Hemp cosmetics are a wide range of care products — creams, ointments, balms, gels, and shampoos — based on hemp seed oil or CBD extract. On this page, you will find over 58 products from trusted brands PALACIO and Medicprogress available at Bucha, as well as a practical guide to help you choose the right product for your skin type and needs.
The market for hemp care products is expanding rapidly — Grand View Research estimates the global CBD cosmetics market to be over 1.7 billion USD in 2023. Before reaching for a product, it is worth understanding a few key criteria that differentiate a good product from an average one.
Type of hemp extract. Hemp seed oil (Cannabis sativa seed oil) provides omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a ratio of about 3:1, close to the physiological needs of the skin. Full spectrum CBD extract additionally contains terpenes and other phytocannabinoids that enhance the effect through the so-called entourage effect. CBD isolate is chemically pure and well tolerated by individuals sensitive to other plant compounds.
Concentration in the INCI composition. The higher Cannabis sativa seed oil or Cannabidiol appears on the list, the higher the concentration in the formula. Products where hemp oil is at the end of the list usually contain it below 1% — too little to effectively nourish the skin.
Additional active ingredients. A good hemp cosmetic combines hemp oil with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, menthol, or herbal extracts (arnica, marigold, rosemary). Their presence significantly increases effectiveness and tailors the product to specific applications — moisturizing, regeneration, or relief after exertion. An example is PALACIO Balsam Forte, which combines hemp oil with extracts from as many as 19 herbs, menthol, and camphor.
Certificates and dermatological tests. Choose products with confirmed dermatological testing and a clear manufacturer declaration of THC content below 0.2% in accordance with EU standards. The brands PALACIO and Medicprogress place this information directly on the packaging.
Consistency tailored to the application. Gels and lotions absorb quickly and are suitable for daytime use. Ointments and thick creams work better at night or on severely dry areas. Pump balms are a convenient solution for body areas after training.
Price per gram of active ingredients. Compare the price to the volume — 500 ml of balm for 30 PLN is often a better value than 100 ml for 26 PLN, if the concentration of hemp oil is similar.
A common mistake when choosing. Buyers often confuse hemp oil with CBD oil — these are two different ingredients with different mechanisms of action. The second mistake is ignoring the INCI composition and buying products where the word “hemp” is just a marketing slogan with minimal extract content. Check the ingredient list before purchasing.
Who should NOT use hemp cosmetics? Individuals with confirmed allergies to hemp seeds should avoid products containing hemp oil. These products do not replace dermatological treatment — if you have diagnosed atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, or other skin conditions, use them as a supplement to therapy after consulting a specialist. It is worth remembering that a good dermatologist can tailor a care regimen in which natural hemp products will work in conjunction with treatment, rather than interfere with it.
u Bucha, you will find products from two leading hemp cosmetics manufacturers: Czech PALACIO and Polish Medicprogress. Below is a summary of the most frequently chosen preparations.
Medicprogress Ointments — cooling and warming support for muscles. Medicprogress Hemp Ointment 250 ml 10% green contains a high dose of hemp seed oil, menthol, camphor, and methyl salicylate. It absorbs quickly, has a cooling effect, and supports muscle regeneration after exertion. If you prefer a warming sensation, Medicprogress Warming Hemp Ointment red 250 ml combines 5% hemp oil with essential oils of eucalyptus, cinnamon, and rosemary — ideal before training or after a cool day outdoors.
PALACIO Reishi CéBéDé series — anti-aging for mature skin. PALACIO Reishi CéBéDé Lifting Day Cream 50ml is a product with 98.3% natural ingredients, dermatologically tested, and certified as vegan.

Proper application increases the effectiveness of every hemp product. Regardless of whether you are reaching for a face cream, sports ointment, or body balm, a few simple rules can significantly improve the results. Below you will find a step-by-step guide.
Before applying cream or ointment, wash your skin with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser. Pat dry with a towel, leaving the skin slightly damp — active ingredients penetrate better through hydrated skin than through completely dry tissue. Avoid hot water, which damages the lipid barrier and increases the risk of irritation.
Take a small amount of the product — according to the recommendations of PALACIO manufacturers, the size of a pea for face cream. Apply evenly in circular motions, from the center outwards. When using face creams, avoid the areas close to the eyes unless the manufacturer states otherwise in the product description.
For Medicprogress ointments and gels for muscle or joint pain, gently massage the product for a few minutes. Massage improves local circulation, accelerates absorption, and intensifies the action of menthol or warming oils. When using ointments, you can cover the area with a warm dressing to enhance the thermal effect.
