Hemp oil is a key ingredient in many hemp-based skin products, and can help ease pain and soothe irritated skin. Hemp oil also contains essential fatty acids that are good for the skin, and helps with hydration. Hemp oil creams are popular among those with eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions that cause itching and inflammation.
This hemp oil cream is a calming moisturiser that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while providing relief from dryness. This hemp infused lotion is also packed with antioxidants and vitamins that promote healthy-looking skin.
The cream also contains a blend of botanicals, including arnica montana and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), that are known to soothe skin and support elasticity. It also contains menthol and camphor, which are topical pain relievers that work to ease muscle and joint pain.
Nature’s Remedy: Hemp Oil Creams for Pain Relief
Some research has shown that applying CBD cream to the skin can reduce pain caused by arthritis and other chronic conditions. The reason that topical applications work is that the cannabinoid components in CBD interact with nerve receptors to block pain signals from reaching the brain, says Dr. Colberg.
Hemp oil is derived from the cannabis plant but unlike marijuana it has little to no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive component that gets you high. It contains cannabidiol (CBD), a chemical that has been shown to help with a wide range of health issues, from anxiety to stress.
