I was going by Wikipedia defin: they say hemp oil is the same as hempseed oil.
And the jar uses term of "hemp extract" , 80 mg. That may or may not be CBD?? If it is CBD, why don't they state it as such instead of fuzzy "hemp extract?
I have emailed them as they never use "CBD" anywhere in their product info and specs so it makes me wonder...
Will post tje answer from them

Hemp oil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- hemp oil or hempseed oil is obtained by pressing hemp seed
Let us know if they reply to your inquiry. I'm a firm believer of getting info direct from the source.
I think this may help clear up
What is Hemp Oil?
The term hemp oil can be used to describe any and all oil that is extracted from any part of the
hemp plant. Hemp oil can be made from the plant’s stalks, flowers, and seeds.
All hemp oils are derived from the hemp plant, but there are different types depending on which part of the plant they’re extracted from and their purpose. Generally, there are three different types of hemp oil:
- CBD oil
- Hemp seed oil
- Hemp essential oil
HEMP SEED OIL
Hemp seed oil is significantly different from CBD oil. It’s produced by cold pressing hemp seeds, which alone lack any substantial levels of cannabinoids like CBD. As a result, hemp seed oil contains only trace amounts of CBD – typically less than 25 parts per million.
Like CBD oil, hemp seed oil is abundant in essential amino acids, fatty acids, and an array of vitamins and minerals. It has a thinner consistency and can be used as a substitute for traditional cooking oils with the exception of deep-frying. Hemp seed oil is typically found in grocery and health food markets.
While hemp seed oil is very nutritious, its marginal quantity of CBD per weight make its unfeasible as a CBD supplement.
CBD OIL
CBD oil, often times called
hemp CBD oil or phytocannabinoid hemp oil, is a thick, viscous oil made from the stalks and seeds of hemp that is naturally high in CBD. CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the more than 100 cannabinoids found in cannabis.
Highly sought after in recent years, CBD is a
non-psychoactive and
non-addictive compound that interacts with the body through theendocannabinoid system, a signaling network that regulates many of the body’s functions. CBD oil also contains the many essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, terpenes, and flavonoids found in hemp.
A specialized solvent-free extraction process is used to pull the CBD-rich oil from the plant, which is then taken on its own as a
daily supplement or infused into products like
liquids, tinctures, capsules, and topicals.
HEMP ESSENTIAL OIL
Hemp essential oil is collected and infused into products for aromatic purposes. It is obtained by steam distilling the flowers and upper leaves of hemp, which collects the
plant’s fragrant oils.
Expensive and inefficient to produce, hemp essential contains no CBD or any other cannabinoids. Instead, the pale yellow oil is used solely as a scent in candles, perfumes, cosmetics, and soaps, or flavoring in foods and beverages.
As to why some companies may not be labeling cbd:
Many states have already deemed hemp-derived CBD oil a legal and safe product due to its harmless medicinal affects and overall separation from THC-based marijuana, but last week's DEA decision does not make that distinction.
