6 Active Ingredients to support the skins cellular structure.
Our Hemp + Hibiscus Face Oil contains only luxury active ingredients that help heal your skin barrier so that your skin can maintain hydration and protect itself against environmental stressors.
Hemp Seed Oil
~ Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, hemp seed oil has been shown to have moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for various skin types, including acne-prone skin. It can help regulate oil production and soothe skin irritation.
Hibiscus Oil
~
Hibiscus oil contains antioxidants like vitamin C and anthocyanins, which can protect the skin from oxidative stress and contribute to anti-aging effects by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
~
Hibiscus oil contains natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as citric acid and malic acid, which have mild exfoliating effects. Regular use of AHAs can help promote cell turnover, resulting in smoother, brighter skin. [Source: Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology]
Jojoba Oil
~
Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, making it an effective moisturizer that can balance oil production without clogging pores. It has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and can help soothe irritated skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
Pomegranate Oil
~
Pomegranate oil is rich in punicic acid, a potent antioxidant that has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects on the skin. It can help promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Cherry Kernel Oil
~
Cherry kernel oil contains vitamins A and E, which help repair and protect the skin from environmental damage. It also has moisturizing properties and can improve skin texture and tone. Additionally, it's lightweight and easily absorbed, making it suitable for all skin types.
Barbary Fig / Prickly Pear Oil
~
Prickly pear oil is rich in vitamin E, K and other antioxidants, which protect the skin from free radical damage and promote skin regeneration. It has moisturising properties and can help improve skin elasticity, making it useful for anti-aging skincare routines.
Scientific Literature
1. Anti- Inflammatory: As for their use in cosmetics, CBD, CBC, THCV and CBDV have potential for formulations for acne-prone skin, while CBG and CBGV are promising for regulating sebum production in dry skin. Almost all cannabinoids have an antibacterial and antioxidant action which is a good added value.
Hemp Seed Oil is interesting because of its content of flavonoids, terpenes, carotenoids and phytosterols which ensure its anti-inflammatory and anti-aging action. In addition, its ω-6/ω-3 content is ideal for the skin. It is a rapidly absorbed and non-comedogenic oil. It naturally contains tocopherol and chlorophyll. This oil is therefore of interest for formulations for all skin types, especially sensitive skin, and as a sun cream. It has potential for anti-ageing formulations.

2. Antioxidant Activity of Hibiscus: The high phenolic content and antioxidant activity ofH. roseusextracts suggest that they may have also an UV absorbing activity. Both leaf and flower extracts ofH. roseusat 0.1 mg mL−1showed comparable SPF results (p> 0.05): 2.6 ± 0.15 for HL and 2.4 ± 0.19 for HF. These results are promising, since a standard sunscreen formulation containing 8% homosalate (a widely applied chemical sunscreen) showed an SPF value of 4 [69,70]. The results found here forH. roseuswere similar to those found for other plant species [68,69,71,72] and are important considering the low concentration of the extracts used to test this effect. The SPF and anti-collagenase activity of both extracts were similar and comparable to those of synthetic standards. The overall results demonstrate thatH. roseusextracts are promising sources of bioactive phenolic compounds that could be potentially applied as anti-aging agents in skin-care cosmetics.

3. Anti-aging Effects: Pomegranate oil contains bioactive compounds such as punicalagins and ellagic acid, which have been studied for their anti-aging properties. The study found that it stimulated keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting potential anti-aging benefits.

4. Moisturizing Properties: Cherry kernel oil is rich in oleic acid, which can help moisturize the skin. A study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences in 2018 titled "Role of Oleic Acid in the Skin" discusses the moisturizing effects of oleic acid and its potential benefits for various skin conditions, suggesting that cherry kernel oil may help improve skin hydration and barrier function.
5. Wound Healing Properties: Prickly pear seed oil is rich in linoleic acid and other fatty acids. The study found that prickly pear seed oil prevented the formation of wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity, suggesting its potential as a moisturizing and anti-aging agent for the skin. The study found that prickly pear extract accelerated wound closure and enhanced tissue regeneration, indicating its potential for promoting wound healing.
