I see PAWZitive Therapy contains cold-pressed hempseed oil, why? What are the benefits to the skin?
Cold pressed hemp seed oil is well known for its many benefits in the high-end cosmetic industry…just ask The Body Shop! A number of their best selling skin care products contain high levels of hempseed oil. The benefits of EFA’s, and especially GLA, for healthy skin makes hempseed oil a highly effective skin care nutrient. Hemp seed oil contains an unusually high concentration of EFA’s, making it an ideal natural ingredient for treating dry skin and abrasions. Hemp’s lipid constituents allow it to permeate through intact skin to nourish cells directly while also carrying therapeutic substances with it into the skin. More than 75% of its fatty acids are polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (EFA’s). These impart excellent emollient, lubricating, moisturizing and protection properties to the pads and rough skin areas of both dogs and cats.
