Forbidden Leaf is a company specializing in high quality hempseed oil skin care. I repeat this is a hemp company NOT a “cannabis” company. Unlike cannabis infused topicals, Forbidden Leaf hemp seed oil topicals only contains trace amounts of the psychoactive profile, THC. Hemp possesses its own healing qualities like Omega-3, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Forbidden Leaf boasts an entire hempseed oil topical line including massage oil, lip balm, hand soap, glycerin soap, body wash and lotion. If you’re looking for a cannabis themed gift for someone who doesn’t get high, Forbidden Leaf is it!
Forbidden Leaf’s lip balm is fantastic! When I first opened it, the aroma tantalized my nose; it smelled faintly like cake batter. Upon later inspection I found it is flavored with organic vanilla bean. It does not feel oily on your lips and goes on smoothly and stays on. One of my biggest complaints about lip balm is the amount of beeswax used in the product. Lip balm is usually oily and thick and the beeswax actually makes me breakout, but not Forbidden Leaf’s lip balm!
The Forbidden Leaf body lotion is simply divine. It smells delightful and is made using a mix of hempseed oil, chamomile, Japanese green tea, etc. The lotion comes in two fragrances, unscented and California Sunshine, which is a mix of pink grapefruit, sweet orange, mango and tea rose. California Sunshine smells almost good enough to eat! This lotion is fantastic for extreme dry skin conditions.
Their hemp body wash and hemp hand soap are other exciting products of theirs sure to get people’s attention as well. To learn more about Forbidden Leaf and their products visit www.ForbiddenLeaf.com
