Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics won over our collective heart with their catchy brand name, their minimalist packaging and perhaps most importantly of all, their long-wearing and vibrant Lip Tars. Did you know that said Lip Tars actually include hemp seed oil? It helps your lips stay moisturized, which is no mean feat when it comes to all-day lip products.
In addition to its eye-catching limited edition packaging and its seriously moisturizing formula, this hemp hand protector supports the environment -- which is part of the reason it's formulated with Community Trade hemp seed oil (the other reason is just that hemp seed oil is kind of amazing). You see, since hemp is so easy to grow and has such widespread uses, it's actually quite the sustainable plant, which makes it good for the environment.
As if the cooler-than-cool ultra-modern bottle wasn't reason enough, Balenciaga's popular Florabotanica scent also happens to include hemp leaves as one of its notes, along with white amber, Turkish Rose essence, and more. In short, it smells as amazing as it looks, which is no mean feat.
Did you know that hemp seed oil can also help clear up breakouts? Since its got anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, as well as a propensity for regulating oil production, it can really work wonders on acneic skin types. This multi-tasking oil helps to clear skin while also protecting against free radical damage, and strengthening barrier function.
With all of its other myriad uses, it should come as no surprise that hemp oil is great for hair. SheaMoisture's Moisture-Seal Masque is formulated with mongongo and hemp seed oil to help moisturize the hair and close the cuticle, which in turn helps reduce frizz. Just apply it to your hair for five minutes (or more, if you're feeling luxurious), rinse well and you're good to go!
