Hemp cosmetics are transforming modern skincare, and Multitrance stocks one of the most complete hemp and CBD cosmetics ranges available in Europe. Across six categories and three specialist brands, every formula is built on Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil or declared cannabidiol (CBD), and every product complies with EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009. This guide covers the science behind hemp cosmetics and helps you find the right product for your needs.
What Are Hemp Cosmetics?
Hemp cosmetics are skincare, bodycare, and haircare products formulated with ingredients derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, primarily hemp seed oil, CBD (cannabidiol), and hemp extract. They contain no THC and produce no psychoactive effect.
There are two distinct types, and it matters which one you choose:
Hemp cosmetics use Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil or hemp seed extract. These deliver omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to the skin without containing cannabidiol. Multitrance’s PALACIO Hemp Serie and BioHemp range fall into this category.
CBD cosmetics additionally contain declared cannabidiol as a named active ingredient in the INCI list. Multitrance’s cannabellum and AmityCare products carry a declared CBD content: from 10mg to 50mg per product, clearly stated on every label.
Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil is cold-pressed from hemp seeds and rich in linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) in a ratio that closely mirrors the skin’s own lipid profile. It absorbs without clogging pores and suits all skin types including acne-prone and oily skin. It forms the base of the entire PALACIO Hemp Serie.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid with documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Cannabellum products declare their CBD content explicitly, for example, the CBD Body Balsam contains 50mg CBD, and the CBD Face Mask delivers 50mg CBD per 150ml treatment.
Lipobelleâ„¢ Pino C is a proprietary encapsulated CBD complex used exclusively in AmityCare formulas, combined with Swiss Stone Pine extract for enhanced skin penetration. It’s the active behind the AmityCare CBD Cooling Gel.
Supporting actives across the range include Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5), Shea Butter, Hyaluronic Acid, Menthol, Camphor, and Reishi mushroom extract, all chosen for their compatibility with hemp and CBD formulas.
Deep, Long-Lasting Hydration
The linoleic acid in hemp seed oil reinforces the skin’s moisture barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This is the mechanism behind PALACIO’s shower gels and bath products, and behind cannabellum’s CBD Hyaluron Face Cream, which pairs hemp seed oil with hyaluronic acid for layered, visible firming.
Reduced Inflammation and Redness
CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties make it effective for acne, eczema, rosacea, and reactive skin. Cannabellum’s CBD Canneczema Cream is specifically formulated for sensitive and reactive skin: Bio Vegan certified, silicone-free, and dermatologically tested. Similarly, the CBD acnecann Cream targets blemish-prone skin with a natural CBD formula.
Anti-Aging Protection
Antioxidants in hemp: vitamin E, CBD, and terpenes, neutralize free radicals that break down collagen. Cannabellum’s CBD Anti-Aging Face Cream and CBD Bio Serum (brightening, organic, for dry skin) both address this through complementary mechanisms: daytime protection and overnight collagen support.
Overnight Skin Renewal
Hemp’s amino acid content supports collagen synthesis during the skin’s natural repair cycle. Cannabellum’s CannaDream Advanced Night Cream is built around this principle, delivering CBD and deep hydration during overnight renewal when the skin is most receptive.
Balanced Oil Production
Hemp seed oil’s linoleic acid signals the skin to regulate sebum output, making it effective for oily and combination skin without stripping the barrier. PALACIO’s shower gels and the cannabellum CBD Face Cleansing Foam both leverage this for gentle, balanced cleansing.
Whatever your skincare routine looks like, there’s a category here built for it.
Start in the bath and shower: PALACIO’s hemp bath salts, bubble baths, and shower gels are the most accessible way to bring Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil into your daily routine, and they make genuinely good gifts.
For the body, the bodycare range steps up to declared CBD: the cannabellum Body Balsam and Canneczema Cream are formulated for people with real skin concerns, not just people who want the word “hemp” on the label.
Haircare covers shampoos and intensive masks from cannabellum. All silicone-free, all with declared CBD, and built to actually improve hair and scalp condition rather than just coat it.
The massage category is the broadest in the range. It runs from PALACIO’s classic hemp massage gels to the AmityCare CBD Cooling Gel with Lipobelleâ„¢ Pino C, a specialist active recovery formula that sits a step above anything else we stock.
Skincare is where cannabellum does its most focused work: a complete facial routine, from cleansing foam to overnight renewal cream, plus dedicated formulas for acne-prone and eczema-prone skin that are genuinely hard to find in this category.
And for the sun season, the CannaProtect suncare range from PALACIO covers SPF protection, body oil, after sun, and tan enhancement, all with hemp seed oil at the core.

Common Questions About Hemp Cosmetics
Will hemp cosmetics make me high? No. Hemp cosmetics contain no THC. Neither Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil nor topical CBD produces any psychoactive effect.
What’s the difference between hemp and CBD cosmetics? Hemp cosmetics use hemp seed oil: rich in fatty acids, with no cannabidiol. CBD cosmetics contain declared cannabidiol in the INCI. At Multitrance, PALACIO products are hemp-based; cannabellum and AmityCare products are CBD-declared.
Are these products EU-compliant? Yes. Every product complies with EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009. No medicinal claims are made. All CBD is declared on-label within permitted cosmetic use.
Do you offer wholesale? Yes. Multitrance supplies hemp and CBD cosmetics to retailers, pharmacies, health stores, sports shops, spas, and distributors across Europe. Contact us for trade pricing and wholesale terms.
Are these products suitable for sensitive skin? Several products are specifically formulated for sensitive skin: including the Canneczema Cream (Bio Vegan, Silicone Free, dermatologically tested), the CBD Body Balsam (Silicone Free, Family Product), and BioHemp 2-in-1 Shower Shampoo (Family Product, SLES-free). Always check the INCI and patch-test if you have a known allergy.
Conclusion
Hemp cosmetics offer a scientifically grounded, naturally derived approach to skin, hair, and body care.
