Description
Virgin Organic Hemp Seed Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa) and left unrefined. Sourced from Canada, it is a deep green oil with a nutty, earthy aroma and a light feel that absorbs readily. It contains no THC or CBD and is not the same as CBD oil, which comes from the flower rather than the seed.
Rich in omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, it is popular as a nourishing face and body oil that leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable, and as a conditioning treat for hair and scalp. Many people mix it with a more stable oil such as jojoba to help it keep longer, and it makes a good base for essential oils.
- Balanced omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids
- Leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable
- Low comedogenic rating, suits most skin types
- Contains no THC or CBD
Pairs well with: Jojoba, argan, grapeseed, lavender, frankincense and rosemary
