Hempz Pure Herbal Extracts Original Herbal Moisturizer

Hempz Pure Herbal Extracts Original Herbal Moisturizer isn't going to make you high, but it is a lovely experience, non-the-less.  People see the hemp leaf on hemp products and think automatically, "There's pot in this lotion!"  That is not really the case.  While hemp is in the same family of plants as marijuana, it is not the same plant.  It says right on the back of the bottle in bold letters: THC-Drug Free.    

This lotion was definitely a surprise.  I've tried hemp moisturizers in the past and while they usually give great moisture, they tend to have a distinctly non-pleasant smell.  Well, unless you're into really earthy, herbal scents.  Which I definitely am not, as a general rule. 

However, the scent of Hempz Pure Herbal Extracts Original Herbal Moisturizer is amazing!  I can't really describe it that well.  It’s sweet, but not overly so, and a little fruity in a non-specific way.  I just looked up a little about the product and was shocked to find out that the original scent is actually floral and banana.  Who knew?  It definitely does not make me think of flowers or bananas from the start, but now that I know what it's supposed to be, I guess I can see what they mean.  Whatever it is, it's yummy! 

It is also a really great moisturizer.  It's perfect for any dry spots or just all over moisturization.  The scent lingers nicely.   They make several other scents, but I prefer the original.  It does its job, and it smells lovely.  You can find it online for a decent price.   

This lotion smells really great, it moisturizes well, and it does it all without parabens for a decent price.  Overall, a fabulous find.  I can't wait to explore more of their products. 

Scent: 4.5 (Pretty delicious!)
Health: 4 (The ingredients seem reasonable; no parabens, but not organic.)
Ethics: 3 (I couldn't find essentially anything good or bad about the company.)
Price/Value: 4 (I found pricing online for between $15 and $20.  Totally worth it.)
Does what it says: 4.75 (Excellent moisturizer.)

Overall: 4 (Definitely a great daily use product!)
