Hemp Seed Oil
We look for this
Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil · Hemp Oil
A dry, fast-absorbing oil unusually high in linoleic acid.
- What it does
- Emollient & barrier
- Our take
- Acne-prone skin tends to be low in linoleic acid and high in oleic, which is one theory for why sebum turns sticky and blocks pores. Hemp seed oil is the opposite ratio, which is why it's the face oil we'd hand someone who breaks out. Rated non-comedogenic and absent from the pore-clogging lists entirely.
- Suitable from
- Teen, 13+ · Young adult, 20+
- Best for
- Barrier repair · Redness & sensitivity · Blemish & congestion
- Skin types
- Oily · Blemish-prone · Combination · Dry
