Hempz products – a green revolution in beauty

Skin is our largest organ, and caring for it properly is our sacred (beauty) duty. Moisturising the skin is the first and most important step, since skin can’t stay radiant for long without hydration. Fortunately, the Estonian market now also carries the acclaimed Hempz brand’s skin-loving products, which keep skin radiant and soft, containing pure, high-quality 100% natural hemp seed oil!
All Hempz body care and hair care products contain pure, high-quality 100% natural hemp seed oil. Hemp seed oil is packed with vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, bioactive compounds, antioxidants, and amino acids.

The founders of the Hempz brand, launched in the US in 1998, made it their mission to unlock everything good hidden in one small but powerful seed – beauty, health, and vitality. Hempz skincare products restore the skin’s natural moisture balance, soothe and ease the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, and acne, and slow visible signs of ageing. Hempz is best known among Estonian customers for its creams.
Why else should you choose Hempz products? All Hempz products are extremely easy to love, because every Hempz product is 100% vegan. That also means the products contain no parabens, gluten, or THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound that gives the plant its intoxicating effect).

Hempz – The first step to beautiful skin is cleansing

Skin is our largest protective organ, and it cannot stay strong and vital without proper care. That’s why, regardless of the season, skincare should focus on rich hydration. Finding the right cleansing products is just as important as choosing the right body cream. Carefully selected natural ingredients that cleanse and moisturise the skin gently, without drying it out, play a big role here. Hempz is especially useful for Estonian customers thanks to its moisturising effects, since our winters simply dry the skin out.
If your skin tends to be dry, be sure to choose body wash products with rich moisturisers. Several Hempz body washes even contain triple moisturising ingredients!

HEMPZ Triple Moisture Body Wash

This plant-based body wash gently cleanses the skin, leaving it clean, fresh, and hydrated. Chestnut oil, enriched with antioxidants and fatty acids, helps protect and maintain skin elasticity. Vitamins A, C, and E protect skin from harmful environmental factors. The gel cares for and moisturises dry and mature skin, helping restore its healthy glow. As a bonus, the product is enriched with 100% pure, natural hemp seed oil. Hempz Triple Moisture Body Wash is the ideal choice for you.

HEMPZ Pomegranate Moisturizing Herbal Body Wash

This hemp seed oil-enriched body wash leaves skin soft, smooth, and elastic. Pomegranate extract contains antioxidants that help prevent free radicals and restore skin’s full glow.

Step two – moisturising

For the best absorption, it’s a good idea to apply body cream to damp skin. The best time to moisturise is right after a shower, when skin is clean and ready to absorb all the valuable ingredients of the body cream. Start moisturising from the feet and work upward, towards the heart. When applying cream, try to move in one direction only, since rubbing back and forth can clog pores, which in turn causes breakouts.
You should start at the beginning – that is, by knowing what skin type you have and which part of the body needs the most moisture. Don’t forget about allergies, and of course age as well. It’s important to understand that every body cream has a unique viscosity, which should make choosing easier – depending on the situation, you’ll know which option to use. If your skin is generally in good condition regardless of season, but you still want light hydration, lighter products such as body lotions or body creams are recommended.
The drier the skin (especially during an Estonian winter), the thicker and richer a moisturiser you should choose. In that case, body oils and body butters work well. Just as important as choosing the right body cream is drinking enough fluids, eating a balanced diet, and getting enough exercise, which all help flush accumulated toxins from the body.
It’s also important to pay attention to the interesting ingredients a cream contains, so you can choose the right skin-loving product based on its active ingredients.

Seven fascinating and beneficial ingredients in Hempz body creams

• Shea butter – considered a superfood for the skin, as it’s rich in valuable ingredients that moisturise, nourish, and heal it. Shea butter contains essential fatty acids, vitamins E and D, phytosterols, provitamins, and allantoin. This heavenly ingredient was already used for skincare purposes in ancient Egypt.
• Ginseng – contains a wide range of biologically active substances and essential oils, enzymes, trace elements, vitamins C and B, phytoestrogens, sugars, pectin, starch, and other beneficial compounds. In cosmetics, ginseng is mainly used for its rejuvenating effect. Ginseng stimulates collagen production and binds free radicals, boosting skin tone and elasticity. This miracle plant also promotes cell renewal, speeds up subcutaneous circulation, evens out pigmentation spots, and makes dark under-eye circles less noticeable.
• Pineapple extract – rich in an enzyme called bromelain, which supports collagen production in the skin. Pineapple extract helps care for, soften, and nourish the skin. The extract is also rich in vitamins C and E, which make dull skin glow as if by magic!
• Lemon oil – lemon has been widely used since ancient and medieval medicine and cosmetics. Adding lemon oil to creams improves problem skin, lightens pigmentation spots, and gives skin a radiant glow!
• Pomegranate – belongs to the “superfruit” family, referring to fruits and berries containing exceptionally high levels of vitamins and antioxidants. Pomegranate seed oil is rich in antioxidants, giving it strong protection against free radicals. Thanks to its high fatty acid and vitamin content, pomegranate seed oil strengthens the skin and stimulates the skin cell renewal process.
• Apricot oil – has a softening effect on the skin, and thanks to its high fatty acid and vitamin A content it moisturises the skin, while the vitamin C it contains eases various skin issues, including skin conditions. Apricot is also believed to smooth wrinkles as a cream ingredient and help clear away dead skin cells.
• Green tea – its health benefits have been enjoyed in Asia for centuries. Since ancient times, green tea has been highly valued for its medicinal use. Recent studies have shown that green tea offers far greater antioxidant protection than the well-known antioxidant vitamins C and E found in polyphenols. Green tea contains vitamins C, D, B1, B2, pantothenic acids, as well as minerals and trace elements. Its popularity comes from the bioflavonoids it contains, which act as antioxidants, protecting skin cells from premature ageing. Bioflavonoids also improve the skin’s oxygen supply and revitalise surface circulation.

Hempz – a green revolution

Common hemp (Cannabis Sativa) is an ancient plant that has been cultivated for thousands of years for its oil-rich seeds. In fact, the softening and moisturising properties of hemp seed oil were already known to Queen Cleopatra of ancient Egypt.
It’s said that making high-quality hemp oil is just as complex a process as making good wine. Hemp oil is emerald green, with a slightly spicy scent and a pleasant, nutty flavour.
Why is hemp seed oil so effective? Hemp oil contains up to 90% mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial for human health. That makes hemp oil one of the best sources for obtaining essential fatty acids. For example, it’s known that hemp oil contains far more of the polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 than olive oil!
Why are fatty acids important? Essential fatty acids boost skin elasticity and help skin retain the moisture we lose every day due to external factors such as sun, dry air, and cleansing products. Also rich in several key vitamin groups such as vitamin A, the B vitamins, as well as vitamins C, D, and E, hemp oil has a wonderful effect on the skin, delaying visible signs of ageing and easing itching and dryness caused by skin inflammation or allergic rashes.
It’s no coincidence that, thanks to its outstanding properties, hemp seed oil has sparked a true green revolution in the beauty world. Hemp oil is added to shampoos, soaps, and other body care products – its fatty acid composition ensures excellent absorption.
