Ethica Magazine - January 2019 

Once associated with hippies, hemp is sustainable and useful crop that packed with essential fatty acids, including Omega 6 and 3. These fatty acids help improve, treat and prevent a series of illnesses and ailments, such as diabetes, vision problems, depression, ADHD, heart and lung diseases and asthma, to name a few. They also promote skin health, improving hydration, flakiness, redness and eczema. 

Proud to be one of Ethica's top 10 brands using hemp in its products.
