The Body Shop: High On Hemp Since 1998
Hampa is today one of the hottest ingredients in the beauty industry. Levi Strauss made its first durable jeans of hemp fabric 1873, and 20 years ago, The Body Shop set the trend as one of the first beauty brands to utilize the unique qualities of the hemp. Many frowned on the nose, but with the legalization of medical marijuana in countries such as Finland, Canada, Portugal and Spain, the rest of the world has now embraced The Body Shops’ groundbreaking attitude.
When the Hemp Series was launched in 1998, the police raided a The Body Shop store in France and threatened with the same actions in Canada. However, the activist and founder of The Body Shop, Anita Roddick, did not shy away for the stigman around this controversial ingredient, but instead aroused the knowledge and insight into the benefits of industrial hemp and its intensive moisture retention and caring effect on the skin.

CAN YOU ACTUALLY GET HIGH ON HEMP?
“You’d have to smoke a joint the size of’a telephone pole to get high on hemp”
– Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop
Hemp and marijuana come from the same plant (cannabis sativa), but the hemp grown for their fibers and seeds has a low level of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) – the substance in the cannabis leaves that gives a roto effect. And in the kind of hemp that The Body Shop uses, only trace amounts of THC are present. So, to get high on our hemp, an unprecedented amount of a joint is required.
