Mommy Greenest Approved: The Wonder Seed

Did you know that until 1883 all American paper was made with hemp? Or that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were both hemp farmers? How about this for some heritage: Both the first American flag and the first two drafts of the Declaration of Independence were also manufactured from—you guessed it—hemp fibers.

My source (sorry, couldn’t resist) for all this amazing hemp trivia is The Wonder Seed, which has been infusing their vegan products for 25 years with the optimal amount of virgin organic cold-pressed hempseed oil, said to be the most nutritious oil on Earth. This week, Mommy Greenest readers score 20% off plus a chance to win a box of The Wonder Seed’s hempalicious products, worth $110!

Each skin and hair care product is rich with hemp seed oil, which is anti-aging, hydrating and skin healing. The results are nothing short of miraculous! I’ve been a fan of The Wonder Seed ever since I discovered the Sweet Orange Shampoo, which is so rich I can use it without conditioner (although that’s pretty awesome too) as well as their ridiculously hydrating Facial Cleanser and Facial Cream duo. Now that The Wonder Seed has three more gorgeous products in the line-up they’ve got me from head to toe!

Absolutely synthetic chemical free and delicately scented with essential oils, The Wonder Seed line is EcoCert, certified vegan and never tested on animals. Each product is rich with hemp seed oil, which delivers eight vitamins, four minerals and all 10 amino acids that humans need—especially a perfect balance of Omega 3 and 6 for optimal absorption of all of the above.

The result? For the hair, the color safe Shampoo and Conditioner deliver shine and volume. In the skin, the Body Wash & Lotion, Facial Cleanser & Cream, and Hand Cream compensate for ceramide levels that deplete as we age, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The oils work with all skin types to balance oily, dry or normal skin. And if you have eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne or dry, itchy skin or scalp, they’ll help heal it.

Sounds like a miracle, right? You might have to try it to believe it. Now through March 31, 2014, use “MOMMYGREENEST” at check out to get 20% off any purchase at The Wonder Seed. Or better yet, this week enter to win one of THREE full sets of their seven-product line, worth $110 each!

Want more trivia? It took the U.S. Government until 2013 to re-approve the growing of industrial hemp in the United States—despite the fact that it has absolutely zero drug properties and is one of the most sustainable crops on the market. Last year, one American farmer harvested the first industrial hemp crop in 53 years. Can you guess in which state? I’ll give you a hint: Follow Rocky Mountain Hemp @HempRyan, who live-tweeted about the amazing community of people who came out to help harvest the first American hemp crop in nearly 60 years.
