Hemp seed oil Organic
Description
Organic Hemp Oil, extracted by cold pressing from organically certified Cannabis Sativa seeds, offers the ideal 3:1 ratio between Omega-6 and Omega-3, essential for cell health. This emerald-green "dry oil" has a fine texture and penetrates the skin instantly.
Unlike other extracts from the same plant (such as those from flowers or leaves), the seed oil does not contain psychoactive cannabinoids (THC), being a purely nutritional and emollient ingredient. It is recognized for its exceptional soothing properties, being tolerated even by the most reactive skin. Rich in Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA) and antioxidants, this oil is a valuable ally against dehydration, inflammation, and premature aging, without clogging pores.

editor_choice Recommendations for use and Synergies
Facial care
Hemp Oil is the "Holy Grail" for people with oily, acne-prone or couperose skin. It balances the fatty acid profile on the skin's surface, fluidizing sebum and preventing the formation of blackheads. It is also excellent for men, as an aftershave oil, due to its immediate soothing effect.
Practical recommendations
- Serum for acne-prone skin: Apply 3 drops in the evening to clean skin. The oil will soothe active inflammation and hydrate the skin aggressed by conventional anti-acne treatments.
- Soothing redness (Rosacea): Gently massage the areas affected by redness. Gamma-Linolenic Acid will reduce capillary reactivity.
- Mattifying makeup base: Due to rapid absorption, it can be applied in a very thin layer before foundation to prevent flaking.
Synergies in facial care
For acne and blackheads, it combines perfectly with Black Cumin Seed Oil and Tea Tree Essential Oil. For sensitive and irritated skin, associate with Bisabolol and Calendula Oil. For a purifying effect, add Lavender Essential Oil.
Hair care
Although its texture is light, Hemp oil is a strong hair fortifier, being composed of 25% protein. It is recommended for irritated, itchy scalps or seborrheic dermatitis, restoring the hydrolipidic balance of the scalp.
Practical recommendations
- Scalp treatment: Massage the scalp with slightly warmed oil (careful, not hot, so as not to destroy the Omega-3). Leave for 30 minutes. It soothes itching and eliminates scales.
- Sealing hydration: Apply to the ends of fine hair. It will not weigh the hair down and will provide a natural shine, protecting the fiber from breakage.
- Protein mask: Add a tablespoon of oil to your usual hair mask to increase the intake of essential amino acids necessary for keratin formation.
Synergies in hair care
For stimulating growth and scalp health, combine with Castor Oil and Rosemary Essential Oil. For hair that is oily at the roots, associate with Jojoba Oil and Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil.
Body care
It is extremely useful in alleviating the symptoms of eczema, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, reducing extreme dryness and the sensation of "tight skin".
Practical recommendations
- Soothing body oil: Apply to damp skin after showering. It immediately soothes skin irritated by hard water or chlorine.
- Dry hands care: Massage the hands in the evening. The oil quickly penetrates the skin, allowing you to use your hands immediately without leaving greasy marks.
- Therapeutic massage: Ideal for back or leg massage, especially in combination with anti-inflammatory essential oils.
Synergies in body care
For atopic skin, the best synergy is with Borage Oil and Shea Butter. For muscle relaxation, combine with Arnica Oil and Wintergreen Essential Oil.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Does it contain THC or CBD?
- No. Hemp seed oil is different from CBD oil (extracted from flowers/leaves). It is obtained strictly from seeds and does not contain psychoactive or therapeutic cannabinoids like THC or CBD, but only nutrients (fatty acids, vitamins).
- Does it have psychoactive effects?
- Absolutely not. Its use is strictly cosmetic and nutritional, having no effect on the central nervous system.
- Does it smell like weed?
- It has a characteristic, natural odor, reminiscent of mown hay, raw nuts, and herbs. It is a pleasant smell for most users, which attests to the virgin, unrefined quality of the product.
- Is it suitable for babies?
- Yes, being organic and pure, it is excellent for baby massage or for treating cradle cap and diaper rash, being completely non-toxic.
- Why does it need to be kept in the fridge?
- Hemp oil is very rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6), which are unstable and react quickly with oxygen and heat, becoming rancid. The refrigerator slows down this process.
Technical data, quality
The product is obtained by mechanical cold pressing (< 40°C) of hulled or unhulled hemp seeds. The intense green color is given by natural chlorophyll, a valuable antioxidant.
The main active compounds are:
- Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): 50-60%. Essential for the skin barrier.
- Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3): 15-20%. Strong anti-inflammatory, rarely found in such high concentrations.
- Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA): 1-4%. A rare fatty acid, vital for atopic and hormonal skin.
- Oleic Acid (Omega-9): 10-15%.
- Vitamin E and Chlorophyll: Antioxidants that protect the skin from pollution.
Warnings, Safety data
General precautions
- Cosmetic product for external use. Do not ingest (although it is technically food grade, the destination of this batch is cosmetic).
- Test on a small area of skin before use.
Safety in use
It is one of the safest oils, with minimal risk of allergies or irritations. It can be safely used by pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is not photosensitizing, but its rapid oxidation in the sun suggests using it preferably in the evening or under SPF.
Storage, keeping
- Attention: High risk of oxidation!
- It must be stored in airtight containers, completely protected from light.

Why we love it
We love Organic Hemp Oil for its mathematical perfection: the 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 is exactly what our skin recognizes and assimilates best. It is the "chameleon oil" that achieves the impossible: to hydrate dry skin, but also regulate oily skin, without clogging pores. Its emerald green color reminds us daily that we are using a living product, full of chlorophyll and energy, a true food for the skin.
