Hemp is one of the purest, most complete plants on Earth. Its uses are many and varied; of particular value to humans are the nutritional and healing properties of hemp seed and its oil.Hemp grows almost anywhere and requires no pesticides or fertiliser. The plant is good both for the soil and the atmosphere. It is low maintenance and grows just about anywhere, making it the ideal crop for organic sustainable farming just about anywhere in the world.Hemp seed oil is extracted from raw hemp seed and contains a fully balanced spectrum of essential fatty acids (EFAs). When processed and stored correctly, the beneficial properties of the oil can be readily absorbed by the skin. Hemp seed oil has many benefits. It is a superb moisturiser and natural anti-inflammatory. It protects from UV radiation and pollution, assists healing and soothes acne.Hemp oil is rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), also known as Omega 3 and 6, and is absorbed straight into the skin. However, nearly everything else is absorbed too, causing concerns about some of the ingredients found in body care products.Yaoh Organic Hemp Seed Oil Moisturiser combines the protective, moisturising and rejuvenating qualities of organic hemp seed oil, almond oil and grapeseed oil with soothing aloe vera and essence of papaya to produce an effective moisturising lotion that is vegan, free from parabens, harmful substances and unnecessary chemical additives.Parabens are preservatives found in nearly all cosmetics including shampoos. They are added to kill bacteria and inhibit mould. They have also been found to mimic oestrogen, and having been found in breast cancer tumours, there are growing concerns for its safety. They are known as skin and eye irritants, and have been linked to damage to sperm production in males.EFAs benefit the body in many ways but two stand out – the effect on the cells and on the brain. EFAs help repair cell damage as they are part of the cell membrane, and they also help keep the cells fluid – important in maintaining the correct function of the skin, whilst also improving the energy flow between cells, as well as the nutrient absorption and detox function. In short, healthy glowing skin! EFAs are readily absorbed into the skin when applied direct.All Yaoh body care products contain no animal ingredients and are not tested on animals.Yaoh recognises the importance of EFAs, and also the unique features of the hemp seed in relation to this. All their body care products are rich in organic hemp seed or organic hemp seed oil. They use the freshest, ripest seed and the best possible manufacturing and processing techniques available. In short, their EFA delivery is second to none.Yaoh Organic Hemp Seed Oil Moisturisers retail at 5.95 for a 56g tub and are available in 3 varieties; original, papaya and coco bean.

Her ranges distinctive turquoise-sea blue pots are packed with herb, plant and wildflower extracts, most of them harvested off Cornwalls wild and beautiful shores near her workshop in Constantine. And there isnt a single paraben or hard-to-spell chemical among them.Were delighted to win the Natural Health Magazine award for the second time running, says Marianne. This time last year we were Top Finalists in the Natural and Organic Awards, sponsored by the Soil Association, with our Detoxifying Cleanser and Regenerating Night Cream. Its fantastic to receive this sort of recognition because as any company committed to producing quality organic products, its not easy being green – a lot of hard work goes into creating skincare products that are so pure.Beyond Organics day and night moisturisers, their best-selling Rescue Cream for super sensitive skin, and Mother and Baby line include cocoa, mallow, cornflower, rosehip, honeysuckle flower buds, apricot and calendula which feature among a laundry list of natural ingredients that could tempt even a not-so-green goddess to ditch her big brand name skincare and go organic.One of Beyond Organics ground breaking ingredients, featured in the award-winning Regenerating Night Cream and Day Moisturiser, Rejuvenating Serum and Firming Eye Cream all best-sellers – is sea buckthorn, which contains the rare omega 7 (as well as the other skin smoothers, omegas 3,6 and 9) that keeps skin plump. Recent research highlights its anti-aging, cell regeneration, UV protection and anti-oxidisation properties, and Mark Blumenthal of the American Botanical Council predicts, If there ever was a herb that could qualify for the next generation of herbal luminaries, I would nominate sea buckthorn.Marianne believes we need to feed our skin as we do our bodies. By hand blending herbs and flowers in-house, in synergy with each other, we have come up with a holistic formula that I believe goes beyond organic. You dont need to add any fluff or chemicals, because, really, nature gives us everything we need to nurture ourselves.
