Hemp Oil vs Hemp Seed Oil: What’s the Difference? 

Hemp seed oil and hemp oil are two types of oils derived from the cannabis plant.  

Hemp oil is derived from the leaves and stalk and contains a number of cannabinoids, including CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Hemp seed oil on the other hand is derived from the seeds of the cannabis plant. It contains about 45 percent polyunsaturated fatty acids and 32 percent linoleic acid, both of which are considered essential fatty acids (EFAs). 

The main difference between the two is that Hemp seed oil does NOT contain cannabinoids and is often used in cosmetics, soaps, and shampoos, and as a food supplement. Hemp seed oil has a number of skin benefits, including relieving flaking, dry skin; hydrating skin; locking in natural oils, and acting as an emollient to remove toxins from the skin.  

What Can Hemp Do For Your Hair?

Hemp seed oil has plenty of Omega-3 and Omega- 6 fatty acids that help in hair regrowth and alleviate symptoms associated with thinning hair and baldness. Hemp seed oil also is also rich in Vitamin E and antioxidant that is suggested to have a positive impact on scalp health and promote shiny hair. 

Not only does hemp seed oil help retain moisture and hair luster, but it also is an effective anti-dandruff ingredient. Hemp seed oil has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial for people who suffer from seborrhea dermatitis or flaky scalp.

What women are saying about us...

“I ordered for my daughters thin hair. She’s so picky. I used it first, bad idea cause I have thick curly hair. After 2 washes my hair felt like it grew va inch. But it made my daughters hair fill more in. She said it felt great” — Tracy 

“Truly incredible!!! My hair is so much thicker its incredible, my husband and everyone sees it and my friends have asked me what are you using on your hair ? I rarely leave reviews honestly but, when I know I tried something that had great reviews and I decided to give it a try....and everyone's reviews are the same ....yup, I have to let yaz know this stuff is golden . I have the shampoo and conditioner and the thickning serum that you put in when your hair is wet . I still on top of that still spray my shea moisture leave in conditioner and for my curls Cantu clear gel . My hair is way thicker with ma curls !” — Iris

“I have hair thats wavy/curly. Sometimes its full on curls during the year and other times borderline wavy. Well my hair specifically loves sulfates. Non sulfates even with me doing a weekly/bi weekly cleanse had a result of my hair looking horrible. This brand had an awesome deal and I'm always willing to try new brands. I can honestly say my hair loved this. This is the first sulfate free shampoo I'm actually liking and seeing good results with. The smell I can't place what it is but its very pleasant and not overwhelming at least to me and I have a very high sensitivity to smells/scents. I'd say give it a try.” — Elizabeth

“Have tried sooo many shampoos and conditioners, this product is it! My hair is fine and thin, hair loss of late, small amount goes long way, been using a month and am pleased with results

The DHT blockers are a plus I'm hoping it will deter the hair loss.” — DONNA
