A few of the main reasons that I use hops in my body and hair products:
1. Antioxidant Properties - wonderful anti-aging ingredient! Helps to reduces the elastase enzyme responsible for breaking down collagen.
2. Anti Bacterial - helps to fight acne
3. Anti Inflammatory - helps to reduce scaring and heal old marks
4. Healthy Hair - strengthens hair follicles and helps to reduced hair loss. Also gives hair a healthy shine
Contraindication:
- Possible allergen to some people. Although all of these benefits are wonderful, some people may be allergic to hops so a skin patch test is recommended before trying any products containing hops!
- Hops is a natural sedative so be aware of that if you are taking it internally. Its is also not recommend for people with depression.
- Check with a health care professional if you are pregnant or nursing.
