Stuff's Morgane Solignac uncovers the soothing side effects of hemp in an interview with Kirsty about how she's taken the findings from hemp trials on the Marlborough vineyard and developed hemp-based skincare... which we know and love as Hark & Zander Hemp-Tonic Face Oil.
"Marlborough vineyard manager Kirsty Harkness first discovered the benefits of hemp as she was using it as cover-crop for the restoration of soil in vineyards.
Impressed by the results after a year, she did more research on hemp seed oils. She then took the plunge and launched her cosmetic brand, Hark & Zander."
And Solignac rightly points out that these little bottles of wonder-working power have been flying off the shelves thanks to some wonderful early adopters. It's as though we've tapped into a latent demand for all things natural, NZ made, and hemp-based and it's all a little bit exciting!
