WE HAVE A GREAT NEWS!
Majority of our hemp products have been awarded with the CPK certificate issued by KEZ o.p.s. – the first Czech accredited control and certification organization for natural and organic cosmetics.
Natural CPK certificate
The CPK certification brand was founded in 2007. The main goals of this company are: to facilitate the consumer’s awareness of the natural cosmetics market; health protection; and environmental protection. Any producer can request to be certified, and if the product fulfils the strict criteria, its packaging may bear the CPK logo, a guarantee of the product’s genuine natural character. The certificate, based on the standards set by the French company Ecocert, guarantees that the product doesn’t contain any synthetic compounds and substances harmful to the human body. CPK certification is granted by KEZ – Kontrola ekologického zemědělství o.p.s. in the Czech Republic, an independent inspecting authority which also inspects ecological farming. One of the most important requirements for obtaining this certification is that the product is made exclusively from natural ingredients which were picked in an environmentally-friendly manner. Environmental protection and the least impact on the environment are emphasized.
The product mustn’t contain any synthetic compounds and substances harmful to human health. It’s also forbidden to use genetically modified ingredients, petroleum derivatives, synthetic fragrant substances, chemical preservatives, artificial dyes, chemical UV filters, and animal-based products whose procurement involved the death of an animal (substances such as lanolin, honey, or milk – i.e. those not dependent on an animal’s death – are an exception). Products can’t be tested on animals. Just like most foreign certifications, CPK pays attention not only to the composition of products, but also to the method of their manufacturing and their packaging materials. Respect for the carrying capacity of ecosystems, and recyclability of packaging are desired.
Natural CPK Organic certificate
CPK Organic is a stricter version of the CPK certificate. The basic criteria aren’t much different, but in order to obtain the “bio” version, organic ingredients must constitute at least 20% of the overall composition. The adjective “organic” guarantees not only the CPK certification standards (i.e. the prohibition of synthetic and harmful substances, environmentally-friendly approach, etc.), but also that ingredients produced by ecological farming were used. CPK organic certification is granted by KEZ – Kontrola ekologického zemědělství o.p.s. in the Czech Republic, an independent inspecting authority which also inspects ecological farming.
“We’re delighted to offer products bearing this certification to our customers”

Atopic eczema is, for many reasons, unpleasant not only for children but also adults. How can we help ourselves? The cause of atopic eczema is the tendency of the body to over-react to substances. It is aggravated by animal products such as cow’s milk, eggs, but also fish or citrus fruit. It is also adversely affected by weather changes and stress. The term eczema is derived from the Greek word ‘eczeo’ meaning something that rises to the surface, that is to say the surface of the skin. From this we can conclude that it is appropriate to treat eczema primarily internally, when the disharmony of the body manifests itself on our skin.
1) Exclude allergens
Treatment plays an important role in whether we are able to identify allergens and exclude them. Watch your side and write down your diet, making it clearer which substances may not be doing you well after some time. Visit an allergist and an immunologist who can confirm the substances that are not beneficial to you.
2) Adjust your regimen
The main thing, however, is adjusting your regimen. Have enough movement and sleep in particular, it is very important for the regeneration of our body. Avoid artificial fibres, leather fabric and wool fabric.
3) Beware of washing
Use only natural washing detergents, preferably marked as Sensitive, which are also suitable for small children. Also is better to avoid fabric softeners or to use a natural fabric softener.
4) Shower and bath
You should be aware whether a regular washing does you good or, on the contrary, it is not beneficial to your skin. Tap water dries it in most cases, and if you want to indulge in a bath, it is advisable to add Cannol hemp oil to the bath. Skin hydration and body lotion application are required after each bath. Bodycann body milk is suitable even for the most sensitive skin.
5) It is appropriate to adapt the environment
Eczematous persons should live in a smoke-free environment, preferably without animals carrying viruses and allergens. It is appropriate to live without carpets and do not use feather blankets and pillows. It is advisable to maintain humidity in your flat, for example, with ionizers or diffusers in which you can add essential oils that are good for your psyche.
6) Adjust your eating habits
Eczema must be solved internally. The most important is the omission of animal products, especially cow’s milk and products thereof (milk, cheese, cream, etc.) that do not belong in a healthy human organism either. High allergens include nuts, tomatoes, wheat, strawberries, citrus fruit, chocolate, almonds, fish, crustaceans, smoked meat products and red meat. It is advisable to use at least one tablespoon of hemp oil a day, which contains the ideal ratio of unsaturated fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6, containing the necessary vitamins and minerals. Try to reduce sugar and drink enough fluids, especially clean, non-sparkling water. Strengthen your immune system with high doses of vitamin C and other superfoods, such as Aloe vera, green barley or Chlorella.
7) Try hemp cosmetic
The natural and long-term solution is hemp. Products can be added to your bath, applied on skin, used to protect or nourish the skin. Hemp foods provide the necessary substances and nutrition from within. Hemp has high antibacterial effects and has a particularly beneficial effect on skin problems. It is important to select the right product.
8) Beware of corticosteroids
Physicians most often prescribe corticoids for eczema treatment, but these may have side effects and the eczema often returns after discontinuing them. Corticoid ointment treatment is always in the hands of a doctor as it is not completely free of side effects. Atopicann natural cream is suitable after the corticoid treatment as it can significantly enhance the overall condition and appearance of the skin with regular application.
