Hemp seed oil is often referred to as hemp oil and is a cannabis-based product. It is produced by cold pressing hemp seeds which are found on the cannabis and hemp plants. It can be found in 2 formats: Refined and unrefined. 

Hemp oil is often unrefined and tends to be a light green colour, with a nutty aroma, and its use in skincare is no new trend. Refined hemp oil is also available, and comes as a clear, odourless oil. Refined Hemp Oil is not as good for skin as unrefined.

What is a Comedogenic Oil?

A comedogenic oil is any oil that is too heavy for a person’s skin, effectively blocking your pores and being unsuitable for the vast majority of skin types.

Comedones clogged pores causes blackheads and whiteheads, which can lead to acne. Many standard skincare products used comedogenic oils, which may be the root cause of your skin issues. 

 All oils that are used in skincare will have a comedogenic rating between 0 and 5, with 0 being the best. 

Benefits of using Noncomedogenic Oils

  • Noncomedogenic oils will help keep dry skin moisturised and oily skin acne free. 
  • Noncomedogenic oils can be used to help reduce fine lines and pimples, as lip moisturisers and even spot treatments. 
  • Another huge benefit of using non-comedogenic oils is their ability to work as a cleanser for the skin, helping unclog pores and removing makeup or impurities. 

What Oils are Noncomedogenic?

Hemp oil has a comedogenic rating of zero, making it the perfect addition to any person's skincare routine without the stress of wondering will this oil leave your pores clogged!

Other popular noncomedogenic oils are sweet almond oil (2), grapeseed oil (1) and sunflower oil (0-2).

What Oils to avoid? 

Any oil with a comedogenic rating higher than 2 is best to avoid to keep skin acne free and pores unclogged. Some popular oils used in common skincare products have a higher comedogenic rating, such as lanolin (2-3), coconut oil (4) and cocoa butter (4).

Acne

Acne is a skin disorder most people are familiar with, and it tends to flare up at any point in life. Multiple reasons can cause acne, but one of the more common and treatable causes is excess sebum production 

When considering using hemp oil for treating acne, it’s a hugely beneficial oil thanks to it being full of rich, fatty acids, which can help prevent inflammation and help balance the skin, both of which are contributing factors to Acne. 
Hemp is undergoing huge studies now for its skin benefits, with one study from the Journal of Clinical Investigation showing that hemp oil can help reduce sebum production, which is a huge part of why some people suffer from acne.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an inflammatory autoimmune condition that affects the skin and damages epidermal propagation. It causes patches of red inflamed skin, accompanied by silver dry flakes, and can be extremely painful. 

Hemp Oil is full of omega fatty acids, containing more than 75% omega 3 and omega 6. In addition to that, Hemp Oil also contains gamma-linolenic acid, which means it is higher in nutrients than other seed oils and even fish oil!

Several studies have been done to show the benefits of having plenty of omegas in a body as a way of helping treat Psoriasis.
