Hemp seed oil has the ability to moisturize without clogging the pores, allowing it to assist in moderating oil production and making it a great choice for most skin types.  The omega 6 fatty acids found in hemp seed oil act as an anti-inflammatory while stimulating cell growth and regeneration.

Hibiscus flowers contain amino acids that produce the protein, keratin, making your hair stronger and healthier.  Studies have shown that not only does hibiscus help prevent hair loss, but can also promote hair growth.  Hibiscus contains antioxidants and vitamins that are necessary for the manufacture of melanin.  This means these lovely flowers can also help delay the graying of hair.  These antioxidants are also key in helping the skin recover from sun damage.  The slight acidity of hibiscus flowers provides a gentle exfoliating element that can help smooth out your complexion and reduce age spots.
