It is this time of the year; almost the end of the summer and the “back to school” feeling is here. So we have done our homework and focused on sustainability/upcycling and antimicrobial ingredients in this newsletter. Here is a selection of green ingredients; literally or subjectively green, they all are high performing and safe for everyone and everything.

Jade Green ♦ Hemp PhytPeel – Natural Green Color and Hemp Seed Exfoliant

Let’s go green!

Jade Green is naturally-colored oil with green bell pepper extract thanks to a patented enzymatic process. It gives a nice pastel green color to your oils, butters and emulsions, naturally, without using a colorant or a dye. And cherry on the cake: it is all about upcycling; it is produced using green bell pepper cut waste from food industry.

Hemp PhytPeel PhytMic is a hemp seed-based exfoliant, available in 500, 1000 and 2000 microns. The hemps seeds used (chenevis) are cultivated in France and selected for their low content in cannabinoids. Another cherry on the cake: it is an upcycled ingredient as well; it is produced using solid waste from hemp seed oil production.
