In a market as emerging as that of CBD, the properties of hemp oil have made this product one of the most demanded by its public thanks to the benefits it brings to users who dare to try it and incorporate it into their daily routine.
What is hemp oil?
The new trendy product in the sector that is sounding strong in Spain is hemp oil, which has quickly become famous for its multiple properties, effects, and benefits, which we will tell you about in this post, to help you improve your health and your quality of life.
Therefore, at De Pata Verde we could not count it among our wide range of CBD products.
This oil comes from seeds from industrial hemp plants, also known as, which are characterized by their low percentage of THC (always with an amount below 0.2% by dry weight). It is, therefore, a natural, organic, and vegetable product that lacks psychotropic effects, so it does not produce any mental effect on those who use it.
Today this oil is considered one of the best in the world, together with olive oil and sunflower oil. In this post we will tell you everything you need to know about it and its properties, giving you some tips on how to use it.
Where is it extracted from?
To obtain hemp oil, industrial hemp seeds are cold extracted to extract all the oil they contain. So whole fields are sown and cultivated with seeds certified by the European Union (Felina 32, Kompolti…) with stable varieties that allow, as long as rigorous care is followed during cultivation, to produce quality seeds and ensure that the THC level never exceeds 0.2%.
Cold pressing is used for oil extraction, helping to preserve acids, nutrients, and properties that need low temperatures in order not to deteriorate. In this sense, to maximize the extraction yield, we look for varieties with large seed production, since they are the ones that produce more oil.

The reality is that hemp oil, also called “oil hemp”, is considered one of the best oils in the world for its properties and the benefits it brings to the health of those who consume it on a regular basis. In many countries such as the USA, Uruguay, and Holland, CBD oil is integrated into the dietary routine of many people and in this section, we will explain why it is so good.

It also stands out for being highly moisturizing which is very useful for its cutaneous application on skin, hair, and nails where it produces great benefits. In fact, one of its main uses is precisely to relieve and soothe various skin conditions such as itching, eczema, psoriasis, acne, or dry skin.
Hand in hand with this application on the skin comes the cosmetic properties of hemp oil, which is also used as another element of beauty, being incorporated into the facial routine of many people.
