h like Hemp vegetable oil (Cannabis sativa)
Its use in cosmetics is not very common. Pity. It is one of its varieties, deprived of THC (Tetra Hydro Cannabinol, psychotropic agent), which will be used to press the seeds and to give the oil of Hemp. The stems, for their part, will be used for the manufacture of paper, textiles and building materials. We love this versatile and ecological plant... The vegetable oil is rich in omega 3, hence its interesting anti-inflammatory action. It is very fluid and penetrates quickly. Perfect for a day care! It would also be photo-protective but we still prefer to advise to always wear a sunscreen (organic of course!) before exposure. Pure principle of precaution. Hemp oil is a sure value in anti-aging care.

It's not about flavoring our dish to bring a little southern touch, even if it's delicious in culinary! If used in cosmetics, it is because the essential oil of Oregano is active.

Prized among hippies (do you know why?), its notoriety also leads to fine perfumery...
Pure, the essential oil of Patchouli is heavy, and it is better to associate with other essential oils, but the finest noses will recognize it!

Because of its concentration of unsaponifiables, such as vitamin E and phytosterols with anti-radical and anti-inflammatory virtues and its richness in essential fatty acids to prevent dehydration and aging skin. As for the fruit itself, it is a gustative experience! But be careful, it stings :) you will have been warned!
