Organic hemp oil is by far the best suited vegetable oil for skin care. It is one of the richest forms of EFA's (essential fatty acids) with the perfect balance of Omega 3, 6 & 9 which our bodies need for optimal health. It has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties making it ideal for problem skin conditions such as dry, cracked, itchy skin. All skin types will benefit from regular use of this wonderful gift from nature.

Industrial Hemp (cannabis sativa) should not be confused with its cousin the drug marijuana. Industrial hemp grows up to 1.5 metres tall and is grown for its fibre and oil. With a long history of use this remarkable plant has been cultivated for products such as cosmetics, paper, textiles, plastics, rope, canvas and building materials to name a few.

No, you will not get high when using organic hemp oil. THC (TetraHydroCannabinol) is the hallucinogenic compound found in the drug marijuana which has concentrations of between 3 -10%. However the hemp used for industrial cultivation has lower than 0.3%, making it incapable of producing any unwanted side effects.

When formulating water and oil based emulsions it is necessary to include an emulsifier to bind together the water and oil content, ensuring a safe, stable product and allowing the cream to mix without falling apart. After much research I have chosen Auroma's emulsifying wax for my creams because unlike many common emulsifying waxes available, it does not contain any (SLS) or sodium lauryl sulphates. Its main component (cetearyl alcohol) is derived from Palm oil; this product is also biodegradable and not considered a threat to aquatic systems.

Thankfully due to the current cultural movement back to eco friendly industry, sustainable agriculture and naturally derived products a wave of intelligence is prevailing. We are now seeing renewed support and healthy representation of this wonderful resource. There is still a way to go to lift the misconceptions of industrial hemp and the public voice can contribute greatly in bringing changes to the bureaucratic processes.

While men have purchased products from our entire range they find great benefit from our skin soothe and cleansing cream.  The lush lime cleanser makes a great non drying shaving cream while the skin soothe, with its crisp earthy scent and astringent qualities performs beautifully as an after shave moisturiser.

Skin soothe can also be used as a skin repair for those men sustaining cuts, abrasions or minor burns during the course of a working day.

Yes..!  Our lush lime cleansing cream

                  daily moisturiser

                  body lotion

                  special body blend

   blossom blend

   precious eye emulsion

           &    pure organic hemp oil   are all suitable.

Our skin soothe, night cream and lip salve all contain beeswax.
None of our products are tested on animals or have any other animal by-products in them.

You can still contact Teresa directly (contact us) but if she is unable to reply at that time, one of our dedicated staff will be pleased to answer any of your questions.

Cold pressed in today's terms can be a bit misleading, pressing and grinding produces heat through friction and the temperature during this process must not rise above 120°F (49°C).

Our Australian grown hemp oil is cold pressed below 40 degrees Celsius in a light and oxygen free environment, extracting the oil without damaging the nutritional value or the flavour of the final product.

 
  • Your hemp oil helped little Alice soooo quickly my dear that I have now given my bottle to a friend who's got two children with terrible eczema. She already noticed a difference in only 48 hours and only using it at night (cos they're crawling and immediately 'crawl' it all over the floor if she does it earlier!). My next experiment (if I get my bottle back!) is on a friend with psoriasis, and he's a grown up so lets hope he can use words to tell us how it feels day by day! I'm amazed by it Teresa - Amazed!!, Kylie, Perth, WA 

  • Hi there Teresa, First of all, thank you! Have just started using the HHH Lush Lime Cleansing Cream and I'm completely thrilled by it =). Thank you for your time and for such a beautiful natural skin care product, you're a life saver! Nick, Internet customer 

  • Hi Teresa, Thank you for sending my order so quick! I've used the lime cleanser and face cream a few nights now and really like them. I'm not used to a cream cleanser, but it doesn't dry my face out like the foaming ones do. And I love the cream. They're great ingredients you've put in them. :o)

  • Hi Teresa, Thank you so much for your precious eye emulsion. I have tried it now for almost one month. What can I say? Except it is , well, precious!!!  It is just that.I love it I will definitely be purchasing some more when this one is finished. But then again, all of the products in your range - the ones I have tried - are wonderful.  They make my skin so soft and smooth.  I love anything natural that has not been tested on animals.  I have found the lush lime cleansing cream is the best I have tried.  It really does get rid of the last trace of make-up even stubborn mascara!  Keep up the good work - you are doing your sisters a tremendous favour.  Hope the new year is kind to you and your business.
    Best Regards, Tina. Edwardstown, SA. 

