Main Components of Virgin Hemp Oil - Seeds
Composed of Linoleic Acid (from 45 to 60%), Linolenic Acid (from 15 to 20%), Oleic Acid (from 10 to 15%), Palmitic Acid (from 5 to 10%) and Stearic Acid (from 1 to 5 %). It contains Tocopherol (from 580 to 650mg/Kg of oil, with Gamma being the one with the highest presence, 70% of the total), Caryophyllene (from 750 to 800mg/kg of oil) and Myrcene (from 150 to 200mg/kg of oil).
Therapeutic Properties and Cosmetic Uses of Virgin Hemp Oil - Seeds
In combination, its Tocopherol, Caryophyllene and Myrcene compounds work as antioxidants, although it does not make it one of the most stable oils at an oxidative level since the load of antioxidants it contains naturally is relatively sufficient compared to the high content of Polyunsaturated. In any case, being rich in Carotenoids, Chlorophyll and Polyphenols, it reaches enough, surpassing the oxidative index quite well and is placed almost at the same level as that of virgin olive in this sense.
The interesting thing about this oil is that it has the ability to behave as an absorber of solar radiation, which makes it a good candidate as a sun protection factor within the formulas it integrates.
Hemp oil has regenerative properties in skin tissues, acting as an excellent healing agent and, at the same time, moisturizing the dermis. It has a high absorption rate due to its high polyunsaturated content, which makes it a dry oil, meaning that it does not leave a greasy trace after its application. It also helps to stabilize the rate of evaporation of water contained in the skin.
Its acid content Linolenic (polyunsaturated fatty acid) makes it effective as an anti-inflammatory of the dermis (topically), helps keep the skin moisturized, allowing it to store more water. On the other hand, it not only positively influences the dermis, but also the stratum corneum and the epidermis, since it acts as an emollient and has a good antiseptic capacity, this increases the protection of the skin against external bacterial and fungal attacks. Another characteristic of this fatty acid, applied topically, is that it increases the plasticity of the stratum corneum since it makes the keratin more flexible and prevents desquamation acceleration, in addition to providing greater resistance to the outer layer of the skin because it is more flexible at a structural level. helps it to repair itself more quickly when it is damaged. The oils that contain this type of fatty acid are the most tolerated by sensitive or atopic skin since it is a great regulator of histamines and highly hypoallergenic, which helps reduce the ability of some substances to cause allergies. (Perilla seed oil is the one that concentrates the highest amount of Linolenic acid).
Hemp oil contains acid linoleic It is a so-called essential polyunsaturated fatty acid, although it must be taken into account that its greatest benefits are achieved when consumed internally, we must not forget its great contributions when used topically, since it works as an excellent tissue anti-inflammatory while helping to prevent water loss from the skin. On the other hand, it is effective in the treatment of acne since it stimulates the skin's defenses and favors the evacuation and elimination of toxins accumulated in it. It also prevents the pores from becoming clogged due to excessive sebum secretion, which happens very often in oily skin types. It is also a very important component in mature skin that suffers from dehydration, since this type of skin usually supplies the lack of water by secreting a greater amount of sebum to avoid the superficial rigidity of the epidermis due to dehydration, which complicates the situation because the sebum itself it only tends to generate skin impermeability when the tissues are short of water. An interesting fact about this fatty acid is that it decreases the amount of tyrosinase applied topically, which translates into noticeable improvements in skin blemishes, and in continuous treatment it noticeably reduces their size and prevents new ones from appearing. It has a very high penetration capacity.
the acid oleic It is a monounsaturated fatty acid, very stable against oxidative factors such as heat or UV and Gamma rays. At the level of benefits for our skin, it favors the assimilation and absorption of active ingredients by it, despite having a medium absorption rate. At this point it is necessary to clarify that the greater or lesser absorption in the skin will depend on the need it has for the element that is available on it. The skin is a complex organ with its own intelligence regarding the metabolism of nutrients and fatty acids, in general, polyunsaturated fatty acids have preference for absorption, the following on the admission list are monounsaturated, followed by the saturated ones that usually give better service in the horny layer as flexors and protectors. Clarified this, we continue with the contributions of Oleic acid: It directly influences cellular metabolic processes and acts as a marker and vehicle, this means that it greatly favors the assimilation, by cells, of active principles that are associated with it. For this reason it is a fundamental ingredient in cosmetic formulations that focus on the action of nourishing, repairing, rebuilding and restructuring the dermis and hypodermis, not for this reason the % in the formula should be excessive, the skin will only absorb an average amount of this fatty acid, hence the importance of the % balance of the lipid profile of all the vegetable oils that make up the formula. On the other hand, it is a restorative and restorative of sensory receptors, it is also one of the fundamental components of the layer that covers and insulates the nerve that carries the information sent by these receptors to the central nervous system.
