HEMPSEED OIL Certified Organic - Unrefined Natural Vitamin E: T-50 Sign Up For Our Newsletter - get the latest news, specials, recipes and more! ABOUT HEMPSEED OIL Hemp is traditionally not an oil that is sprayed heavily with pesticides etc so I asked...what is the advantage to buying certified organic? The answer is that although it's not heavily deluged with pesticides, it is often grown using synthetic fertilizers if it's not certified organic. What then is used to keep the Hemp plant healthy and happy? Healthy and happy soil of course! Great care is taken to maintain rich and nutritious soil naturally, resulting in a superior, richly nutritious oil. Hemp is hot! It is known for it's ability to stimulate cell growth, giving the skin a healthy glow (well, it seems to do that to mine :0), it's is very soothing and excellent for dry skin. Of medium consistancy, it absorbs well in small amounts while being extremely emolient (I hear it leaps tall buildings in a single bound as well :0) Fresh pressed and immediately frozen, this oil will last 6 months to a year in the fridge. If you keep it in the freezer, it will last almost indefinitely, there is little degradation at below freezing temperatures. You can add an anti oxidant such as Natural Vitamin E (see below) to extend shelf life. Hempseed Oil is taken internally for it's optimal nutritional value, one of it's great strengths is keeping our brains working and our nerves calm. But hempseed is an awesome oil extremely popular in skin care applications. Hempseed makes a great conditioning oil in soap, only a little bit is needed. Use up to 10-15% of your blend in creams and lotions, and approximately 1oz per lb when formulating soaps. You can play and go higher with the soaps especially for your own use. I've had some recipes go shtinky after a year or so, especially in hot humid conditions but others where fine. In my opinion, Hempseed makes some of the nicest skincare soap available, I would be careful about selling High Hemp Bars without extensive testing as to stability. But go crazy for yourself! Another option is to make your customer aware, or include a best before date on your soap bar. Also remember that hempseed is a soft soaping oil, so you need to be sure to balance it out with some good, hard oils. ABOUT NATURAL VITAMIN E: T-50 MIXED TOCOPHEROL A brownish-red, viscous oil, tocopherols are used as an antioxidant to protect oils from going rancid. T-50 must be added before oxidation occurs, as it will prevent but not reverse it. It is a valuable ingredient to prolong shelf life in superfatted soaps and lotions as well to keep the oils from going rancid and developing an off smell, DOS and general ickiness :0) It will also prolong the life of your citrus oils in a formulation. Usage rate is 0.01% to 0.2% of the fat or oil content or approximately 4 drops per one pound of oils in a recipe. It is not a known sensitizer, so if you add a little more it isn't likely to harm your formulaton. NOTE: Vitamin E is an antioxidant. This is not the same as a preservative. It is an important addition to prevent oils from going rancid, but will not prevent bacteria from forming in a product. On the same note, a preservative will not prevent rancidity. Vitamin E is insoluble in water. Store in cool, dark place. CERTIFIED ORGANIC UNREFINED HEMPSEED OIL I am continually amazed when I pour this oil at the rich green colour, I almost always think, this truly is an emerald oil. This is one oil that to me always feels alive. This is food grade Hempseed Oil, purchased from a company who supplies health food stores with Hempseed Oil supplements. Emerald green in colour, lighter in texture than unrefined avocado, this oil gives new meaning to green and clean! SAP .137 If you are need of a 20L pail, please email me for pricing.
