High in polyunsaturated Essential Fatty Acids (and low in saturated fatty acids), and one of the few oils to contain measurable levels of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), this natural, unrefined Hempseed Oil has great anti-inflammatory characteristics and is particularly emollient for dry, wrinkled skin. Said to be one of the "driest" oils, it penetrates the skin very quickly.
An ideal component of creams, lip balms, lotions and soaps. It makes a silky-smooth soap bar with great lather.
