First Things First

What is CBD? Cannabidiol (better known as CBD) is one of over 100 chemical compounds called “cannabinoids” found in the flower of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa).

Hemp VS. Marijuana

What’s the difference? Both hemp and marijuana belong to the “cannabis” genus of plants, but produce different cannabinoids, like CBD. While both are in high demand, only one actually gets you high.

Let’s compare:

Hemp is the part of the cannabis plant that is federally approved under the Farm Bill for its common food and personal care uses. It contains a low concentration of THC (<0.3%) and has no psychoactive effects. It’s not your fun uncle—more like a nurturing aunt.

Marijuana contains a low concentration calming CBD, but it also produces the “fun uncle” of cannabinoids, THC—the stuff that gets you high.

Oils from the Hemp Plant

Hemp Seed Oil vs. Hemp Plant Oil: Now, let’s take it even deeper. You can extract oils from different parts of the hemp plant to suit a variety of purposes.

Oil extracted from the hemp seeds is nutrient-rich but contains little to no CBD and won’t work the same magic on your hair and scalp as oil extracted from the flower. Oil extracted from the flower contains high (no pun intended) concentrations of scalp-loving 99% Pure CBD.

Types of CBD

What are the different types of CBD? CBD can come in three forms containing different types of cannabinoids. Full Spectrum CBD can contain THC (fun uncle), but Broad Spectrum and Isolate contain a low to no amount of THC (<0.3%) while also delivering powerful benefits to your hair & scalp.
