Is Hemp Poison or Elixir? 
In recent years, the "Hemp Seed Oil" maintenance trend driven by Hollywood stars in Europe and the United States is different from the marijuana we generally know.
marijuana
It also belongs to the next cannabis species of Cannabis Sativa, which contains a high concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which can be called a secondary drug, which is easy to cause hallucinations and dependence.
Hemp Seed Oil
The ingredients extracted from Hemp are rich in Omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, which have extraordinary effects on soothing skin discomfort, strengthening and repairing skin, delaying skin aging, relieving dryness and building a barrier to resist external environmental damage.
From the above comparison, we can see that the ingredients contained in the two are not the same; hemp ≠ hemp seed oil.
Taiwan can be regarded as one of the few Asian countries that can introduce cannabis-based maintenance ingredients
The skin care products containing marijuana in circulation in Taiwan are all derived from hemp seed oil. Some of them are hemp seed oil, which has similar effects to olive oil for general skin care, and is far from the imagined "drug".
Taiwan regulations
CBD does not belong to drugs and controlled drugs. It is currently under the management of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and the use of drugs is legal (it is a general drug, not a drug).
Because it belongs to the category of drug use, it cannot be added in the notice of cosmetic regulations (no intentional addition). Therefore, there is no general sale in the Taiwan market.
If hemp seed oil is used as a raw material in cosmetics, the residual tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) contained in the final product shall not exceed 10ppm.
