Why Hemp

"Nature's Most Perfectly Balanced Oil"

Hemp seed oil is renowned for its skin moisturizing and rejuvenating properties and has the
highest concentration of essential fatty acids (EFAs) of any essential oil, as well the perfect
balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 EFAs. Essential fatty acids have the ability to enter
directly into the lipid layers of skin cells, replenishing the oils that are missing due to sun
exposure, poor nutrition or neglect; and as shown by clinical studies can actually slow down
the aging effects on skin.

Throughout history the anti-inflammatory properties of hemp seed oil have been used as a
soothing restorative to dry, damaged skin. The replenishing nutrients of hemp seed oil are
able to penetrate deep into skin cells - providing natural emollients and a lasting barrier to
moisture loss - increasing the skin’s natural capacity for moisture retention.

The industrial hemp that is used in cosmetics today is not marijuana although they are from
the same species (Cannabis Sativa). The seeds are sterilized, virtually removing any traces
of THC - the mind-altering compound found in the drug. Industrial hemp can be grown with
relatively little fertilizer and without the pesticides that have been known to pollute ground
water and river systems.

candles! Science has proven that hemp seed oil is good for the body and skin. Once you
