- Hemp in Cosmetics
- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, omega-3, C18:3) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, omega-6, C18:3) provide an anti-inflammatory effect.
- GLA is considered itch-relieving. This is attributed to the fact that it is an important part of the skin and a precursor for synthesizing the hormone prostaglandin E1 with anti-inflammatory and itch-relieving properties.
- Skin and cell regeneration due to ALA .
- ALA fluidizes the membranes of the skin cells.
- The body cannot produce linoleic acid (omega-6, C18:2) itself, but needs it for synthesizing ceramide. Ceramides are important parts of the stratum corneum, which reduces Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).
- As essential components of the skin barrier layer, phytosterols also reduce TEWL.
- Hemp in the Pharmaceutical Sector
- High level of gliding capacity.
- • Drying due to the high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids.

- Hemp in the Pharmaceutical Sector
- Supports with high cholesterol values, arteriosclerosis and skin dysfunctions, suitable thanks to its high content of linoleic acid (omega-6, C18:2), alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3, C18:3) and gamma-linolenic acid (omega-6, C18:3).
- Capsules for food supplementation as a common form of administration.
- Hemp in Animal Nutrition and Care
- In food for dogs, cats and horses based on the beneficial fatty acid composition.
- Used as a single feed or in complete and supplementary feeds.
