This is HYDRATE

HYDRATE is a daily, moisturizing facial oil for all skin types. The formulation contains a rich recipe of Vitamin A, antioxidants from whole-plant hemp oil, and plant botanicals.  Aside from submerging the skin with moisture, HYDRATE enhances microcirculation, stimulates collagen production, and reduces fine lines. Rather than sitting on the surface of the skin, the added terpenes allow the oil to break through the epidermal layer for enduring moisture upon every use. HYDRATE is a  transdermal solution, so the moisture penetrates the skin barrier to not just mask moisture, but actually target dryness by nourishing the deeper layers of the epidermis. This nutrient-rich oil will quench thirsty skin, leaving your face glowing and balanced. 

There’s a difference between skin being dehydrated or dry. Dry skin is characterized by fewer oil-producing glands on the face and body, and dehydrated skin stems from a lack of water, not oil. So you can actually have an oily complexion but still have dehydrated skin. Our formula is ideal for all skin types - even oily skin needs hydration. Environmental factors, caffeine consumption, poor diet, and weather can all attribute to skin being parched. Whatever the cause, incorporating HYDRATE into your daily routine will leave your skin feeling revived.
