We all know about tanning and tanning lotions but one of the big tanning lotions out there are hem tanning lotions. More and more tanning lotions out there today are starting to use hemp as an ingredient but what exactly is hemp? Hemp is a fiber (very durable) that is harvested from a plant or plants that come from the cannabis genus varieties and is cultivated for commercial use. With everything in our current economy and civilization turning green it looks like tanning lotions are now following the same trend. Hemp’s are harvested on small plots, the plants are normally cut a small distance above the soil (roughly 2 to 3 cm) and left to dry in older times this would be followed by a procedure known as retting (this is when the hemp is either floated in water or left outside for the dew to moisten it) but due to current advancements that step can be skipped out. The final step is the separation of fibers and this process is called thermo-mechanical pulping and normally down by steam using machines.
