Enlightened Spirit

Enlightened Spirit is a new Hempseed Oil Soap. This scent was created by combining three essential oils that are said to combat mental fatigue. The essential oils chosen for this bar give it a fresh sweet woodsy scent. This is a wonderful soap to use in the morning for a mental pick me up before starting your day.
This week I shipped an order of soap to the farthest location yet - Illinois.
Today I sent an order of Neem Cream off to Quebec.

Hemp

Just 4 U Soaps makes soap and hand & body lotion using hempseed oil, which are becoming very popular items. It is not hard to understand why when hemp seed oil balances dry skin, is healing, anti-ageing, absorbed easily into the skin, has anti-oxidant and moisture balancing properties and combats skin irritations.

Hemp seed oil comes from the seed of the Hemp Plant, this plant does not require the use of pesticides and every part of the plant is used when harvested. The hemp seed is pressed to release this wonderful oil rich in omega 3 and omega 6 EFA (essential fatty acids) and GLA (gamma Linolenic Acid). GLA is an essential fatty acid that resembles sebum, a natural lubricant found in the skin. These EFA’s are needed to keep moisture in the body and are what makes hemp oil moisturizing to the skin.

Skin care products containing Hemp seed oil sooth and restore dry and damaged skin relieving discomfort and increasing moisture retention. The GLA (gamma linolenic acid) in Hempseed Oil is why products made with this oil can offer relief of skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne. With regular use of skin care products made with hemp seed oil the skin becomes soft and moisturized which can help slow down the aging effect.
Not only is Hemp beneficial to our skin, its also a highly nutritious food containing rich sources of Essential Fatty Acids. Click on the links below for valuable information on hempseed oil, butter, proteins etc., as well as some good recipes.

For thousands of years hemp has been used for food grain, as fiber for textile, rope, and netting, and for medicinal reasons. Hemp fiber is known for its great strength and resistance to rot; therefore, it was used to make sails, nets, and ropes for ships. In China a two thousand year old piece of paper was discovered – it was made from hemp. Follow the links below to learn more about the history of this incredible plant.

Outdoorsman's Bar



Outdoorsman's Bar
You'll love the wonderful Licorice scent of this bar. It is also a scent that fish are attracted to and it masks the human scent, so for the fisherman this is a must.

Gardener's Soap


Gardener's Soap
Rosemary and Lemon essential oils are added to this soap for a clean refreshing scent and Sweet Almond Oil to help relieve the dry skin that often comes with gardening. Rosemary is good for eczema, muscle pain and works as an insect repellent. Lemon is a refreshing cleansing oil with antiseptic and insecticide properties.
