Skin Repair/Moisturizer with biologically active Terpenes, Botanical Concentrates, and Nutrients
Our Whole Hemp Cream, packed with a wide variety of well-known healing ingredients for the skin, is truly a complete skin nourishing formula. All the ingredients have been chosen to work together in synergy. This is a perfect cream for alleviating chronic inflammation and its associated pain. It both repairs and moisturizes the skin. Most of the ingredients have long been used to treat skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, burns, acne, cuts, wounds, scars, and infections. Their special synergistic effect promotes homeostasis, which brings the body into its natural balance.
The formula is a good example of the “entourage effect,” usually associated with cannabis, in which cannabinoid compounds work together to enhance their activity. The whole hemp plant has been used—roots, stems, and leaves. These are power washed, cleaned, prepared & macerated (soaked) in coconut oil and glycerin, which help activate the CBD and related compounds of the body’s own endocannabinoid system, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body. Many of the ingredients in the cream are antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic. This cream will relax the body and help to promote a good night’s sleep. Stress and anxiety levels can be regulated and modulated.
CBD (cannabidiol): In the formula are 200 mg per 4 oz. jar of CBD (cannabidiol) and related cannabinoid compounds, with 0% THC. (Note: All hemp plants contain between 0 and 0.3 or less THC). CBD is a small fat molecule of the endocannabinoid system; cannabinoids are master control compounds of the central nervous system, which is most important for the body’s homeostasis and many other functions. Cannabinoids regulate our mood and overall sense of well-being via the brain’s neurotransmitters; they also have important effects on cellular metabolism, the immune system and hormones. This allows important compounds to cross the blood-brain barrier, as well as contribute to intestinal tract efficiency. They activate serotonin receptors and help the body utilize dopamine.
The endocannabinoid system (which is a neural message network) provides a variety of benefits, such as alleviating anxiety, depression, headaches, fibromyalgia, arthritis, muscle cramps, inflammation, sleeplessness, and pain. Cannabinoids naturally adapt to and protect normal tissues. They show high terpene activity and can help mitigate the effects of opiate dependence and withdrawal, and PTSD symptoms. Anandamides (“bliss chemicals” such as serotonin, dopamine, etc.) are activated by endogenous compounds like CBD. Several journals, including PubMed, have published thousands of articles and studies on CBD and related compounds. The studies have found that CBDs can affect various aspects of well-being and have neuroprotection benefits. They help with immune system functioning and can provide relief for serious health issues such as epilepsy, seizures, Alzheimer’s disease, high pain levels, spinal cord injuries, trauma and many psychological and physical conditions.

Organic vegetable glycerin is derived from coconut oil with a long history of usage. It is a cleanser, toner, and humectant. It is good to use on dry skin, cracked heals, and scars. Like coconut oil, it acts as a carrier for CBD & other essential oil compounds. It helps all the ingredients work together.
Organic Marula oil, derived from a tree nut grown in Africa, is now found worldwide. It is a clear, light yellow oil with an aromatic smell. It absorbs quickly into the skin, providing revitalizing nourishment as it moisturizes and lubricates for joint support. It reduces blemishes and skin irritations, helping with bruises, scrapes, wounds, and acne. This stable oil contains Omega 3, 6, and mostly Omega 9, steric & palmitic fatty acids, plus Vitamin C & E, and other antioxidants—quite an abundance of nutrients.
Grapefruit seed ext. Powerful broad-spectrum antimicrobial, all-purpose disinfectant cleanser & germ-killer. Antifungal properties help Candida to nail fungus. Like usnea, it is a natural preservative. Aloe vera inner fillet (200:1): Aloe vera has long been referred to as the “first aid plant.” These mucopolysaccharides contain the long-chain beneficial mannose sugars, which ironically help balance blood sugar. Altogether, there are over 200 active components that have many therapeutic properties in their rind. This plant encourages cell growth and collagen production, which accelerates wound healing.
