Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil

Also known as: hemp oil

Cannabis sativa seed oil, also known as hemp seed oil, is a lightweight plant oil naturally rich in linoleic and alpha-linolenic essential fatty acids. It calms visible redness, hydrates the skin, and strengthens barrier function without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. Sourced from the seeds of the plant, it contains negligible to no cannabinoids such as THC or CBD.
