With the growing public awareness of how important including hempseed oil into ones skincare routine, some forward-thinking New Zealand beauty companies now include it as an ingredient in their skincare products. Forbidden Beauty (www.forbiddenbeauty.nz) now joins the likes of The Body Shop, and Hark & Zander, in providing a luxury range of moisturising creams utilising hempseed oil as an ingredient in all their creams.
An exciting newcomer to market, Forbidden Beauty (www.forbiddenbeauty,nz) sells 3 moisturising skincare creams in their beauty product range :
Founder Robbie Dellow started Forbidden Beauty just 3 years ago and the company’s products are already receiving rave reviews from repeat customers who have been excited to be experiencing very positive results. He chose to use refined hempseed oil, as, whilst he fully understood the importance of including it, he also wanted to ensure the resultant products still retained the pearly-white cream colour so desired by his female customer base. From numerous laboratory testing it was discovered that adding unrefined hempseed oil gave the product a yellow tinge, whilst using a quality refined hempseed oil achieved the desired nacreous outcome.
“Throughout the entire journey of creating our skincare products we have listened to, and acted on, what our numerous and diverse female focus have said they desired in a moisturiser.” Dellow told our interviewer. “Sure this may take a  lot longer than developing something focussed on your target audience, but we feel it really gets to the core of creating something special.”
Forbidden Beauty certainly does have uniqueness. From the quality frosted-glass jars, to the cute, yet practical, metal applicator spatulas, all the way through to the adorable cotton drawstring bags each product comes in, the company’s products show it has listened to its prospective customers. The extensive ingredients list for each skincare product also highlights the thought that has gone in to creating a sophisticated product range. Thus using hempseed oil as an ingredient was a natural choice for Forbidden Beauty to make in creating a premier eco-friendly product.
