Hemp body products during pregnancy....is this ok?

[lissy]

Hi was just wondering if anyone can tell me if its ok to use products with hemp in them during pg?

I have a Hemp body butter from The Body Shop that I had been using as I found it great for dry skin. It says it has hemp seed oil in it.

I have never heard any warnings against it. Just had a quick look and there are naturopaths out there recomending that you take hemp seed oil in pregnancy (for the benefits of omega's) but I also found a site that says that there have been no studies done into its safety in pregnancy 9but they always say that to cover themselves against liability!) ....therefore ...

I would say that using skin products with hemp in it should be fine. I would use it over any of the chemical based products, because I think theres a lot of risky chemicals being used out there in moisturisers and the like.
