Nourish, Repair, Protect: The Skincare Benefits of Hemp Seed & Jojoba Oil

Climbing and Skincare – A Love-Hate Relationship

If you’re anything like me, you love climbing, but your hands? Well, they probably have a different opinion. The chalk, the rough holds, the endless grip; it's all a recipe for cracked, dry, and sometimes downright painful skin. As a climber, I’ve learned that proper hand care is just as important as training. Enter hemp seed oil and jojoba oil, two powerhouse natural ingredients that can keep your skin healthy, resilient, and ready for the next climb.

Why Climbers Need to Take Skincare Seriously

Let’s be honest—most of us don’t give our hands enough TLC until they’re screaming for help. But taking care of your skin isn’t just about comfort; it’s about performance. When your skin is too dry, it cracks. When it’s too soft, it rips. The goal? Finding that perfect balance between toughness and flexibility, and that’s where hemp seed oil and jojoba oil come into play.

Hemp Seed Oil – The Ultimate Skin Saver

Hemp seed oil is a game-changer for climbers. Why? Because it’s packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory properties that work wonders on overworked hands.

Deep Hydration Without the Grease

One of the biggest problems climbers face when using lotions or balms is greasiness. Nobody wants to leave slippery residue on their fingers before a climb. The good news? Hemp seed oil absorbs quickly, delivering hydration without making your hands feel like an oil slick.

Fights Inflammation and Speeds Up Healing

Ever had those annoying micro-tears or split fingertips after a long session? Hemp seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which helps reduce inflammation and encourages your skin to heal faster. Less downtime, more climbing!

Strengthens Skin Barrier

Hemp seed oil doesn’t just heal—it prevents future damage. It fortifies the skin barrier, making your hands more resistant to dryness, cracking, and callus splitting. Think of it as armor for your hands, but without the heavy metal.

Jojoba Oil – The Secret Weapon for Climbers’ Hands

Jojoba oil is another must-have for climbers, and here’s why: it’s the closest thing to our skin’s natural oils. That means it gets absorbed super easily, delivering hydration and nutrients without feeling heavy.

Mimics Natural Skin Oils for Maximum Absorption

Unlike some thicker oils that just sit on the surface, jojoba oil penetrates deep, moisturizing from the inside out. It restores balance to your skin, keeping it from getting too dry or too soft (which can lead to flappers!).

Anti-Microbial & Anti-Fungal Properties

Climbers touch a lot of chalky, sweaty holds, which can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Luckily, jojoba oil has natural antibacterial properties, helping to prevent infections from cuts or cracks in the skin.

Why Our Hand Balm is a Game-Changer for Climbers

Sure, hemp seed oil and jojoba oil are great on their own; but when combined with tallow, shea butter, beeswax, arrowroot, and essential oils of lavender, frankincense, and helichrysum, you get the ultimate climber’s hand balm. Here is run down on the main benefits.

Final Thoughts from Me

Look, I get it. Climbing is addictive, and we don’t always want to slow down just because our hands are a little beat up.

That’s why I formulated our hand balm with the best natural ingredients to keep climbers’ hands hydrated, resilient, and ready to grip onto the next challenge.
