Abstract
Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en alrededor de 15 artículos científicos entre el
año 2004 y el año 2023 sobre el Cáñamo aplicado a las afecciones de la piel. Como
resultado de esta revisión, se confirma que el aceite de semilla de Cáñamo incluido en
la dieta tiene propiedades beneficiosas para la piel y también ha sido ampliamente
investigado por su efecto beneficioso sobre las enfermedades inflamatorias de la piel,
como el acné, la seborrea, la dermatitis y la psoriasis, en ungüento de aplicación tópica.
Beneficios del aceite de semilla de cáñamo:
El aceite de semilla de cáñamo, rico en ácidos grasos esenciales, tiene propiedades
beneficiosas para la piel y tiene acción sobre la dermatitis atópica (que afecta 5% y el
20% de la población infantil en todo el mundo), la dermatitis seborreica (que afecta a
entre el 1% y el 5% de la población mundial), la psoriasis y, especialmente, el acné.
El cáñamo está despertando actualmente un creciente interés en cosmética y
dermatología. En la revisión de Mnekin & Ripoll (2021), se analizan los compuestos
biológicamente activos (terpenos, flavonoides, carotenoides y fitoesteroles) del
cáñamo.
El aceite de semilla de cáñamo y sus compuestos bioactivos menores, como, también
se analizan por su valor agregado en la formulación cosmética (Mnekin & Ripoll, 2021).

El aceite de semilla de cáñamo, como aceite rico en ácidos grasos esenciales (ELA),
tiene propiedades beneficiosas para la piel y tiene acción sobre la dermatitis atópica,
la psoriasis y, especialmente, el acné (Mnekin & Ripoll, 2021)
Dermatitis atópica:
La dermatitis atópica también conocida como eczema es una enfermedad crónica de
la piel causada por un complejo de interacciones genéticas, inmunológicas y
ambientales (Vincent, 2017). Es una dermatitis crónica y recurrente que generalmente
aparece durante la infancia o la primera infancia. Afecta entre el 5% y el 20% de la
población infantil en todo el mundo (Bodemer, 2021).
Las personas con eczema tienen problemas con su barrera cutánea, lo que los pone
en riesgo de una mayor evaporación de la humedad de la piel y una menor capacidad
para mantener la humedad de la piel. También tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar
infecciones de la piel debido a bacterias, virus y hongos (Bodemer, 2021)
Se han investigado varios factores probables, como la dieta, y parece que los ácidos
grasos de la dieta desempeñan un papel fundamental en la manifestación de este
complejo sistema metabólico, que es más o menos disfuncional en pacientes que
desarrollan síntomas de dermatitis atópica. (Callaway et al., 2005)
El aceite de semilla de cáñamo en la dieta provocó cambios significativos en los
perfiles de ácidos grasos plasmáticos y mejoró los síntomas clínicos de la dermatitis
atópica. Se sugiere que estas mejoras fueron el resultado del suministro abundante y
equilibrado de PUFA en este aceite de semilla de cáñamo. (Callaway et al., 2005)
Dermatitis seborreica:
La dermatitis seborreica (SD) es una de las formas más prevalentes de dermatitis. Se
caracteriza como una forma de dermatitis por la presencia de manchas rojas,
escamosas y aceitosas en la zona seborreica, Se estima que afecta a entre el 1 y el 5
por ciento de la población mundial (Intarathachang & Sirithanabadeekul, 2023). El
extracto de semilla de cáñamo podría tener un potencial tratamiento para la dermatitis
seborreica (SD) facial (Intarathachang & Sirithanabadeekul, 2023).
Acné:
Una afección cutánea inflamatoria crónica prevalente que afecta a adolescentes y
adultos jóvenes es el acné vulgar. La enfermedad puede tener una influencia negativa
sobre el bienestar tanto físico como psicológico (Jaruthiti, 2021).
El extracto de semilla de cáñamo para el tratamiento del acné vulgar todavía están in
vitro, pero faltan ensayos clínicos en humanos la crema con extracto de semilla de

