Organic Hop Extract

We are proud to say that the hero ingredient (yes, as in SUPER hero) that is in every single one of our natural products is the Organic Hop Extract.

We're quite proud of our little buds, and rightly so as we grow this extract on our very own family farm. Okay so us ladies might leave the farming part to the lads of the family but this is totally a 'what's mine is yours babe' situation with our award-winning, Husband Hop Farm - New Hoplands, situated around sunny Nelson NZ.
Read on below around why hops are not only great in beer, but also skin care and check out this featured video on our recent hop harvest, right from the vine all the way to being dried and shipped off for processing!
But what on earth is a 'hop' you may be thinking, well here is the low down;
Hops are most commonly known for their contribution to the bitterness of the popular, thirst quenching beverage, beer! 
However, the research gods have shown us that it also happens to be extremely beneficial in hair and skin care products and we happen to agree!
 

The New Zealand Organic Hop extract has properties that help protect, soothe, and revitalize the skin, while decreasing the appearance of blood vessels. This extract assists in producing a softer and more supple skin appearance through helping to improve collagen production, delay visible signs of ageing and reduce dark spots, all while having skin toning effects. The hop extract not only possesses two potent antibacterials but also contain anti-inflammatory tannins as well as natural plant estrogens that promote hormonal balance, assisting in combat against irritations such as; acne and redness.  

Anti-inflammatory properties: 
The bitter principle in the hop are the humulones - these can have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and decrease surface blood vessels. We have seen this is particularly beneficial in our range for those of you with problematic skin conditions, the hop aims to reduce the heat and redness in the base of acne and blemishes and can also be beneficial with conditions like rosacea.

Antiseptic properties: 
The extracts of Hops are rich in several compounds that make it an effective cleanser and antiseptic, it has shown to prevent five of the major acne causing bacteria.
What's better than getting rid of acne quickly? Preventing it in the first place!

Age delaying properties: 
The Xanthohumol found in the Hop is known to restrain elastase and matrixmetalloproteinases. (I promise you, I tried to google easier names to explain these enzymes to you all but these are their names and that would be like me trying to change your name - it would be just rude!)  Let's focus on the positives here, these enzymes in our skin are a significant cause of skin aging because they break down collagen and elastin fibres. 
When good ol' Xanthohumol comes along from our friend Mr Hop this decreases these enzymes defence, meaning that collagen and elastin levels go up to begin improving skin structure... can you say 'goodbye wrinkles!'

Love this, been using it for 3-4 years. My hair and nails look amazing.

Fast results!!

I recently changed from my previous brand (that was biovine collagen) to Simply collagen and noticed the difference within a week. My nails were the first to notice improvement - my skin and hair weren’t far behind . I’m converted 100%

Brilliant product

I have been using this for several years. Every now and then I stop and then I notice a huge difference - skin starts to look dull and wrinkly, achilles tendonitis flares up but all stops when I start taking it again. Definitely wouldn’t be without. I dissolve in my coffee and can’t taste it.

Blemish Gel

Just about our whole family uses the Blemish Gel (in conjunction with the 2 in 1 cleanser, toner and moisturiser). I totally rate these products. My skin as a late 30 year old was deteriorating and I got these products after seeing them on a FB ad and I have not stopped using them. My kids use them too and they are great and make such a difference!

LOVE IT!!!

I use this to not only boost protein in my daily shake but ALL the health benefits! I would not use any other product now …. And I’ve tried many!

Ultimate Botanical Serum

I love this serum, smells wonderful and it leaves my skin feeling really smooth!!
I love the natural ingredients and my face is really really hydrated after use!
This serum is the best!

It works!!!!

I have taken different types of collagen for several years and the results have not been as good as this powder. It’s the best.
My nails are long and hard and no longer flake at the ends.
Highly recommend!!!

THE GOOD STUFF

I have been using collagen now for about 5 years to relieve pain and swelling in my knees
Simply collagen has enabled me to keep walking and be pain free with the added bonus of healthy hair & nails.

Great product. Great results

I have been using simply collagen for some years now as my hair was thinning badly before I started taking simply collagen. My hair dresser is very impressed. Nails and skin better too. Would not be without it.

Amazing botanical serum!

I love this serum, it feels great on my skin and leaves it so soft, it also has a pleasant fragrance. I am a big fan!

Great night cream

I’m really enjoying my night cream….not too heavy but rich enough that I wake with a soft, supple and plumped face xxx

Intensive Moisturiser

I love this product, my skin gets dryer as I get older and this moisturiser is such a luxurious creamy moisturiser that is so good for my skin

Fantastic!

I have been using this product for maybe 5 years now and it’s absolutely fantastic! I would never use anything else!

THE GOOD STUFF

I have been using this powder for about over a year now, and I have certainly noticing a difference with my skin, hair and nails!

Best Collagen Powder

I have ben using this powder for about 5 months now, and I am certainly noticing a difference with my skin, hair and nails!

knee discomfort

I have been using collagen now for about 15 years to relieve pain and swelling in my knees
Simply collagen has enabled me to keep walking and be pain free so I am not going to stop taking it !
I recommend it to anyone who will listen

Daily fav

I love all the oxygen moisturisers, they sit nicely on the skin and don't break you out.

Good stuff

Good stuff and will order more.

This seems to go well with the collagen powder. I like that it's 100% natural. Makes my skin feel so soft. Goes well under moisturiser too

Oxygen

Ideal for sensitive and dry skin. Helps even the colour on the skin, also the redness. Great products!

Amazing

I purchased for joint pain relief which has certainly eased since starting using. But the added bonus of hair and nail health is amazing. I first noticed my hair was looking shinier and no spit ends. Then my nails started to smooth out, no more old lady ridges. Over the past two weeks I have noticed my skin , the wrinkles are definitely softer and shallower.
I have recommended to three other people who ordered. I will definitely order again.

great pack for adult hormonal skin

This pack is great for my hormonal sensitive adult skin, started working straight away to clear most of my skin. definitely worth a try for all types of skin.

Excellent Serum

Love the Ultimate Botanical Serum. Been using it for about a month and my skin is loving it and looking well hydrated and smooth.
