Benefits of organic hempseed oil for skin


Why Organic Hemp Seed Oil Is Good For Your Skin

Hemp Seed Oil is suitable for men and women of all ages. It is designed for hydrating and improving the health of our skin through this completely natural and unrefined compound known as cold pressed hemp seed oil.

Our Kōaka hemp seed oil is produced by cold pressing New Zealand grown hemp seed. It's a clear, green oil with a light nutty/earthy fragrance. This is suitable for a range of skin conditions or for simply maintaining a healthy skin profile. 

It does this by moisturising the skin without clogging the pores. This not only allows for the hydration of dry skin but also helps regulate natural oil production from our skin which may be overproducing and therefore causing conditions such as acne. 

It leaves no residue and is absorbed quickly into the skin.
