Hemp oil and CBD oil are the same thingβ¦ right? Weβre here to debunk thatΒ myth. Find out why theyβre completely different, plus how they can give one other a boost in our complete hemp oil guideβ¦
What is Hemp Oil?
Also known as hemp seed oil, hemp oil is extracted from β you guessed it β the seeds of hemp plants. Itβs a buzz-worthy ingredient that can be taken solo or combined with other health-boosting heroes. Sprinkle it on food, add it to a drink or take it sublingually (underneath your tongue). It can even be applied onto skin as a hardy hydrator that soothes a dry complexion.
What is CBD?
CBD is a safe and natural food supplement that has grown in popularity hugely in recent years. Itβs a natural compound found in hemp plants and is associated with the positive properties of hemp and none of the more negative effects that can cause intoxicating or psychoactive effects.

What is CBD Oil?

So, what exactly is CBD oil? CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the hemp plant, usually through a process that keeps all the good stuff intact. Then, itβs blended with a carrier oilβthink coconut or hemp seed oilβmaking it super easy for your body to absorb.
What makes CBD oil so appealing is that it contains positive properties of hemp, like support for relaxation and relief from discomfort, without the mind-altering side effects. So, whether youβre looking to unwind after a long day or just want to support your overall wellness, CBD oil offers a natural option that many find beneficial. Itβs no wonder itβs become a go-to for so many people!
Is Hemp Oil the Same As CBD Oil?
Donβt go thinkingΒ CBD oilsΒ and hemp oils are the same. While theyβre both sourced from hemp plants, CBD comes from the flowers, while, as we mentioned, hemp oil is extracted from the seeds. In short, theyβre two very different substances with two very different purposes.
Does Hemp Oil Contain CBD?
Unless itβs been specifically incorporated, hemp oil or hemp seed oil typically doesnβt contain CBD, and vice versa. To maximise the benefits of cannabidiol, we recommend opting for a specialised CBD and hemp oil blend, such as our Night Time CBD Oil Drops, which features organic hemp seed oil included as a powerful secondary supercharger for enhanced efficacy. This combination ensures that you receive the full spectrum of beneficial compounds for a more balanced and restorative experience.

How Does Hemp Oil Boost CBD?
If youβre wondering how hemp oil boosts the efficacy of CBD, you need to first understand βbioavailabilityβ.Β What is bioavailability, you ask? Itβs the rate at which CBD absorbs in your body. The higher the bioavailability is, the more absorbent your tincture will be.
Now, a CBD extract isnβt easily absorbed by your body on its own. Thatβs why it's blended with other ingredients in ourΒ CBD CapsulesΒ andΒ CBD GummiesΒ or mixed with supercharged carrier oils. The raw extract is fat-soluble, which means it dissolves in fat rather than water. For this reason, it needs to be mixed with a fat-soluble oil, which will carry it into the proper tissues. Hemp oil is one such oil thatβs able to make CBD more accessible by your body.
However, at Cannaray, our go-to carrier oil is coconut oil, which youβll find in each of ourΒ CBD Oil DropsΒ formulas β from Bright Days to Night Time. This is because itβs packed with medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), which means it rapidly breaks down and absorbs into the body compared to its long-chain triglycerides counterparts β plus, it tastes delicious too.
So, How Shall I Try Hemp Oil?
To make ourΒ Night Time CBD Oil DropsΒ even more effective, weβve combined our signature coconut carrier oil with organic hemp seed oil, which bumps up the bioavailability. That means, if you want to reap the benefits of hemp oil, this pepperminty tincture is your new must-have. Try the trial-size 10ml bottle for a taste, or go all in with our 30ml blend.
