What is Hemp Seed Oil?
Hemp seed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant, also known as Cannabis sativa. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6, and also contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Hemp seed oil has a nutty flavor and is often used in culinary applications such as dressings, sauces and baking. It is known for its health benefits, such as supporting healthy skin, hair and cardiovascular health, making it a popular cosmetic ingredient. Our hemp seed oil does NOT contain psychoactive substances such as THC and is therefore not associated with the mind-altering effects of cannabis.
