What is Organic Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil?
Organic Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil is obtained from the seeds of the hemp plant. It is typically extracted through cold pressing, which helps retain its nutritional properties.
It's often used in lip care products due to its moisturizing properties, as well as in cooking and skincare for its omega fatty acids. While hemp seed oil doesn't contain THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis, some users believe it has calming effects, though this is largely anecdotal.
On labels, look for its purity and whether it’s organic, especially if you seek specific ethical or dietary claims.
