Jennifer Grant, a biomedical engineer, launched the empyri skin care brand in October 2020, making use of what would be waste in the cannabis industry and taking advantage of historical wisdom: As Cosmetic Design reported at the time of the brand launch, “cannabis root has been used by herbalists, physicians, and practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine for concerns related to inflammation, circulation, and digestion.”
The brand’s original 3-step skin care routine product collection—cleanser, toner, moisturizer—is formulated with cannabis root ingredients such as Friedelin. “Friedelin in cannabis root decreases inflammation and preliminary feedback on the line tells us that the products really work,” Grant told Cosmetics Design at the time of the launch. “In addition to the fresh vitamin C [in the toner formula] that brightens and smooths skin,” she said, “the cannabis root extract reduces puffiness.”
empyri launches new skin moisturizer with hemp seed extract and Aquaxyl
This month, empyri launched its new holistic hydration daily moisturizer, a first product in the line to be formulated with hemp seed extract. And already there are plans for two additional hemp-seed products, likely to launch later this year. (Looking ahead to 2022, Grant and her team are developing a men’s line of empyri products and, for the US market, a CBD product line as well.)
“Hempseed oil has been used in cosmetics for decades, known for being deeply hydrating and non-comedogenic,” notes Grant in this week’s media release about the launch, “but seed extract from cannabis plants is little known in skincare.”
