Mu London Organic Hemp Moisturiser

Mu London Organic Hemp Moisturiser is a favourite of everyone in the London family for the same reason - it's excellent on patches of eczema or dry, irritated skin for all three of us. Miss London gets a patch of eczema behind her right ear (I think she sleeps with it rubbing against the pillow) and Mr London has a patch on his knee. I don't usually suffer, but a period of working twelve plus hour days on a stressful project recently resulted in some dry and itchy patches on my left shin. Having catalogued the various London scabby bits, I can report that Mu London Hemp has sorted them all out - it calms down the itch almost immediately and then gets to work repairing the dryness and redness. Skin is noticeably less rough after a single application, and twice daily application sorts out persistent patches within a week or two even in very cold weather (which seems to make it worse for all three of us) in our experience.

The smell is a subtle woody/green scent which is acceptable and pleasant to all three of us (this would be a good choice if you are looking for a Mu London moisturiser for a man to use). It is a thick, solid balm texture like the rest of the Mu London moisturisers; you just scoop a small amount out and melt between your fingers then apply to damp, clean skin. If you use a small amount it doesn't leave any film on the skin - it's best to use a little and apply more if you need it.
Mu London Hemp Moisturiser is £15 for 60ml or £9 for 30ml, and available from www.mulondon.com.

Ingredients:
Vitellaria Paradoxa (Shea Butter)*, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp Seed Oil)*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil)*, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary Extract)*, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp Essential Oil), Picea Mariana (Black Spruce Essential Oil), Vetiveria Zizanoides (Vetivert Essential Oil)*, Cedrus Atlantica (Cedar Wood Essential Oil)*

* denotes certified organic ingredients

  3. I bought this one as it sounded like it would be the best one for acne-prone/combo skin and I agree that it really does help for irritated areas as I reach for it to calm down patchy acne flare-ups on my face.

    1. Hello - yes, and a very good one. It's particularly good for easily irritated skin, and Mu London recommends it to oilier skin too.

    1. Hi - I also like the Rose Moisturiser, and the Rose Face Wash. I don't usually like face washes, but this one is very gentle - my 10 year old daughter uses it to wash her face each night.

  6. I'll definitely give this a try for my dry, itchy patches that won't go away!
    Lovely ingredients too - I love jojoba oil and have heard great things about hemp seed oil, I think I'll try this as my facial moisturiser as well!

    I love that you can buy smaller 30ml pots as well, I wish more companies did this.
