Hemp Seed Oil is perfectly suited for hair and skin care. Its nutritional value, combined with its moisturizing and replenishing EFA’s, make it one of the best vegetable body care foundations. Hemp seed oil’s EFA complement includes polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, linoleic acid, and gamma linoleic acids (GLA’s). Although they are very effective in skin care maintenance, GLA’s are rarely found in natural oils. Hemp is an excellent source of GLA’s.
Hemp Seed Oil is also one of the few sources of gammalinolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid (EFA) that resembles sebum, the natural lubricant in skin and hair. For this reason, the personal hygiene products made with Hemp Seed Oil enhance the skin’s softness and smoothness and help blend hair its natural sheen and body.
Body care products containing hemp seed oil can reduce skin discomfort by soothing and restoring dry or damaged skin. They also increase the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture.
With regular use, body care products containing hemp seed oil can help slow down the effects of skin aging and leave the skin smooth, soft and moisturized.

Are hemp and marijuana the same thing?
Hemp and marijuana are very different varieties from the same plant species Cannabis Sativa.The major difference between the two varieties is in the level of THC, the psychoactive ingredient found at levels between 5-20% in marijuana while at trace levels of 0.00030% in hemp (maximum allowable limit).
Will hemp products make the consumer high?
NO! Absolutely not. The trace levels of THC present in hemp derivatives do not provide anywhere near the potency (percentage of THC by weight) required to give the consumer a drug high.
What are the chances of failing a drug screening test?
Recently, several studies have shown that based on the trace levels of THC present in today’s hemp food and body care products, that the chances of being tested and obtaining a “false” positive drug test is so unlikely that it is impossible!
Why was hemp originally outlawed in Canada and the USA in the late 1930′s?
Many people believe this was a conspiracy by a number of major US corporations who stood to lose a lucrative market share of the raw fiber industry for paper, composites and nylon rope products. Others feel it was a case of “throwing out the baby with the bath water” referring to both marijuana and hemp as one in the same. Yet, at the same time, an exception was written into US law allowing for the importation of sterilized hemp seeds, oil, fiber and derivative products, which remains the same today even though it is illegal to grow hemp in the USA.
