

Hemp seed oil is also filled with amino acids that can help skin generate collagen<\/a> and elastin, allowing it to stay moisturized and prevent fine lines.<\/p>\n