cáñamo es una opción de tratamiento alternativa segura y eficaz para el acné vulgar
de leve a moderado (Jaruthiti, 2021)
Según el estudio de Jin et al. (2018), el extracto de semilla de cáñamo parece ejercer
actividad antiinflamatoria, antilipogénesis y antimicrobiana y podría tener potencial
en el tratamiento del acné vulgar. El estudio de Jaruthiti (2021), llegó a la conclusión
de que un extracto de semilla de cannabis al 3 por ciento podría ayudar con el acné
vulgar.
El cáñamo para el cuidado de la piel:
El interés por el cáñamo para productos cosméticos, en particular para el cuidado de
la piel, se debe al alto contenido de ácidos grasos insaturados favorables en las
semillas de cáñamo, en particular los ácidos linoleico, α-linolénico y γ-linolénico, que
influyen en varias funciones importantes de la membrana celular y son interesantes
para el cuidado de la piel. (Vogl et al., 2004), (Kiralan et al., 2010).
El aceite de semilla de cáñamo es perfecto para la mayoría de los tipos de piel; hidrata
la piel y la protege de la inflamación, la oxidación y otras causas del envejecimiento
(Lubart et al., 2023), también ha despertado el interés en su uso para el tratamiento
de enfermedades inflamatorias de la piel (Martins et al., 2022).
El aceite de semilla de cáñamo es un aceite seco no comedogénico, que no deja una
capa grasosa y pegajosa en la piel. Como resultado, se han desarrollado formulaciones
con aceite de semilla de cáñamo como parches humectantes a largo plazo y
emulsiones estables en cosméticos de protección solar (Mnekin & Ripoll, 2021).
En la mayoría de los casos, la curación notable de los problemas crónicos de la piel
comienza dentro de las 2 semanas posteriores al inicio del uso regular del aceite de
semilla de cáñamo. (Callaway et al., 2005)
Cosmética orgánica basada en cáñamo:
Para facilitar el cultivo orgánico de cáñamo con el objetivo de producir cosméticos
orgánicos, se desarrolló un experimento con 20 variedades de cáñamo cultivadas
orgánicamente, cosechadas en tres fechas diferentes, y se presentan los rendimientos
y contenidos de los principales ácidos grasos de (Vogl et al., 2004).

Skin Applications of Cannabidiol: Sources, Effects, Delivery Systems, Marketed Formulations and Safety
Article
Full-text available
In recent decades, the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and analogous compounds has been intensively investigated. The endocannabinoid system has already been identified in the skin and, although much remains to be discovered about its contribution and importance for the maintenance of skin homeostasis, it has been increasingly associated as promising for dermatological disorders’ management. Cannabidiol (CBD), the main non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid in cannabis, has been shown to have hydrating, sebostatic, antipruritic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wound healing, photoprotective, anti-fibrotic and antitumoral, as well as modulating hair growth. Thus, CBD has gained attention concerning its application in cutaneous pathologies such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, epidermolysis bullosa, systemic sclerosis, seborrheic dermatitis, androgenetic alopecia and cutaneous melanoma, although its bioactivities still lack scientific evidence and some of its mechanisms of action remain to be elucidated. Given its physicochemical characteristics, its topical administration becomes challenging, and it is necessary to develop new technological strategies to overcome the skin intact barrier. This review describes the latest evidence that exists on the application of CBD to the skin, the problems inherent to its chemical structure and that compromise its cutaneous administration, and the different strategies and formulations that have been studied to improve it, also clarifying some CBD-containing cosmetics products that are already available on the market.

Cannabis-Based Products for the Treatment of Skin Inflammatory Diseases: A Timely Review
Article
Full-text available
  • Feb 2022
The use of natural products in dermatology is increasingly being pursued due to sustainability and ecological issues, and as a possible way to improve the therapeutic outcome of chronic skin diseases, relieving the burden for both patients and healthcare systems. The legalization of cannabis by a growing number of countries has opened the way for researching the use of cannabinoids in therapeutic topical formulations. Cannabinoids are a diverse class of pharmacologically active compounds produced by Cannabis sativa (phytocannabinoids) and similar molecules (endocannabinoids, synthetic cannabinoids). Humans possess an endocannabinoid system involved in the regulation of several physiological processes, which includes naturally-produced endocannabinoids, and proteins involved in their transport, synthesis and degradation. The modulation of the endocannabinoid system is a promising therapeutic target for multiple diseases, including vascular, mental and neurodegenerative disorders. However, due to the complex nature of this system and its crosstalk with other biological systems, the development of novel target drugs is an ongoing challenging task. The discovery of a skin endocannabinoid system and its role in maintaining skin homeostasis, alongside the anti-inflammatory actions of cannabinoids, has raised interest in their use for the treatment of skin inflammatory diseases, which is the focus of this review. Oral treatments are only effective at high doses, having considerable adverse effects; thus, research into plant-based or synthetic cannabinoids that can be incorporated into high-quality, safe topical products for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions is timely. Previous studies revealed that such products are usually well tolerated and showed promising results for example in the treatment of atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis. However, further controlled human clinical trials are needed to fully unravel the potential of these compounds, and the possible side effects associated with their topical use.

