Hemp seed oil is rapidly gaining recognition as a powerhouse of nutrition and wellness and being grown in Scotland. We all know that Olive oil is good for us and the Mediterranean’s are testament to that with their glowing smoother skin and longer life spans, but we have to import it which means more emissions and now we are paying double the price!!
Don’t get confused! – You can rest assured that there is no THC (psychoactive element) in Hemp Seed Oil, due to UK licensing regulations in the growing of Hemp.
