Where does it come from?

Hemp extract is derived from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant, which is cultivated in various parts of the world, including Europe, Canada, and the United States. The seeds are cold-pressed to extract the oil, ensuring that the nutritional content is preserved. Hemp has been cultivated for thousands of years for its fibers, seeds, and oil, and today, hemp seed oil is a popular ingredient in skincare products due to its rich nutrient profile.
