Author: Eva Keller
Hemp ointments from Cannadorra are well-known for their unique formulation based on traditional home recipes. Whether you need an ointment for skin care or joint pain relief, these products offer a variety of benefits. Let’s explore what makes them special and how they can help you.
Are Hemp Ointments Legal?
One of the most common questions about CBD and hemp products is their legality. Hemp and CBD ointments from Cannadorra are fully legal cosmetics, containing international CPNP certification. They comply with the legal THC limit of up to 0.2%, which does not have any narcotic effect and cannot be detected in drug tests. Therefore, using these products is safe, and you can drive or operate machinery without any concerns.
What Do Hemp Ointments Contain?
The base of every ointment is fat, and Cannadorra uses lanolin, which is sheep fat. Lanolin keeps the skin fresh and supple longer than other bases like Vaseline or lard. Here are some key ingredients and their benefits:
Vitamins and Minerals: Hemp seeds are rich in vitamins like E, which promotes healthy skin tissue growth, and C, which helps with collagen production and skin tone. B vitamins in hemp oil also help maintain elastic skin.
Essential Fatty Acids: Hemp ointments provide essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which increase skin elasticity and support its basic functions and appearance. These fatty acids also help produce collagen and elastin, preventing wrinkles and retaining moisture.
CBD (Cannabidiol): CBD has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, making it beneficial for various skin conditions. Combining CBD with supplements like hemp protein, seeds, or CBD hemp oil enhances these benefits.
Benefits of Hemp Ointments
Wrinkle Reduction: The antioxidant properties of hemp help remove free radicals, slowing down skin aging and reducing wrinkles. Regular use can improve the appearance of fine lines.
Stretch Mark Prevention: Hemp ointment can help remove or prevent stretch marks, especially during pregnancy. It regenerates and soothes the skin, quickly penetrating deeply to relieve pain and inflammation.
Varicose Veins Treatment: Hemp ointments can promote healing for varicose veins. Regular application can relieve symptoms like leg heaviness, swelling, and varicose veins. Including hemp seeds in your diet can also be beneficial.
Acne Treatment: Hemp's cleansing and anti-inflammatory effects make it ideal for acne-prone skin. It helps maintain the skin's protective layer and provides essential nutrients for recovery.
Atopic Eczema Relief: Hemp products, especially those with CBD, are praised for easing the symptoms of atopic eczema. They soothe itchy and inflamed skin, providing natural relief.
Osteoarthritis and Joint Pain: Hemp containing CBD is not psychotropic and helps with joint pain caused by arthritis and osteoarthritis. It can be used alongside hemp ointments for added relief.
