While Hemp, Inc. debuted its cosmeceutical line last summer, the company's market penetration strategy started at HempCon in San Jose, CA on January 23, 2015. There, Hemp, Inc. was able to showcase its cosmeceutical line to over 100 industry-related exhibitors and thousands of attendees. CEO Bruce Perlowin, who often speaks at industry events, was one of HempCon's featured speakers. Since then, the company has been focused on getting more exposure with wholesalers, resale distributors, manufacturers and consumers, directly through industry-related expos and shows.
Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP) has since showcased its cosmeceutical line at the 13th Annual Conscious Life Expo on February 6-8, 2015 held at the LAX Hilton and the High Times Cannabis Cup, February 7-8, 2015 in San Bernardino, California.
"The Ascent Expo is an ideal opportunity to share the benefits of our hemp-based cosmeceutical line with thousands of expected attendees and over 200 expected exhibitors who are collectively committed to what we call conscious commerce," said Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP). "Hemp, Inc.'s hemp-based cosmeceutical line for skin and body care make it easy for consumers to simplify their body-care routine in a more sustainable way... perfect for the more green-conscious lifestyle." To purchase tickets, click here.
Hemp, Inc. is one of the major sponsors of the Ascent Expo and is a huge supporter of some of the other vendors scheduled to attend such as Agape Church and Spiritual CenterTwilight BrigradeKeepers of the Wild, and Patch Adams.
Rev. Michael Beckwith, Founder of Agape Church, was also one of the featured teachers in the 2006 movie, The Secret, and the bestselling book, The Secret. He "visioned" the spiritual center "as a movement that would take a stand for love, for peace, for being a beneficial presence on the planet. That's why it was named 'Agape,' which in Greek means unconditional love. Agape's vision is fueled by the love of God, the One, indefinable yet unmistakable Presence whose vehicle on earth is the human heart and soul." Rev. Beckwith says his "aspiration is that every individual who is touched by the vibration of Agape is inspired to cultivate a heart of love as wide as the world." The spiritual center also affords opportunities to enhance "your life-experience from a foundation of personal spiritual empowerment."
Dannion Brinkley, founder of The Twilight Brigade, established one of the largest end-of-life care communities that operates as an independent agency within the VA hospitals and hospice care facilities across America. According to Brinkley, thousands of volunteers across the country make up the Twilight Brigade and are dedicated to being at the bedside of the nation's dying Veterans.
Keepers of the Wild is home to over 140 exotic and indigenous wild animals that were rescued, surrendered by an owner, or placed with the organization by other animal welfare agencies. According to Keepersofthewild.org, animals placed at Keepers of the Wild can depend on a safe and life-long home. The non-profit organization strives to fulfill its mission to educate the public and to rescue, rehabilitate and provide life-long care to exotic and indigenous wildlife.
Hunter Doherty "Patch" Adams is best known as an American physician, social activist, clown, and author who was made famous by the 1998 semi-biographical comedy-drama film (Patch Adams) that starred actor Robin Williams. "Patch" is the founder of the Gesundheit! Institute, a non-profit healthcare organization whose mission is to reframe and reclaim the concept of 'hospital'. The Institute, according to the website, is a "model of holistic medical care-based on the belief that the health of the individual cannot be separated from the health of the family, the community, the society and the world" and is founded on the six following principles: (1) Care is free; no third party reimbursement (private or public insurance) is accepted; (2) No malpractice insurance is carried; (3) Initial interviews with patients are 3-4 hours long; (4) The health of the care-giver is as important as the health of the care-receiver; (5) Patients are treated as friends; and, (6) All complementary medicines are accepted. Patch is currently "fundraising for a 44-bed community hospital building" in West Virginia.
"We are thrilled with what the Agape Church, The Twilight Brigade, Keepers of the Wild, and Patch Adams will bring to the table at the Ascent Expo in terms of being conscious-oriented innovators, working and living in a way that is conscious of other people, conscious of the environment and other cultures," commented Perlowin.

Its nutrient-rich formula absorbs into the skin for deep conditioning and moisturizing without a greasy residue. The Hemp Massage Oil currently comes in Nag Champa, Orange Cream and White Tea Ginger.
Hemp Miracle Oil - At 1 ounce, the Hemp Miracle Oil is a 100% natural blend of Hemp Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Vitamin E, and 9 other beneficial essential oils that deeply soothes and moisturizes dry, irritated skin leaving it soft, smooth and deeply nourished.