Wait a few minutes before getting dressed or applying another cosmetic to the same body area. Gels absorb faster, while ointments take a bit longer. Do not wipe the treated area with a towel immediately after application — allow the active ingredients to fully penetrate the skin.
The effects of hydration and soothing can be noticed after the first use. Lasting improvement in elasticity and reduction of fine wrinkles requires regular use for at least 4 weeks. Monitor your skin’s reaction — if redness or itching occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Hemp cosmetics available in Poland must meet the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 concerning cosmetic products, which limits or eliminates THC from the compositions. This means that they do not produce psychoactive effects even with intensive, daily use. In vitro studies show that CBD exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in keratinocytes at a concentration of 1 micromol/L.
Did you know that hemp seed oil has a comedogenicity index of 0? This means it does not clog pores — it can be used on oily and combination skin without the fear of blackheads. However, we recommend performing a 24-hour test on the inner elbow before the first application on the face or large body areas.
In special circumstances: if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult the use of CBD products with your doctor — safety data for this group is still limited. Ointments containing menthol and camphor (e.g., the Medicprogress series) should not be used on damaged skin, mucous membranes, or by children under 2 years of age. The issue of the effect of hemp on the eyes often arises when introducing hemp — we have explained this in detail in a separate article on why hemp causes red eyes and whether this also applies to CBD cosmetics.
These hemp preparations work well for many user groups. Athletes and physically active individuals reach for ointments and gels for muscles — menthol and camphor provide quick relief after training, while hemp oil supports tissue regeneration. Regular use of hemp gel or ointment after exercise can shorten the recovery time of muscles to full functionality — this is supported by user reviews available in product descriptions at Bucha.
Individuals with dry or sensitive skin appreciate the high content of unsaturated fatty acids in hemp oil, which rebuilds the hydrolipid barrier without a greasy feeling. Linoleic acid (LA) present in hemp seed oil in an amount of about 55-60% is essential for the proper functioning of the skin barrier. Its deficiency is associated with dryness and susceptibility to irritation, which is why hemp cosmetics are so eagerly used by people with atopic dermatitis and eczema.
Mature individuals (over 40 years old) benefit from anti-aging creams with CBD and Reishi. The PALACIO Reishi CéBéDé series is valued by users looking for a vegan, natural alternative to classic retinol creams — it is worth accompanying it with the use of hand cream with 12% organic hemp oil for complete hand care throughout the day.
Did you know that the skin loses its ability to retain moisture after the age of 30? This is one of the reasons why hydration and nourishment become increasingly important with age. Hemp cosmetics respond to this need with their rich lipid and antioxidant profile.
Products in this category are less suitable for: individuals with allergies to hemp seeds, infants without prior consultation with a pediatrician, and those seeking therapeutic treatment for skin conditions — these require medical intervention.
No. Products available in Poland and the EU must meet the standards of Regulation 1223/2009, which eliminates or drastically limits THC in cosmetic compositions. Even intensive and regular use of ointments or balms does not produce any psychoactive effects.
The effects of hydration and soothing are often visible after the first application. Lasting improvement in elasticity and reduction of wrinkles requires regular use for at least 4 weeks. Muscle and joint ointments work faster — relief can come from the first application.
Hemp seed oil has a comedogenicity index of 0, which means there is no risk of clogging pores. The high content of linoleic acid (about 55-60%) regulates sebum production. This makes hemp cosmetics suitable even for oily and combination skin.
Data on the safety of CBD for pregnant women is limited and WHO recommends caution. For products with only hemp oil (without CBD), the risk is much lower. Before starting to use any new cosmetics during pregnancy, consult your doctor or midwife.
The green version (10%) has a cooling effect due to menthol and camphor, which quickly reduce heat and swelling after exertion. The red (warming) contains essential oils of cinnamon, cloves, and eucalyptus — it works well before training or with chronic muscle tension. Both versions are available in a 250 ml size and complement each other for the active.
Most PALACIO products available at Bucha are certified as vegan and cruelty-free — this is confirmed by descriptions on product cards with 98.3% natural ingredients and dermatological testing. It is always worth checking the labels on the packaging, as some manufacturers add animal-derived ingredients to ointments, such as beeswax or lanolin.
Medicprogress ointments can be used several times a day due to their quick absorption. PALACIO Massage Gel 600 ml is also intended for multiple uses throughout the day. For face creams, use 1-2 times a day (morning and evening) to avoid overloading the skin with excess active ingredients.
With external use, the risk of interaction with orally taken medications is minimal due to low systemic absorption through the skin. However, if you are taking immunosuppressive drugs or corticosteroids and have recommendations from your doctor regarding new cosmetic products, consult the use with a dermatologist or your attending physician.
