What our experts say...
Love how my skin feels after using it. A lot of other aftershave lotions leave my skin a bit red and irritated . but this was the complete opposite. My skin felt fresh and moisturised, plus I really like the earthy smell. Their passion for the industrial hemp industry is inspiring. I too believe there is so much hemp can be used for in industrial ways to help minimise our environmental impact.
–Luke McLeod
It’s really easy to use, full of natural ingredients, has a lovely light fragrance, isn’t greasy or heavy, and feels great after a shave. Absolutely love the commitment to good products, sustainability, education, looking after staff and community engagement. The company’s values strongly resonate with mine.
–Josh Reid Jones
My husband reviewed this product and had been a bit nervous initially, that it might cause his skin to break out. However, he happily reported that it didn’t leave an oily sensation and the lotion was absorbed well. He says it is really soothing and has a cooling, calming effect on his skin, leaving it soft and moisturised. The final verdict is that he really likes it and highly recommends it to others. I really admire Margaret River Hemp Co. for their commitment to not using single use plastics and trying to completely be plastic free by 2023.

This silky, honey myrtle scented organic lotion leaves even the roughest skin feeling smooth and soft. The aloe and hemp components provide a soothing layer that add moisture to the skin and are gentle on common skin conditions such as eczema.
