Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp Seed oil is obtained from the seeds of Cannabis sativa plant by cold pressing method. Seeds of the plant contain 20–25% protein, 20–30% carbohydrates, 25–35% oil and 10–15% insoluble fibre and a rich array of minerals [1,2].

Hemp Seed oil is high in polyunsaturated fatty acid. Hemp Seed oil has been suggested to be perfectly balanced in regards to the ratio (3:1) of the two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) for human nutrition. Thanks to its gamma-linolenic acid content, It has high skin penetration ability. Besides this, It is rich in antioxidant composition such as vitamin E and carotene [1,2, 3].