  • Hi Teresa, I admit it, I strayed......... I tried another organic moisturiser, wondering if perhaps the Floral Fire was too highly perfumed for summer.....silly, silly me. Why do we do these things? I love the perfume - and although the other product may have been good, it certainly is not providing you with any real competition! I shall now pay my penance by restocking, and sharing some of your goodies with my friends! Cheers Lee, Littlehampton, SA

  •  I just wanted to share my results with using Hemp Hemp Hooray Skin Soothe Cream. I have been using it now for almost a month and it is wonderful! My face has no more cystic acne and all the redness and irritation is gone. I still have some red spots where older acne is healing, but I'm using a manuka honey mask every other day and they are going away. I only have one small inflammation at the moment and no more seem to be coming up. I use the cream morning and night as my moisturizer. I just ordered the cleanser and can't wait to try it. Hope this information helps you and you have good luck with it as well! Randi, USA.              Testimonial Courtesy of Fran at High on Health

  • Thank you Teresa for making a product that works. My Five year old had really bad eczema, I tried every cream medicated and over the counter to try and relieve the itchiness but nothing worked. Until finally I was handed this fabulous product you have designed called "Skin Soothe" it worked immediately. My daughter now has no signs of her eczema anymore.
    Thank you for relieving my daughters pain and my own
    :)  Cara, Adelaide.

  • Hello Teresa, I have had a nasty rash on my armpits for over a week, tried numerous creams and washes from the Chemist to get no relief from the burning/itching sensation.Yesterday I purchased the Skin Soothe Cream and have applied it to my armpits, today was the first day that I did not feel as though my armpits were on fire and the redness has completely gone. The Skin Soothe cream works miracles, I am amazed at how quickly it has improved my skin....something that other creams from the chemist could not do!! Thank you so much!!! I will certainly be recommending your products to friends.  Rachael, Farrar NT.

  • Thanks Teresa. I really love the products, especially the cleanser - it's the only one I know that doesn't make my eyes sting, it's brilliant and is completely my FAVOURITE product. There is something homely and comforting about the smell, like you know it is made of good stuff and made with love.

  • I am writing to tell you how much I love your "floral fire body lotion". I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for someone to bring out a product that actually does what they claim. I've been using the body lotion now for about 1 year; I have noticed an incredible difference in how soft my skin is, and I do believe I even look younger. I especially love how the ingredients are all natural or organic sources. I really don't like putting too many chemicals onto my skin and a big thankyou for choosing not to test on animals. Thankyou for bringing out this great product. Keep up the excellent work.

  • I've used Hemp Hemp Hooray's rich night cream for a month and its gorgeous. My skin looks lustrous and seems to plump up so that any fine wrinkles disappear. I love the rich texture of the cream with its mousse like consistency and the delicate, natural scent - it's almost edible. I use it day and night and it's great under makeup. Hemp Hemp Hooray's night cream gives me a naturally smooth, and healthy looking skin - definitely a woman's best friend.

  • Hi Teresa, Our order of face cream has arrived safely in Hythe Kent UK. We love the daily moisturiser and I find (Karen) that it lasts all day whereas other creams need topping up. Hatty has found that her roseacea is not as angry since using the cream. Loved the eco friendly packing, it went into our compost bucket. We get increasingly disheartened with the amount of chemicals that are used in creams etc so it is great to find a good product at a reasonable price. Sadly there is a tendency for natural and handmade products here to be overly priced!!
    Love and light Karen and Hatty xx Hythe Kent UK

  • Dear Teresa, I purchased your night cream some weeks ago at a "Green Festival" and I've been using it faithfully since then. I thought I'd drop you a line to say "Brilliant Stuff!" by far the nicest skin cream I've used for years.
    Regards, Deb Torrensville SA

  • For some years I had a facial skin condition that became quite serious during 2007. I was referred to a dermatologist, a very good one. A cream was prescribed for me to treat a condition described as Rosacea. I used the prescribed cream for 12 months with minimal improvement. 
    In August 2008 I began using Skin Soothe and the results have been remarkable. My face not only looks alot better; the skin feels much better. It is almost 12  months since I began using Skin Soothe and many people have stated that my face has vastly improved. I thoroughly recommend "Skin Soothe".

  • Hello Teresa, In august we purchased your "skin soothe" product. It has been so brilliant in keeping our daughter's eczema under control that we have been telling our friends all about it. I was wondering do you have any sample size creams available? This would be a great thing to be able to pass on. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful product.
    Yours sincerely Fiona Adelaide SA

  • Hi Teresa, I really do love your products, I am a dressage trainer and I am outside all day with the horses and I have never found a natural moisturiser that is as good as yours. I have a friend who is also an instructor and while we were away interstate with the horses last week she tried the products and thought they were great as well.
    Cheers, Julia. Adelaide Hills. 

  • THIS IS THE BEST MOISTURISER I HAVE EVER OWNED, and I have bought everything that has promised to cure my pimples and never has! I wish I could have taken a before and after photo to show how my skin has improved by using this moisturiser! I use it twice a day, once before I apply my makeup in the morning and once before bed. Its lightweight, non oily, reduces redness and inflamation and just feels beautiful on my skin. Thank you Fran for introducing it to me, and everyone else BUY IT, IT MIGHT JUST WORK FOR YOU TOO!!! ,Wendy, Brisbane Queensland
