Hemp seed oil's case for a place in your skincare routine is well-supported by evidence. From its balanced omega fatty acids profile to its anti-inflammatory hemp oil properties, the research consistently points to meaningful, measurable benefits.

Omega-6 and omega-3 are both essential fats. The evidence suggests absolute intake matters more than ratios, and whole food sources behave differently from isolated supplements.

Hemp hearts are far more than just a source of essential fats. With 20-25% complete protein, exceptional mineral density, dietary fibre, and a natural vitamin E antioxidant system, they deliver a full nutritional package in a single whole food. Here’s what’s really inside that tiny seed.

Most plant oils deliver either omega-6 or omega-3 — rarely both. Hemp seed oil is the exception. At 80% total PUFA with abundant amounts of both essential fatty acids, plus pre-converted GLA and SDA, it outperforms every other easily sourced plant oil. And unlike other PUFA-rich oils, ours is heat stable to 190°C. One oil. Both essential fats. No mixing required.

How reductionist nutrition thinking led to the low-fat era and loss of adequate essential fats. Learn why both omega-6 and omega-3 from quality whole food sources matter.

Discover the fascinating ways your body uses essential fatty acids. From building flexible cell membranes to creating powerful eicosanoids that regulate healing and heartbeat, learn why omega-6 and omega-3 are critical building blocks for your family's health. Part 2 explores the science behind cardiovascular protection and cellular function.

Discover why your body cannot make two essential fatty acids crucial for optimal health. Learn the science behind linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, and why New Zealand families need these building blocks for preventing chronic disease. Part 1 of our Essential Fatty Acids 101 series.

Most people assume hemp seed oil belongs only in salad dressings — but what if that's wrong? We partnered with the University of Melbourne to put our hemp seed oil through rigorous heat testing, and the results are surprising: it's safe for oven cooking up to 190°C for an hour. Here's what we found.

Every time you feel pain, fight an infection, or form a blood clot, tiny molecules called eicosanoids are at work. Derived from essential fatty acids omega-6 and omega-3, these local hormones regulate some of the body’s most critical processes — and your diet directly influences how well they function. Here’s the science behind the health link.
