Medicprogress hemp body lotion 200ml

Medicprogress hemp body lotion 200 ml

The MedicProgress body lotion is a simple, lightweight emulsion, in which hemp seed oil is declared at a level of 5% of the composition. The bottle holds 200 ml, making it a capacity designed for daily use, not for occasional application on elbows. The INCI list starts with water and immediately follows with Cannabis sativa seed oil, then comes panthenol, propylene glycol, cetearyl alcohol, and triglycerides of caprylic and capric acids, followed by shea butter, tocopheryl acetate, and allantoin. The manufacturer is the MedicProgress brand, primarily present in the Czech market. The Czech product card describes the cosmetic as dermatologically tested and provides a clear warning: this product is for external use only, not intended for consumption. The consistency is light, allowing the lotion to spread quickly and not leave a heavy film, which is important if you apply it in the morning before getting dressed. The manufacturer also recommends a patch test before first use and advises against applying the product to damaged skin.

Ingredients

• Hemp seed oil (Cannabis sativa seed oil) - declared 5% of the composition
• Panthenol (D-panthenol) - one of the ingredients listed by the manufacturer as active
• Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii butter)
• Tocopheryl acetate (tocopheryl acetate) - vitamin E in ester form
• Allantoin, lactic acid, beeswax (cera alba)
• Base and emulsifiers: water, propylene glycol, cetearyl alcohol, caprylic-capric triglycerides, cyclopentasiloxane, dimethiconol, cetearyl glucoside
• Preservation and fragrance: phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, fragrance composition

The order on the INCI list reflects the decreasing share of ingredients, so the position of hemp oil right after water is consistent with the declared 5% provided by the manufacturer. The order also says a lot about the structure of the formula itself: water and hemp oil at the front, followed closely by the emulsion base - propylene glycol, cetearyl alcohol, caprylic-capric triglycerides, and silicones. This is the arrangement of a light lotion that is meant to be absorbed and leave the surface, rather than remain as a layer, and it is this that determines that the product spreads over the entire body, not just in spots. The formula is a classic emulsion, not a natural cosmetic in the sense of certification, as it contains silicones (cyclopentasiloxane, dimethiconol), propylene glycol, and phenoxyethanol as a preservative, as well as beeswax, which excludes the cosmetic from vegan formulas. The fragrance is introduced by a separate fragrance composition, so the product has a noticeable scent, and it is worth knowing this if you choose cosmetics for reactive skin.

How to use

The manufacturer’s instructions are simple: apply the lotion to the skin of the body and rub it in, in an amount that the skin can absorb. The card notes not to use the product on damaged or diseased skin and recommends performing a patch test before first use.

• Apply the lotion to the skin of the body and spread it with a gentle massage
• Use as much as the skin can absorb - excess will remain on the surface
• A convenient moment is on skin after bathing, still slightly damp
• Do not apply to damaged or diseased skin
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before first use

For whom

This is a proposal for those looking for a regular, everyday body lotion with a hemp accent and do not expect a natural cosmetic from it. The light consistency makes the product suitable for use in the morning when there is no time to wait for the balm to absorb, and the 200 ml capacity is enough for regular use over a longer period without putting the bottle on the shelf with supplies. The composition is a classic emulsion: alongside hemp seed oil, panthenol, shea butter, and tocopheryl acetate, you will find silicones, propylene glycol, and phenoxyethanol, so if you consciously avoid them, this will not be the product for you. It is also not a vegan cosmetic, as it contains beeswax, nor is it fragrance-free, as there is a fragrance composition in the ingredients. People with reactive skin should start with a patch test on a small area of skin, and if an allergy to any ingredient on the INCI list is confirmed, simply refrain from use.

Frequently asked questions

How much hemp oil is in this lotion?

The manufacturer declares 5% hemp seed oil, i.e., Cannabis sativa seed oil. On the INCI list, the oil is directly after water, which is consistent with this declaration. The remaining ingredients are listed by the Czech product card by name and in order of decreasing share, so panthenol, shea butter, and tocopheryl acetate are further down the list than hemp oil.

Is the product vegan and fragrance-free?

No in both cases. The composition contains beeswax (cera alba), which excludes the cosmetic from a vegan diet, and a fragrance composition listed in the INCI as parfum, so the product has a noticeable scent. If you are looking for a fragrance-free or fully plant-based formula, it is worth looking for a cosmetic explicitly declared as such.

How and at what temperature should the bottle be stored?

The Czech product card states to store in a dry and dark place, at a temperature of 5-25 °C, protecting it from frost. In practice, this means a regular bathroom cabinet away from the radiator and windowsill. Close the bottle after each use and keep it out of reach of children.

Can the lotion be used on the face?

The manufacturer describes this cosmetic as a body lotion and such use is stated on the card. The formula is designed for large areas of skin, not for the thin and reactive skin of the face. If you are looking for a hemp cosmetic for facial care, it makes more sense to reach for a product that has been specifically intended for that purpose, rather than extending the use beyond what the card states.

Variants and category

The lotion is available in one capacity - 200 ml. It is a body cosmetic, while facial care is a separate shelf and different formulas. The lotion itself can be found in the Balms category.

Safety and storage

The cosmetic is applied to the skin of the body and should not be applied to damaged or diseased skin. Store the bottle in a dry and dark place, at a temperature of 5-25 °C, protecting it from frost and direct sunlight. If allergic to any ingredient on the INCI list, refrain from use, and if redness or burning occurs after application, wash the product off with water.

The product is intended for external use only and not for consumption. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, and if the product gets into the eye, rinse it with plenty of water. Keep out of reach of children. Before first use, perform a patch test on a small area of skin and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
