Did you know that hemp farming dates back five thousand years to ancient China? For centuries, hemp has been used to produce fabrics. It’s now used for creating anything from clothing and shoes to thermal insulation, biofuel and bioplastics. It has even been used to build cars! Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built from hemp materials and was designed to run on hemp gasoline.
Within the beauty world, cold-pressed hemp seed oil is often used to create products because it’s known to contain high and well-balanced amounts of omega 3 and 6. Why is that important? The high levels of omega 6 are believed to be great for bodycare products. Keep your body strong and beautiful with the power of hemp.
Applied to your hair, hemp oil is known to strengthen and moisturise locks – perfect for the dry months of winter. It can even help control frizz. Hemp helps!
