Founded in 1996, Hemporium provides quality products made from this eco-friendly and versatile plant. Hemporium is actively lobbying for legislation change in order to allow farmers to grow this beneficial resource so that we can source all our products, from seed to shirt, locally.
Through our online hemp shop we offer high quality, innovative products to raise awareness of the incredible versatility of industrial hemp. You can also call in at our hemp shop in Cape Town, South Africa, or find our products at several retailers around the country.
Hemp fabric is available in a wide variety of blends, weights, and textures that are soft, comfortable and extremely durable. Naturally anti-microbial and mould-resistant, and lasting for years while retaining their original good looks, hemp textiles keep you pleasantly cool in high temperatures and warm and cosy when the temperature drops. They are the obvious choice for clothing and hemp home-ware textiles like our attractive eco-friendly duvet covers.
Hemp powder it is not only delicious, with a pleasant nutty flavour, but also filled with edistin, albumin protein, and a perfect balance of all eight essential amino acids (EFA’s), making it the gold standard of vegetable protein. Rich in vitamin E, iron and magnesium, hemp nutrition from protein and hemp oil is the simple way to include Omega 3 and Omega 6 in your diet as doctors recommend. Hemp oil is a medically recognised treatment for conditions including diabetes II, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and arthritis.
Hemp oil has been shown to reduce the inflammation caused by eczema, psoriasis and acne, so it is super for healing and moisturising dry skin. Our hemp shop shelves also carry a wonderful selection of all-natural hemp cosmetics made with moisturising hemp seed oil including soaps, lotions, deodorants and shampoo.
Known as the “better than zero” carbon building system hemp construction materials include Hempcrete – a mix of chipped hemp stalk and lime, tree-free hemp chipboard – and hemp fibre insulation. Pending legislative approval Hemporium is currently pioneering hemp construction in South Africa with imported hemp, with The House that Hemp Built in Noordhoek, Cape Town, the BoKaap hemp house, and the Yiza Ekhaya Soup Kitchen project in Khayelitsha.
