Have you heard of the viral waterless beauty brand called Olive Tree People? Well, that skincare brand has a line called LA Dope. Keep scrolling to learn why this line is so special and how it can help get you healthy and happy skin, no matter your age!
What is LA Dope?
LA Dope is a line in the Olive Tree People (OTP) skincare brand. You pronounce it L A (for Los Angeles) Dope. This line was founded by OTP founder, Thomas Lommel’s, son. He founded it in Los Angeles and took the popular waterless Oliveda products and added hemp extract as an ingredient.
According to the OTP website, “Hemp extract is a natural ingredient derived from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant which contains very low levels (0.3% or less) of THC, the psychoactive compound. It is rich in nutrients and contains beneficial compounds like cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, which have various therapeutic properties for skin vitality.”
“Hemp extract is derived from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant, which is cultivated in various parts of the world, including Europe, Canada, and the United States. The seeds are cold-pressed to extract the oil, ensuring that the nutritional content is preserved. Hemp has been cultivated for thousands of years for its fibers, seeds, and oil, and today, hemp seed oil is a popular ingredient in skincare products due to its rich nutrient profile.”
What are the Benefits of Having Hemp in Your Skincare?
Adding hemp extract into skincare has many benefits! It can moisturize, protect, and nourish the skin. Here are some other benefits:
- It hydrates the skin with fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6. It also helps lock in the moisture.
- It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin.
- It can help balance oil production.
- It can help calm acne.
- It can help improve the appearance of scars.
- It can help improve the skin’s elasticity.
- It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
5 Reasons You Should Try LA Dope
The reasons are endless for why you should start using waterless beauty products! But, here are just a few reasons why you should give LA Dope products a try:
- If you want to improve your pores
- If you have sensitive skin
- If you have irritated skin
- If you want to balance your oil production
- If you want healthy and glowy skin
What’s the Difference Between Hemp and CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) comes from the flowers, stems, and leaves of the cannabis plant whereas hemp extract comes from the seeds of the plant.
For anyone that is worried that you may become high from using skincare products with hemp in it, have no fear! Products that contain hemp seed extract do not have high levels (if any) of THC.
How Can 001 Internal Hemp Beauty Molecule Improve Your Skin?
Just like the I70 Beauty Molecule can help improve your skin, the 001 Internal Hemp Beauty Molecule can too! The only difference between the two products is the added hemp. According to the OTP website, here are the benefits of the I70:
- Hyaluronic acid tightens pores and skin while providing a natural, rosy glow
- Hydroxytyrosol protects from environmental factors, contributing to cellular vitality
- Strengthens connective tissue and contributes to skin tone and elasticity
- Promotes clear and strong nails
Healthy skin starts from within! I love Olive Tree People’s holistic approach to skincare. What you put on the inside can help you have glowy skin on the outside.
Is LA Dope 002 Finer Pore Dope Face Elixir as Good as F59 Corrective Face Serum?
The viral F59 face serum that everyone is talking about is very similar to the LA Dope 002 Finer Pore Dope Face Elixir. The only difference is that the LA Dope 002 has the added hemp extract. LA Dope 002 is good for you if:
- You want to revitalize dehydrated skin.
- You want to soothe and calm irritated skin.
- You want to brighten your skintone.
- You want smoother skin texture.
- You want to refine your pores.
Is there a Retinol with Hemp?
Yes! The LA Dope 004 Dope Your Wrinkles Face Oil Serum combines hemp and retinol (kahai), along with hydroxytyrosol and arbequina oil to create a powerful combination! When used with LA Dope 002, it is a lovely duo!
I personally use and love the LA Dope 002 + LA Dope 004 together nightly for a healthy youthful glow. I squirt about 4 drops of 002 and about 3 drops of 004 in my hands, lightly mix them together, and then evenly rub it into my skin.
