Why Hemp Oil?
Hemp oil is derived from commercially produced, organically grown hemp seed. The oil is a rich source of polyunsaturated fats including the essential fatty acids (EFA) Omega 3 and Omega 6 plus GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid). These EFAs are not created naturally by the human body and must be introduced from external sources.

This combination of fatty acids makes hemp seed oil a natural emollient and moisturizer. The regular use of Oregon Trail Soap Company Hemp Soap will replenish the skin’s natural moisturizing barrier that is lost by exposure to the heat and radiation of the sun and other detrimental environments the skin is exposed to.

Shea Butter
Oregon Trail Soap Company also uses Shea Butter in the formulation of our handcrafted Hemp Soap. Shea Butter is cold-pressed from the nut pulp of the Karite tree, growing in western Africa savannas, French West Indies and the Caribbean Sea islands. Shea butter exceeds Cocoa Butter in its skin protecting capabilities. A rich emollient, Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer that maintains and protects the skin.

Oregon Trail Soap Company has combined these two superior moisturizers to produce a soap bar that, with continued use, will leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed and your hair glossy and manageable.
