8. • Every application that uses petroleum for its skin and hair
products can use hemp oil as it is more beneficial and herbal.
It can be used in many health issues as either a pain reducer
or even as the cure for it.
• Since hemp oil is natural, it is used as a moisturizing oil which
can be applied after a shower or a bath. When you massage
your body with it, it nourishes the skin and increases the
blood circulation.

9. • Another application of hemp oil is its use as biodiesel in the same manner
like other vegetable oils. It is a safe replacement for petroleum as it is non-
toxic and doesn't harm the environment.
• Almost all the forms of plastics can be made by using hemp oil instead of
using petroleum as a base. As those made from petroleum, release
harmful chemicals while decomposition, but those from hemp oil, don't.
• Hemp oil can also be used in the production of paints as it doesn't cause
any harmful releases when washed down from the drain and has very low
emissions than the petroleum paints which are currently being used.
