With hemp seed oil as the main ingredient in the United States, Mesohemp, a skincare range that contains a native Korean species of hemp called green hemp – a hybrid of imported cannabis from the Netherlands and Korean hemp.

All Mesohemp products contain hemp seed oil (cannabis sativa seed oil), which has several benefits – including 460 types of essential fatty acids, including Omega 3, 6 and 9, as well as natural antioxidants.

Hemp seed oil also brings anti-inflammatory effects, helps cure acne and reduces skin problems related to stress. It also carries anti-aging effects, leading to prevention of skin problems from stress, effectively calming down sensitive skin.

Koru Pharmaceuticals developed Mesohemp as a response to the tremendous progress of the CBD and hemp beauty market. Currently, the brand offers eight products, including a sunblock, facial sheet mask, multipurpose cream and a facial oil.
