Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil

Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil is a naturally rich hemp seed oil containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (90%) and essential fatty acids (75%). It offers an excellent balance of essential fatty acids and contains polyphenolic compounds, particularly flavonoids with noticeable antioxidant activity.

According to The Lipid Handbook, hemp seed contains 30–35% oil with an iodine value of 140–175. The predominant fatty acids are 18:1 (12%), 18:2 (55%), and 18:3 (25%). The oil is derived from the industrial hemp variety and possesses antimicrobial, soothing, and skin-moisturizing properties.

Cannabis sativa seed oil exhibits anti-inflammatory, skin-regenerating, and revitalizing properties. It also has analgesic properties and is used in specialized applications to relieve pain through topical application. It is entirely safe and non-toxic for the consumer when incorporated into personal care applications. It is permitted for culinary use and is widely used for edible purposes in Asia.

Rich in essential fatty acids and powerful antioxidants, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil offers anti-aging benefits and improves skin smoothness, moisturization, and elasticity. Thanks to its Cannabidiolic acid content, it is effective against Gram+ and Gram- bacteria and against bacterial biofilm formation. In addition, it regulates the release of proinflammatory cytokines, decreasing the inflammatory response induced by bacterial infection.

With a light, non-greasy texture, Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil has excellent skin permeation and high penetration, making it frequently used in moisturizing creams and lotions. Besides skin care applications, it is also used in hair and sun care products, and decorative cosmetics.
