This plant has seed-producing flowers that form elongated spike-like clusters from which the Hemp oil is derived. History: This flowering plant was first cultivated in Asia and was then brought to Europe by explorers. Hemp plants were initially used to manufacture fabric and added as cooking ingredients. Benefits: Reduce inflammation, soothe eczema, fight acne, moisturize skin, protect skin from sun damage. A Sacred Secret? Hemp seed oil, a true ancient superfood, is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and protein, which have contributed to its status as a revered healing plant since 8,000 BC. |

Why Choose Organic, Cold-Pressed Hemp Seed Oil?
Organic ingredients have more potent nutrients and are free from chemicals and pesticides that enter your body. The key to beautiful skin lies in vitamins and nutrients, so we only choose to source the finest ingredients without chemicals and pesticides.
- Organic (Biodynamic) Label: Refers to how ingredients are grown and harvested.
- Cold-Pressed Label: Refers to how ingredients are processed from a plant or seed to an oil. When oils are cold-pressed, they are extracted from their source using mechanical methods rather than heat or solvents.
With cold-pressed oils, there is very little processing, which allows it to retain important nutrients responsible for healing. Ultimately, cold pressing delivers a potent product that's highly effective AND safe because there aren't any additives. It’s a win/win for your skin!

What is Hemp seed oil?
Hemp seed oil is a unique natural oil derived from the seeds of Hemp plants. It is renowned for its wide-ranging positive impacts on overall health, such as enhancing skin quality, reducing blood pressure, providing pain relief, and much more.
How Is Hemp Seed Oil Made?
Hemp seed oil is made from the Hemp plant, a member of the Cannabis sativa species. The Hemp plant is grown specifically for its seeds, which are then cold-pressed to extract the oil. Here are the basic steps involved in the production of Hemp seed oil:
- Harvesting: On some farms, harvesting still happens manually using special cutters or knives but on a larger scale, Hemp farm owners use specially modified harvesting equipment called combine harvesters.
- Cleaning and drying: seeds are transported to an indoor environment for cleansing and drying. The drying methods used can vary from barns and dehumidifiers, sheds and fans to racks and mechanical dryers
- Screening or Sieving: The harvested seeds are separated according to their sizes before further processing
- Crush the seeds: Once the seeds are fully dry and graded, they are crushed to break the outer shell and release the oil-rich seed.
- Press the Hemp seeds: The crushed seed kernel is then pressed to extract the oil. This is typically done using a cold-pressing method, which involves applying pressure to the seeds without using heat or solvents.
- Filter the oil: The extracted oil is filtered to remove any remaining debris or impurities.
- Store the oil: The filtered oil is then stored in a clean, dark, airtight container to preserve its quality and freshness.
