Garden of Wisdom's Hemp Seed Oil has a gentle, nutty flavor and scent. This oil reduces skin discomfort by soothing and restoring dry or damaged skin and increasing the natural moisture retention capacity. With regular use, body care products containing hemp seed oil can help slow down the effects of skin aging and leave the skin smooth, soft, and moisturized.
Hemp Seed Oil is a nutrient-rich oil extracted from the hemp plant seeds (Cannabis sativa). Unlike CBD oil, which is extracted from the leaves, flowers, and stalks of the hemp plant and contains cannabinoids like CBD, hemp seed oil does not contain significant levels of cannabinoids, such as THC or CBD. Instead, it is prized for its nutritional value and potential health benefits.
Botanical Name: Cannabis sativa Origin: USA Extraction Method: Cold Pressed / Unrefined Color: Rich Green Derived From: Finola Hemp Seed Contains: Vit A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, D & E Base Oil: Can be used up to 100% strength Shelf Life: 1 year (keep refrigerated if possible)
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

This hemp seed oil is just another affordable staple in my skincare routine from GOW; my skin has never looked better! I use this oil after rinsing my skin and applying HA serum morning and night. (I also exfoliate or use retinol every 2-3 days depending on how my skin is feeling/looking)
This oil leaves my skin feeling moisturized, but not greasy. I will say if you want a dryer oil, you may prefer apricot or pomegranate seed (both of which I’ve tried from GOW and both are very nice). My dry skin glows most, though, after applying a few drops of hemp seed oil.
Thank you so much for this review! :)

Lovely, healing oil
This oil is very emollient and soothing and anti-inflammatory. My sensitive skin loves it. I also use a couple of drops on damp hair for conditioning. It has a green smell, a little like alfalfa sprouts, which I don't mind.
Thank you so much! Hemp for sure has a smell but it is very worth it for sensitive skin :)
