What is CBD hemp oil?
There is no plant more versatile than the hemp plant. Almost every part of the plant is used mainly for industrial purposes. There are two different oils made from the hemp plant: CBD hemp oil and Hemp seed oil.
1.) CBD hemp oil
CBD hemp oil is extracted from the hemp plant itself for its CBD content. This is what we call “CBD hemp oil or CBD hemp extract.” CBD hemp oil extraction can be compared to olive oil extraction. After extraction, the oil contains CBD - this is the main element - but the oil contains many more cannabinoids and compounds like; essential vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, fatty acids, and other non-psychoactive compounds. We call this "full-spectrum CBD hemp oil."
To maintain the EU legal requirements, CBD hemp oil has to meet the limit of less than 0.2 percent THC.

2.) Hemp seed oil
Like other plants, the hemp plant grows seeds in its lifecycle. After harvest, the hemp seeds are collected from the hemp plants. This is when the extraction process begins, and the hemp seed oil is extracted from the hemp seeds. Generally, hemp seed oil contains a very low to no CBD - Cannabidiol - or other cannabinoids. Still, hemp seed oil is an excellent source of essential vitamins, minerals, and flavonoids, and above all, hemp seed oil contains the perfect ratio of fatty acids.
