Hemp 101 was born from a moment that felt small at the time, but changed everything. In a warm London kitchen, founder Fabian Desouza stood over a handmade batch of bright lemongrass hemp soap, with his children beside him, helping stir the mixture that would become the first Hemp 101 product. That was nearly a decade ago — the beginning of a dream that refused to fade.

 

Fabian has been an entrepreneur for decades, but Hemp 101 is the one venture that comes from his soul. Inspired by the colours, culture, and spirit of Notting Hill, he built this brand with a simple belief: hemp has the power to improve lives. Not in theory — in real, everyday ways. In the food we eat. In the fabrics we wear. In skincare that’s clean, natural, and gentle. In sustainable choices that actually last.
