Your phyto-infused skincare, with visible results
Passion was certainly the case for owner and founder of The Hemp Cream. Melissa Botha, is mom to a very special boy, affected by a genetic disorder so rare, that he was only the 2nd diagnosis in South Africa.
With this syndrome, comes a heightened risk of cancer, and after much research into causes, cures, treatments, of which most are governed by the likes of the big pharmaceutical companies, Melissa wanted to create the best opportunity for her son to avoid getting any dreaded disease in the first place.
It was on this search for prevention methods, that Melissa began to investigate further into the medicinal use of the (at that stage) very controversial use of cannabis oil.
Before her son was affected by health risks with his diagnosis, Melissa says, “I always thought that those pushing for legalisation for medicinal use, just wanted an excuse to get high. It was only after my son was diagnosed, that the research, became real and personal. I devoured all the information I could find on the various cannabinoids within the vast range of strains there are worldwide. I learned about its effectiveness in treating not only cancer, but other serious health issues, including diabetes and high blood pressure. However, the more I learned, the more I realised how LITTLE I actually knew.”
Our Skin is the first line of defence we have against infection and disease. Given that these oils could have such dramatic effects on health, it was simply the next step for her to try it on the skin.
We didn’t want to just stir a few drops of this liquid gold into aqueous cream.
We wanted a product where the formulations WITHOUT the oils would be something to scream from the rooftops about.
We wanted RESULTS with or without the oil infusion.
And so, the research and hunt were on for the perfect formulations to create an effective, natural product, that could get results that would be visible in a matter of days.
The formulations worked perfectly the first time, and almost every time. They were tested with and without the phyto infusions, and both sets of results were great, but the photo infused results, spoke volumes.
The beauty about our products is that we’ve managed to keep them as natural as possible, without all the chemicals that usually create quick results, but long-term damage. They are gentle, yet effective, with results usually visible within the very first week of use.

Cultivating with seeds of Hope in Recyclable Bags
Giving our plants the best start in life is always a cultivators top priority. When you are shopping for something to grow in a pot, something made of plastic springs to mind, but how nice does that really look?

We are truly blessed with the multitude of cannabis warriors fighting the battle for freedom of the plant, here in South Africa. Some having walked a treacherous path in pursuit of emancipation for both consumers, and the right of choice itself.

Botany Basics
We often forget about the basic botany that is applicable to growing all things. You may scratch deep in archives of your brain, searching for those basic boring plant cross sections you HAD to absorb & replicate in every biology exam from Grade 5 to grade 10 (for us oldy's, Standard 3 - 8).
