<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Hemp oil''' is from the seed of the [[hemp]] plant that contains between 25-35% oil by weight, which is high in [[essential fatty acid]]s. [[Cold-pressed]], unrefined hemp oil is light green, with a nutty, grassy flavour. <br />
<br />
Refined hemp oil is clear with little flavour. It is widely used in body care products, [[lubricant]]s, [[paint]]s and industrial uses. <br />
Antimicrobial properties make it a useful ingredient for [[soap]]s, [[shampoo]]s and [[detergent]]s. The oil is of high nutritional value because its 3:1 ratio of [[omega-6]] to [[omega-3]] [[essential fatty acid]]s matches the balance required by the human body.<ref>{{cite web<br />

Hemp oil is deliberately manufactured to contain no significant amounts of [[Tetrahydrocannabinol|THC]] and is therefore not a [[psychoactive drug]].<br />
