HYDROLYZED HEMP SEED EXTRACT

Description

Hydrolyzed Hemp Seed Extract is a cutting-edge ingredient derived from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. This natural extract undergoes hydrolysis, a process that breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components. Rich in essential fatty acids, particularly omega-3 and omega-6, as well as proteins and amino acids, this extract offers a multitude of benefits for both skin and hair care formulations.

In skincare, Hydrolyzed Hemp Seed Extract acts as an excellent moisturizer and emollient, helping to maintain skin hydration and improve barrier function. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. The extract's high antioxidant content provides protection against free radical damage, potentially slowing the signs of aging.

For hair care, this ingredient can strengthen hair strands, improve elasticity, and enhance overall hair health. It may also help to moisturize the scalp, reducing dryness and flaking. The protein content in the extract can contribute to hair repair and protection from environmental stressors.

Hydrolyzed Hemp Seed Extract is non-psychoactive and does not contain THC, making it a safe and legal option for cosmetic formulations.
