It nourishes the scalp with the same energising Green Tea, Lemon Myrtle and Guayusa found in the Shampoo. Finally, the addition of Pracaxi provides long-lasting sheen and moisture protection to keep your hair looking radiant.

The 8 hemp-based products include cleansers, moisturizers, serums, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, and aluminum free deodorant.

The 100% plant-based formulation makes Sativa stand out from other hemp skin care and hair products.  While many skin care and hair care lines define themselves as “natural” despite the uses of additives like sulfates and parabens, hemp-based Sativa product line, designed with the Purify, Replenish, and Rejuvenate care philosophy, includes 100% natural ingredients, exotic botanicals and certified organic ingredients from around the globe. All products are vegan, 100% paraben, sulfate, and aluminum free. Along with sustainably sourced ingredients, the testing and manufacturing are cruelty-free and carbon neutral. 

For many natural skin care and hair care products, the first ingredient is water. For Sativa, the first ingredient is aloe or hemp seed oil, these ingredients act as enhancers to the other phytonutrient ingredients, rather than diluting the plant power of the sustainably sourced ingredients.

Key ingredients contain trusted essentials like aloe, hemp, lavender, rosemary, and rosehip, along with nourishing and anti-inflammatory tropical ingredients like finger lime, Copaiba Oil, Guayusa and exotic ingredients including Kimchi and Gotu Kola extract.

Much like hemp which contains multiple compounds which are complementary to each other, each plant-based, all-natural formulation includes ingredients designed to work together. The entire line is safe for all skin types.

The products are reminiscent of exotic locales and have a fresh, gender-neutral scent combined with velvety textures. 

“Sativa directly results from my global travels. I’m drawn to the remote regions and I’m inspired by indigenous cultures who have been using nature’s healing for hundreds of years,” said Founder Paul Benhaim.

“Everyone who tries these products immediately wants more. People love that these products are a full-sensory experience of scent and texture backed by production and testing ethics that were important to me,” continued Benhaim.

Benhaim is also the CEO of Elixinol Global (ASX: EXL; OTCQX: ELLXF), Elixinol’s parent company EXL is based in Australia as is Benhaim.

“Sativa is a special product line because their formulations include premium plant-based ingredients, including hemp seed oil, the ethos is sustainability, the product experience is incredibly inviting and the pricing is approachable,” said Chris Husong Elixinol’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

“For people looking for sustainable, boutique skin and hair care, without sacrificing an indulgent experience, this is a perfect product,” he continued.

The entire skin care and hair care line is now available on elixinol.com/sativaskincare
