Hempz, well known for its 100% hemp seed oil-infused products with beloved fragrances, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

As the pioneer and now the largest hemp seed oil beauty brand in the world, Hempz has been a trusted source for skin and haircare for a quarter century.

When the brand launched in 1998, hemp seeds were a mainstay of health food stores, not beauty aisles. For over two and a half decades, Hempz mission has been to unlock the beautifying, wellness-boosting power of hemp seed oil, the key ingredient at the heart of the brand and in all of its products.

Hempz first launched with its iconic Original Herbal Body Moisturizer, now a cult-favorite product hailed for its intense moisturizing properties and sweet floral banana signature scent.

Today, each Hempz product is formulated with 100% pure hemp seed oil, rich in vitamins, nutrients, and essential fatty acids, to deliver hydrated, nourished, healthy skin and hair. “Our Original Herbal Body Moisturizer, or the “OG” as we call it, started it all! It is a fan favorite and is still a top selling product for our brand today,” says Jennifer Weiderman, chief marketing officer at Hempz.

Hempz body, bath, skin, and hair care are available at Ulta, Target, Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Kroger, Albertson’s, Amazon, and on the brand’s website.
