Hemp in skin care: ingredients and how hemp cosmetics are used

In short: Hemp-based cosmetics such as gels and ointments are used as part of a skin-care routine. They contain hemp extract and botanical ingredients and are intended for external use on the skin – as cosmetics, not as treatments.

Hemp in skin care

Hemp-derived ingredients have become popular in cosmetics. Hemp seed oil and hemp extract are used in creams, gels and ointments as part of everyday skin-care routines, valued for their texture and botanical origin.

Common hemp skin-care ingredients

• Cold-pressed hemp seed oil, rich in fatty acids.
• Full-spectrum hemp extract with CBD.
• Botanical additions such as lavender, arnica or menthol.
• Beeswax and plant oils for a smooth texture.

Using hemp cosmetics

Hemp cosmetics are applied externally to the skin. As with any cosmetic, it is a good idea to test a small area first, and to keep products away from the eyes and mucous membranes. Choose products that clearly state their ingredients and CBD content.
