• It prevents oxidative stress and firms up mature skin.

  Containing vitamin E and phytosterols, hemp oil is an excellent antioxidant treatment. As a reminder, free radicals are reactive oxygen species naturally produced by the body. However, when cells are subjected to stress, they produce these in excess. The sources of stress are numerous, the main ones being exposure to UVA, pollution, smoking, and a diet too rich in fats and/or sugars. Free radicals are particularly unstable molecules due to their unpaired electron. They tend to react with other molecules to form an electron pair, thereby causing damage to the body's cells, DNA, and proteins. This accelerates aging and causes wrinkles to appear on the skin's surface.

Thanks to its content of essential fatty acids, this vegetable oil revitalizes dehydrated and dry hair, providing it with shine. By penetrating the hair fibers, it limits the evaporation of water.
Furthermore, the vitamin E and phytosterols present in hemp oil protect the hair from external aggressions, -pollution, sun, cigarette smoke...- which generate an overproduction of free radicals. This phenomenon, known as oxidative stress, is a factor linked to the deterioration of hair fibers, the appearance of white hair, or even hair loss. Hemp oil and the molecules it contains neutralize free radicals to prevent them from causing harm and maintain good hair quality for as long as possible.
