Hemp seed oil is extracted from seeds of the hemp plant. The extraction occurs through cold-pressing, similar to the way that olives are cold-pressed to make olive oil. Hemp seed oil is different from hash oil, which is made from the Cannabis flower and contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Hemp seed oil is also different from CBD oil, which is derived from the Cannabis sativa plant but has a different composition and uses. Health Benefits: Food Hemp seed oil can be used in cooking, protein powders, energy bars and drinks, hemp milk, and butter. Skincare Hemp seed oil can be used in creams, lotions, lip balm, and liquid and bar soaps. It can help treat eczema, acne, psoriasis, and cradle cap.

Other uses Hemp seed oil can also be used in salad dressing.