Article
Full-text available
  • Sep 2021
Cannabis sativa L. plant is currently attracting increasing interest in cosmetics and dermatology. In this review, the biologically active compounds of hemp are discussed. Particularly the complex interactions of cannabinoids with the endocannabinoid system of the skin to treat various conditions (such as acne, allergic contact dermatitis, melanoma, and psoriasis) with clinical data. Moreover, the properties of some cannabinoids make them candidates as cosmetic actives for certain skin types. Hemp seed oil and its minor bioactive compounds such as terpenes, flavonoids, carotenoids, and phytosterols are also discussed for their added value in cosmetic formulation.

The ameliorative effect of hemp seed hexane extracts on the Propionibacterium acnes-induced inflammation and lipogenesis in sebocytes
Article
Full-text available
In this study, we investigated the anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-lipogenic effects of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seed hexane extracts, focusing on the Propionibacterium acnes-triggered inflammation and lipogenesis. Hemp seed hexane extracts (HSHE) showed anti-microbial activity against P. acnes. The expression of iNOS, COX-2, and the subsequent production of nitric oxide and prostaglandin increased after infection of P. acnes in HaCaT cells, however, upon treating with HSHE, their expressions were reduced. P. acnes-induced expressions of IL-1β and IL-8 were also reduced. HSHE exerted anti-inflammatory effects by regulating NF-κB and MAPKs signaling and blunting the translocation of p-NF-κB to the nucleus in P. acnes-stimulated HaCaT cells. Moreover, P. acnes-induced phosphorylation of ERK and JNK, and their downstream targets c-Fos and c-Jun, was also inhibited by HSHE. In addition, the transactivation of AP-1 induced by P. acnes infection was also downregulated by HSHE. Notably, HSHE regulated inflammation and lipid biosynthesis via regulating AMPK and AKT/FoxO1 signaling in IGF-1-induced inflammation and lipogenesis of sebocytes. In addition, HSHE inhibited 5-lipoxygenase level and P. acnes-induced MMP-9 activity, and promoted collagen biosynthesis in vitro. Thus, HSHE could be utilized to treat acne vulgaris, through its anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-lipogenic, and collagen-promoting properties.

Fatty acid composition of hempseed oils from different locatins in Turkey
Article
Full-text available
  • Jun 2010
  • SPAN J AGRIC RES
Recent interest in hempseed as a source of food has largely focused on its oil content and fatty acid profile. The oil content and fatty acid composition (15 fatty acids) of twenty one different hempseed samples of domestic origin from north-western Turkey were monitored. The samples were obtained from seed wholesalers and local spice shops and are of unknown genetic origin. The oil content of the hempseeds ranged between 29.6 to 36.5%. Out of the 15 detected fatty acids, the omega-6 linoleic acid (18:2n-6) was predominant and fluctuated from 55.4 to 56.9%, while the omega-3 α-linolenic (18:3n-3) acid ranged from 16.5 to 20.4% and the omega-9 oleic acid (18:1n-9) ranged from 11.4 to 15.9%. Of the minor fatty acids, the highest concentrations were found for γ-linolenic acid (18:3n-6), range 0.6-1.1%, followed by stearidonic acid (18:4n-3), range 0.3-0.5%. These results show that hempseed grown in north-western Turkey provides a well balanced and rich source of dietary omega-6 and-3 essential fatty acids and appears to be a potentially valuable source of food.

Efficacy of dietary hempseed oil in patients with atopic dermatitis
Article
Full-text available
  • May 2005
Hempseed oil is a rich and balanced source of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Anecdotal evidence indicated that dietary hempseed oil might be useful in treating symptoms of atopic dermatitis. Dietary hempseed oil and olive oil were compared in a 20-week randomized, single-blind crossover study with atopic patients. Fatty acid profiles were measured in plasma triglyceride, cholesteryl and phospholipid fractions. A patient questionnaire provided additional information on skin dryness, itchiness and usage of dermal medications. Skin transepidermal water loss (TEWL) was also measured. Levels of both essential fatty acids (EFAs), linoleic acid (18:2n6) and alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n3), and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3n6) increased in all lipid fractions after hempseed oil, with no significant increases of arachidonic acid (20:4n6) in any lipid fractions after either oil. Intra-group TEWL values decreased (p=0.074), qualities of both skin dryness and itchiness improved (p=0.027) and dermal medication usage decreased (p=0.024) after hempseed oil intervention. Dietary hempseed oil caused significant changes in plasma fatty acid profiles and improved clinical symptoms of atopic dermatitis. It is suggested that these improvements resulted from the balanced and abundant supply of PUFAs in this hempseed oil.
