Hemp Oil vs. CBD Oil: What's the Difference?

HEMP+OIL+vs.+CBD+OIL+(1).png

Hemp is an amazing plant, with a deep history in humanity since before the written word. Since the Hemp Farming Act of 2018, it became completely legal to grow hemp in America as an agricultural commodity. Hemp is legally defined as cannabis that has less than .3% THC. So what’s the difference between hemp oil and CBD oil?

Hemp Oil vs. CBD Oil

Hemp oil may refer to two different types of oil. It could be hemp oil from plant matter like leaves or stalks. or hempseed oil, which is pressed from only hemp seeds. Hemp seeds do not contain any CBD or plant cannabinoids, but does have healthy fatty acids, rich nutrients, and beneficial bioactive ingredients. Hempseed oil may also be listed as as cannabis sativa seed oil.

In contrast, CBD oil is extracted specifically from the CBD-rich flowers and plant parts of hemp. CBD oil has a high concentration of CBD, whereas hemp oil does not. This is why hemp oil is typically much lower in price than CBD oil.

Choosing the Best CBD Oil

  • Look for full spectrum: When looking at your choices, choose one that is full spectrum CBD oil. This means it contains whole plant compounds that work together in an entourage effect to maximize the efficacy of CBD. Research has found that full spectrum CBD oil works much more effectively than CBD isolate, which has been stripped of all of the supporting plant compounds.

  • Verify the amount of CBD in your product. It’s imperative your CBD is from a reputable source using the best industry practices and contains the amount of CBD inside the package that is printed on the outside. You want CBD that is lab-tested and verified for its quantity of CBD (and absence of any harmful substances like pesticides, fungicides, myotoxins, and more). That’s why all of our batches are third-party tested by the industry-leading SC Labs. You can read our lab results to see how the CBD quantity is verified - and is clear of anything harmful.

  • Consider supporting terpenes: The more scientists discover, the more we find that terpenes play an imperative role in the effects of CBD. Some terpenes are relaxing, others creative and mood-boosting, and still others sedating. We’ve taken the highest quality, full spectrum CBD and enhanced it even further with beneficial terpenes and essential oils to achieve just the right mood. We have paired specially selected terpenes and essential oils to enhance your wellness, with lines designed for you to Relax, Revive, or Rest.

  • Avoid carrier oils: You want a product that is pure CBD oil, without any carrier oils or fillers that dilute the efficacy of CBD and could case harm. That’s why our CBD vape pens are only 100% CBD oil, without a drop of any carrier oil like PG, MCT, VG, or Vitamin E Acetate filler oils that many others do.   

  • We are committed to the absolute best practices in the industry, with the highest quality, purest CBD.
