Also known as: Cannabis Sativa Oil, Hemp Oil
Hemp seed oil is cold-pressed from Cannabis sativa seeds and has an ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of approximately 3:1. It is rich in linoleic acid, which is often deficient in acne-prone skin. Non-comedogenic and anti-inflammatory, it is particularly beneficial for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. Contains no CBD or THC.
