Hemp seed oil, INCI CANNABIS SATIVA SEED OIL, is the fixed oil pressed from the seeds of Cannabis sativa7. It is rich in linoleic acid (59%) and α-linolenic acid (18%) in two cultivars1. CosIng classifies it as an emollient7. Residual cannabinoids have been measured in commercial oils and cosmetics34.
Entry from our cosmetic ingredient glossary. Regulatory data from the European Commission's CosIng database7. Copy the identifiers in one click for your files.
Each result shows the protocol and the level of evidence. The higher the level, the better the result carries over to a finished formula.
The oils of the four cultivars are rich in linoleic (omega 6) and α-linolenic (omega 3) acids. Felina 32 and Chamaeleon reach 59% linoleic and 18% α-linolenic; Finola and Uso31 are richest in γ-linolenic, at 5 to 6%. All show high oxidative stability1.
Thirty fatty acids and 62 glycerolipids are identified. Linoleic acid is the major component, α-linolenic acid is around 12 to 14% and γ-linolenic exceeds 1.70%2.
THC content ranges from 3.23 to 69.5 mg/kg. The ratios between phenotypes suggest that not all the oils analyzed came from industrial hemp3.
THC is detected in 22 products (0.06 to 1,777 µg/g), CBD in 34 (0.47 to 37,217 µg/g) and CBN in 5. The study, run in Taiwan, mentions a THC requirement below 10 µg/g for seed oil cosmetics. We did not verify its scope, and it is not an EU threshold4.
We retained no published controlled trial on skin application of hemp seed oil alone. The studies found cover composition, residual cannabinoids or complex formulations, where the effect of the oil is not isolated.
The authors report, in animal or cell models, effects of linoleic acid applied to the skin, including barrier repair. They call for more clinical research5. Hemp seed oil contains about 59% of it1.
The expert panel concludes that the 244 vegetable oils assessed are safe as used in cosmetics. The review focused mainly on skin effects6.
This page summarizes published literature on a cosmetic ingredient. It does not describe the effect of a finished product, which depends on its formula, and it is not medical advice. Several of the studies cited were run or funded by industry; this is indicated in the sources.
Our white label catalog includes 4 formulas with hemp seed oil: the key active in 1 of them, a supporting ingredient in the others. Every category can be customized (formula, fragrance, packaging).
Oil in the rosemary-hemp shampoo, the two-phase hair oil and the castor hair oil.
Four oils rich in linoleic acid. Only hemp provides a significant share of α-linolenic acid, and it carries a regulatory point of its own.
