Understanding and Comparing Ingredients

Not all hemp-based skincare products deliver on their promises. Some products may claim to be “organic” on the label but fall short in terms of safety, effectiveness, or even quality. Understand what’s actually inside your skincare, why it matters and how to tell if an item will live up to its hype.

Avoid wasting money on underwhelming formulas. Know which ingredients matter.

These guides help you:

Compare manufacturing methods: Understand the differences in how hemp products are made. Understand what this means for potency and skin compatibility.
Evaluate formulations: Learn how to assess whether a product uses dermatologically recommended ingredients and whether any additives (like preservatives) could irritate sensitive skin.
Meaningful actives vs filler ingredients: See how complementary botanicals like squalane, jojoba, calendula, or niacinamide can enhance a hemp-based formula.
Verify certifications: Know how to identify organic certifications, vegan/cruelty-free logos and what to make of claims like “dermatologically tested”.
