Hemp oil VS CBD oil
Difference Between CBD and Hemp Oil
It can be confusing. There are many products made from Hemp and it is important to know the difference. In this article we will discuss what hemp seed oil is, what it’s used for and then we will cover CBD oil.
What Is Hemp Seed Oil?
“Hemp seed oil, sometimes referred to as cannabis sativa seed oil, is perfectly good seed oil that’s high in antioxidants, omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, but contains no CBD,” says Capobianco. “Hemp seed or cannabis sativa seed oil has been available in health food stores for decades and abundantly present in smoothies and skin care.”
Hemp Seed Oil For Skin
So this means it has absolutely no cannabinoids in it—not CBD, THC, or CBN. “It’s generally viewed as a superfood and is great for adding nutritional value to your diet,” she says. “In terms of skin care, it’s known as a powerful moisturizer and skin softener that doesn’t clog pores or contribute to oily skin—it has a comedogenic rating of zero.” It shows up on the product label as hemp seed oil, cannabis sativa (hemp) seed oil, virgin hemp oil, and hemp oil.
Full Spectrum / Broad Spectrum Hemp CBD Oil
This form of hemp oil is infused with cannabinoids. Utoya has a selection of Nano-emulsified full spectrum hemp CBD. If you are unfamiliar with nano-emulsion, be sure to check out our Guide To Nano Products.
If you’re trying to reap the maximum benefits of CBD oil, hemp seed oil won’t deliver…which is a problem considering that these oils don’t come cheap.
“Unfortunately, we see a number of brands cynically cashing in on the popularity and cannabis trend and even making false claims that their products contain CBD when they contain none,” says Capobianco. “Some brands are calling hemp seed oil cannabis sativa oil, which is deceiving.”
Most of Utoya’s CBD products are made from Full Spectrum CBD, which means it has the Full Spectrum of cannabinoid properties, CBD, CBN & small legal traces of TCH (less than .3%). We do have a Broad Spectrum product that removes the THC for those who are afraid of testing positive in a drug test. Most likely the small traces would never show up, but this way you know for sure. We also have special tinctures infused with the CBD in our PLUS line to enhance the product for healing potential of the liver, heart, brain, joints, and muscles. The tincture line of PLUS CBD products also have a Sleep Tight, Golden Ratio (55+), Women’s Support, Kid’s Focus & Men’s Libito for specialty uses.