Aloe is legendary for providing soothing relief against sun, wind, and heat burns. Rehydration of the skin increases solubility, allowing for wound-healing compounds to be absorbed. It aids against infectious diseases, scrapes, cuts, and wounds. Aloe super-concentrate has multi-beneficial properties. Terpenes are a whole class of aromatic, tiny, volatile, hydrocarbon compounds. There are over 50,000 different types, many closely related to each other, including over 200 that are found in the cannabis plant alone. Terpenes are what give so many plants their distinctive aroma; they pleasantly engage our sense of smell. Terpenes are the well-known scents found in essential oils as well as the flavorful tastes of fruits and culinary herbs. Commercial terpenes are distilled from pine sap. Aromatherapy is based on the fragrances of many kinds of terpenes, providing numerous benefits: They elevate moods, relieve stress and anxiety, soothe nerves, relax muscles, and help provide for a good night’s sleep. They have cleansing, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain relief), antioxidant, and antiviral properties. They also magnify the synergistic components of this formula by potentiating it.
A good number of scientific studies indicate that terpenes synergize with cannabinoids to increasetheir therapeutic benefits, which is known as the “entourage effect.” Terpenes have cleansing properties and are easily absorbed into the skin. They work on the principle of diffusion, benefiting awide area of tissue. In the brain, they elicit many responses to help regulate its activity. The study and testing of terpenes are still in development, so the knowledge base will continue to increase. Our Whole Hemp Cream formula is composed of 7.82% terpenes derived from four essential oils— Tea tree, lemongrass, orange, and ylang-ylang, and the whole hemp plant. Terpenes are also found in various herbal ingredients. Coconut oil, glycerin, and marula oil are used as carrier oils.
Organic Lemongrass is a very high-terpene essential oil that helps reduce joint-muscle pain, headaches, and fever. This fragrant cleanser helps treat acne as well as fungal and yeast infections. It helps heal wounds and aids circulation, which creates a greater sense of wellness. Lemongrass has relaxing, soothing qualities. This oil contains Vitamin A, B vitamins, and many minerals which help relieve cramps.
Orange oil is an aromatic favorite high-terpene essential oil. It relaxes muscles which helps reduce inflammation. The oil cleanses in many ways, especially as an antimicrobial and antiseptic. Orange oil improves skin health and circulation which enhances mood, lifts spirit, and supports a healthy appetite.
Ylang-ylang oil is a popular essential oil also with high terpene activity. Its aromatic relaxing and anti-inflammatory nature benefits circulation, heart health, and hypertension. Its antiseptic qualities make it a good insect repellent. Rubbed into the neck and temples, this oil can reinvigorate us.
Acerola (25% vitamin C, w/ bioflavonoids): Vitamin C is necessary for collagen formation, the building block of cell structure. It strengthens cell walls and helps the skin stay soft, thus improving skin tone. Vitamin C repairs and replaces damaged tissues and helps heal wounds and scar tissue. Its important antioxidant qualities support the body’s blood vessels. It helps control viral and bacterial infections. Vitamin C, along with vitamin E, protects against UV radiation and supports skin health.
Vitamin D3 is an antioxidant sunlight-produced vitamin that helps repair and protect the skin. It assists with vitamins A and C absorption as well as being a major co-factor for calcium and magnesium absorption. Vitamin D3 supports cellular growth and neuromuscular functioning. This vitamin helps improve bone density which contributes to preventing osteoporosis. Vitamin E is a significant antioxidant helping the skin retain moisture as it plumps up fine lines and wrinkles. It improves skin conditions such as eczema, scars, sunburn, and brown/age spots. The vitamin slows the oxidative process as it regulates vitamin A and works synergistically with vitamin C to protect against UV radiation.
Vitamin E is important for both short- and long-term wound healing.
MSM: MSM is a naturally occurring simple sulfur compound known as “Nature’s beauty mineral.” This synergistic well-known ingredient in many skin products softens and hydrates the skin. MSM builds and strengthens collagen which helps damaged tissues heal. It has a calming effect on inflammation, accelerating the healing process, helping clear scar tissue, and soothing burns. It helps alleviate muscle spasms while reducing aches and pains. MSM lubricates joints and relieves joint swelling. It helps with recovery after a workout by reducing dehydration and stress. MSM synergizes with acerola (vitamin C) to improve blood circulation. With Arnica, it improves and heals bruises.
