Organic Hempseed Oil*
Cannabis sativa* Hempseed oil is harvested by cold-pressing hemp seeds; it is often unrefined and typically has a clear green color and a ‘nutty’ flavor. It is different from cannabidiol (CBD) oil (an oil extracted using the flowers of the cannabis plant); Hempseed oil is made from the hemp seed itself and doesn’t contain any THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive component in Cannabis. This oil has many uses; it is non-pore-clogging; great for heart health; great at decreasing inflammation; and often used in the treatment of rashes and eczema. Hempseed oil can speed up collagen and skin cell production, making it great for healing scar tissue. It can help with pain regulation, correcting the skin’s natural oil production, and even easing arthritis and seizures.
Used In: Omni Black Lavender Salve, Omni Black Super Black Soap, Omni Black Super Shea Butter Cream, Omni Black Super Ten Blend, & Omni Black Super Shea Butter Oil.
*Products made with Hempseed Oil/Hemp Oil Do Not Contain THC or CBD.
