Properties

Internal and external use.

Hemp oil is the most perfectly balanced oil, with a total of EFA reaching 75 %. The body requires from other substances the two EFA it cannot produce. From EFA it will produces GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid).
The ratio between Omega-3 and Omega 6 is 1 for 3, optimal ratio of the two Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) Omega-3 Linolenic Acid (LNA) and Omega-6 Linoleic Acid (LA). See all articles on Omega 3 needs.
Furthermore Hemp Oil contains 2.6% of GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) and it has been shown that factors of modern life (diet, environment, etc..) can inhibit the body's capability to produce GLA.

Cosmetic uses

At this time, cold press Hemp oil seems to be the most balanced and efficient oil used in cosmetic. It has excellent anti aging properties, keeps the skin moist and soft.

The high level of EFA (Essential Fatty Acids) in Hemp oil is a precious defense against free radicals responsible for the oxidation of our cells, in other words aging and wrinkles.

Used for massage, Hemp oil is one of the most penetrative oil.

Codina's Hemp Butter

EFA’s, particularly Omega-6 and GLA, preserve the "barrier function" of cell membranes. Skin that is deficient in these nutrients allows more moisture loss and can show dryness and loss of elasticity.
The Hemp Butter strengthens and preserves this barrier, which also helps to protect the skin from the outside environment. The Hemp Butter can reduce skin discomfort by soothing & restoring dry or damaged skin and increasing the natural moisture retention capacity. (Our hemp butter is made of 60% shea butter and 40% hemp).

We first developed this product for European Hospitals that found our Hemp butter an efficient and natural solution for their patient suffering from bebsore.

Our Hemp butter is also a gentle way to prevent babies diaper rash.
