Hemp oil for eczema and acne support

Want to know more about the benefits of hemp oil for eczema and acne? KANAPU Hemp Seed Oil is naturally enriched with 4%+ Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) – known for its anti-inflammatory qualities.

Read on to discover how hemp seed oil has been shown to reduce the symptoms of skin irritations like eczema and acne.

Both eczema and acne are chronic inflammatory skin diseases. A diet with an optimal combination of omega-6 fatty acids (GLA) and omega-3 fatty acids has been reported to improve the chronic inflammatory skin diseases.

KANAPU Hemp Seed Oil is a good candidate to support chronic skin conditions as it contains around 80 % of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), of which 60 % of PUFAs is omega-6 fatty acids and 15 % PUFAs is omega-3 fatty acids. Regular consumption (2 tablespoons per day for 8 weeks) of hemp seed oil has been found to decrease skin dryness and itchiness, and reduce the use of dermal medication in atopic dermatitis (eczema) patients.

In addition, consuming 400 mg of GLA per day for 10 weeks has been reported to decrease both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions. Consuming 2 teaspoons of KANAPU Hemp Seed Oil (~10 g) or 2 tablespoons of KANAPU Hemp Seed Flakes (~30 g) provides around 0.4 g of GLA daily to support chronic skin inflammation conditions.
