Why I choose Hemp Seed OIl as a Base for my Soaps

Updated: Oct 23

I have a variety of fragrances or even a natural bar of soaps that I make. All sell currently for $10.00. This price will fluctuate depending on the cost of essential oils that I use to create the fragrance. Hemp seed oil has many health benefits that are virtually unknown to many. These are a few of them.




Hemp seed oil is extracted from seeds of the hemp plant. The extraction occurs through cold-pressing, similar to the way olive oil is made through olives being cold pressed. The Health benefits of Hemp seed oil comes from its ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids which is 3-1. Experts have agreed that this 3-1 ratio is ideal for health benefits in humans. It is also high in content of three polyunsaturated fatty acids.


A dermatology study found that oral consumption of hemp seed oil improves symptoms of atopic-dermatitis also known as eczema. Researchers attribute these results to the fatty acids found in hemp seed oil.


Hemp seed Oil was also found useful in treating other skin conditions, such as cradle cap, psoriasis, and acne. It also seems to strengthen the skin and make it better able to resist infection.


The abundance of omega- 3 fatty acid can help lower blood pressure in people with hypertension and as it is rich in linoleic acid it promotes good heart health. A diet of high linoleic acid significantly reduces total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol.


Lowering cholesterol levels reduces your risk of high blood-pressure, stroke, and heart disease.


Hemp seed oil’s anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce pain. You can even apply hemp seed oil directly to a painful area for natural pain relief. Gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) present in hemp seed oil has been shown to reduce inflammation. A review of studies suggests that natural herbs rich in GLA are effective in relieving symptoms of inflammatory conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.


Hemp Seed oil also promotes a healthy pregnancy.


What more could you ask for from a bar of soap with the exception of course of being clean. My soaps leave you clean and smelling lovely. I use one bar of soap and it lasts me for a month. I even shave with it as it lathers nice too.
