With its numerous cosmetic properties, hemp oil is a true Swiss Army knife for skin and hair.

Ideal for all skin types, hemp oil for the face is particularly suitable for dry, delicate, and mature skin, and will not fail to strengthen tired hair.

Do you want to know more about this precious vegetable oil, often called "green gold"?

Let's go!

Organic hemp oil is obtained by first cold pressing hemp seeds.

This cold extraction process preserves all the beneficial properties of the oil.

To be certified organic, hemp oil must be produced according to strict organic farming standards, without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

At Senza, we have selected committed producers who cultivate hemp in Brittany... organically, of course!

Thanks to its high content of omegas (3 and 6) and vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C, D, and E), hemp oil is used for its numerous cosmetic properties:

• Nourishing: not very greasy when applied, hemp oil deeply nourishes dry and damaged skin;
   
• Firming: thanks to its many antioxidant properties, hemp oil is a valuable ally against skin aging;
   
• Anti-inflammatory: particularly suitable for sensitive skin, hemp oil helps reduce redness and skin inflammation related to acne, psoriasis, or eczema;
   
• Hydrating and protective: hemp oil hydrates and strengthens the skin as well as damaged hair. It will also bring volume and shine to dull or fine hair;
   

These numerous cosmetic properties make hemp oil a bathroom Swiss Army knife that truly deserves its nickname "green gold" 🌳

Beyond its culinary use, organic hemp oil can be used for many cosmetic purposes on the face, body, and hair.

Pour a few drops into the palm of your hand and apply morning and/or evening, massaging well until completely absorbed into the skin.

• Facial care: use it as a soothing and nourishing treatment.
   
• Face mask: in a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of hemp oil with 3 tablespoons of one of our Senza powder masks and 1 tablespoon of water or Senza hydrosol. Apply to the face for about 5 minutes, without letting it dry. If you wish to extend the experience, regularly spray water or hydrosol on the face to maintain hydration. Then rinse with clear water.
   
• Body care: to restore the skin's barrier function.

Apply a few drops along the length of the hair and on the ends of damaged hair to nourish, hydrate, and strengthen it.

You can also massage the scalp before going to bed and leave it on all night (feel free to use a towel to protect your sheets) to add volume and shine to dull or fine hair.

The next day, simply wash your hair with your usual shampoo, ideally with cold water.

Organic hemp oil is applied pure to the skin or hair, massaging gently to ensure good absorption.

Small tip: if the skin is slightly damp (after showering or sprayed with floral water/hydrosol), the oil penetrates even better!

To best preserve its quality, store your organic hemp oil in a cool place away from light.

Generally, well-preserved organic hemp oil can be used for 6 months to 1 year after opening.

The frequency of using a vegetable oil for the body can vary depending on your specific needs, skin type, and personal preferences.

Organic hemp oil can be applied daily without risk. We recommend applying it morning and evening for optimal results.

The prices of different oils sometimes vary greatly. Certain key criteria have a direct impact on the final price of the organic hemp oil offered to you:

• The extraction method: while cold extraction best preserves the oil's properties, its yield is lower. This method is therefore more expensive than hot extraction, which is more time and production efficient but less respectful of the oils and consumes more energy.
   
• The production location: French labor is more expensive because workers are better protected than in other European or more distant countries.
   
• The proposed packaging: a glass bottle costs more than a plastic bottle but allows for the implementation of a virtuous deposit system.

In France, the price of quality organic hemp oil generally ranges between 8 and 30 euros for a 30 to 50ml bottle.

→ at Senza, our organic hemp oil, manufactured in France from 100% organic hemp seeds and certified Nature & Progrès (the strictest certification in the sector), is offered at €9.90 for 50ml.

Considering a few key criteria will help you choose your organic French hemp oil well:

1. Organic Certification: check if the organic hemp oil you found is certified, preferably with a recognized label. The Nature & Progrès label is the strictest in the sector.
Organic certification will assure you that the oil was produced according to strict organic farming standards, and that the plants were harvested without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

2. Extraction process: Cold pressing is preferable, as this method preserves the nutrients and beneficial properties of the oil.

3. Origin: By choosing a local, organic, and therefore French, hemp oil, you support local supply chains and the local economy.

4. Composition: Hemp oil is self-sufficient. Its ingredient list should therefore not contain any additives or undesirable substances.

5. Packaging: If the organic hemp oil you have chosen comes in a returnable glass bottle, it can be cleaned and refilled as part of a circular zero-waste approach!

• It's a 100% natural, omega-rich treatment.
   
• Its many cosmetic benefits for skin and hair make it a Swiss Army knife for your bathroom.
   
• It's easy to use daily! A few drops in the palm of your hand, then applied to the skin or hair, are enough.
   
• At Senza, it's obviously organic and French, like all our virgin oils!

In short, it's true "green gold"!

Hemp is one of the most ecological plants. One hectare of hemp absorbs as much CO2 as one hectare of forest. Furthermore, its deep root system helps drain and purify soils. Hemp is also capable of fixing radioactivity. Thus, it has been used in disaster areas like Chernobyl to help naturally decontaminate the soil there.
