An oil extracted by pressing the seeds of the hemp plant to extract an oil that is commonly used in skincare and food products. This oil is high in linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid and essential fatty acids (omega 6 and omega 3), which are beneficial to the skin and help support immunity. When cold pressed and unrefined, the oil is green in color and nutty in flavor. Hemp seed oil is different from hemp oil because it comes from the seeds and not the flowers. There are no significant levels of cannabinoids in hemp seed oil.

Hemp Seed Oil (Wikipedia)

Hemp oil (hemp seed oil) is oil obtained by pressing hemp seeds. Cold pressed, unrefined hemp oil is dark to clear light green in color, with a nutty flavor. The darker the color, the grassier the flavour. It should not be confused with hash oil, a tetrahydrocannabinol-containing oil made from the Cannabis flower.
