Hemp oil

Hemp oil is from the seed of the hemp plant that contains between 25 &ndash 35% oil by weight, which is high in essential fatty acids. Cold-pressed, unrefined hemp oil is light green, with a nutty, grassy flavour.

Refined hemp oil is clear with little flavour or nutrients. It is widely used in body care products, lubricants, paints and industrial uses. Antimicrobial properties make it a useful ingredient for soaps, shampoos and detergents.

Consumption of hemp oil may cause an individual to flunk a urine test for drug use.
