| The Beauty of Hemp
We are Bath Desserts, a skincare company dedicated to creating natural products infused with the rejuvenating powers of hemp seed oil.
Hemp seed oil is the most nutrient dense plant oil on Earth, made up of 80% essential fatty acids that naturally match the skin’s own lipid ratio. This property, unique to Hemp seed oil alone allows for a non-greasy, deep cellular hydration treatment, promoting a healthy and youthful appearance.
Hemp seed oil has been treasured for many centuries all over the world for its soothing, moisturizing quality and has been recognized to help moisturize dry skin and aging skin as well as eczema and psoriasis.
Hemp seed oil has an ideal 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, perfectly mimicking the needs of the human body. The reason hemp is so effective is because of the essential fatty acids (EFAs) it contains. More than 75% of the EFAs in hemp seed oil are poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and are known for their excellent moisturizng properties.
In cosmetic testing, EFAs have been shown to play a preventive role in the skin aging process. Moisture loss from the body is regulated by a barrier which the skin forms to protect itself from the outside environment. EFAs, particularly Omega-6 and Gamma Linoleic Acid, preserve the "barrier function" of cell membranes. Skin that is deficient in these nutrients allows moisture loss and will show dryness and loss of elasticity. The PUFAs in hemp seed oil have been shown to prevent skin dryness and to help restore damaged skin to its normal state.
