Popsugar Beauty Beauty Shopping Hemp Beauty Products 10 Beauty Products That Prove Hemp Is a Hero Ingredient 27 December 2018 by Elizabeth Bennett Image Source: Unsplash / Tiara Leitzman As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too.

With many more of us keen to create eco-friendly skin and hair routines, hemp is having its moment in the beauty spotlight. Its sustainable credentials are impressive: not only is it a zero-waste crop, but it is also four times more effective at capturing CO2 than trees. Not to be confused with cannabis or CBD, hemp is part of the same family but a completely different plant. THC levels are much, much lower in hemp (it's been said that you would need to smoke a whole field to get high). Packed with natural fatty acids, hemp oil is a superstar skincare ingredient and excellent for hydrating dry areas, reducing inflammation, and soothing skin. It's been used in beauty products by The Body Shop since the '90s, and a plethora of other brands are now jumping on the bandwagon. Get your hemp fix with our edit of the best products.
