Hemp seed oil is a common ingredient in both skincare and hair-care product formulations, valued in the cosmetics industry as a carrier and functional oil.

Skincare and Cosmetics

Hemp seed oil is used as an ingredient in formulations including creams, lotions, body oils, massage products, and lip balm. It’s sold and marketed as an ingredient or carrier oil for skincare use, including by suppliers offering certified-organic formulations. Refined hemp seed oil is described as being used primarily in body-care product formulations. Additional cited cosmetic uses include liquid and bar soap, shaving products, and facial oils.

Hair Care

Hemp seed oil is also used in hair-care formulations such as shampoo and conditioner. In hair-product formulations, suppliers describe it as contributing to manageability and shine as a cosmetic-product characteristic.

Summary

Hemp seed oil functions as a versatile carrier and functional ingredient across cosmetics, from facial and body products to hair-care formulations, distinct from its dietary and industrial uses covered elsewhere on this wiki.
