Although these two oils are very different, it is not uncommon for one to be confused for the other.
Hemp oil, which comes from the seeds of the hemp plant, contains practically NO CBD.
Industrial hemp oil typically contains less than 25 parts per million, while CBD oil can be up to 90% CBD.
Hemp oil is used for cooking and is also an ingredient in lotions, soaps and even some foods, and while healthy, it has little to no medicinal value.
CBD oil, also known as Hemp Extract, is also a natural component of Industrial Hemp but is made from the “above ground” parts of hemp and not from its seeds like hemp oil.
Warning: because these products are related, some unscrupulous sellers of hemp oil are trying to market it for its medicinal value, which is negligible.
