Hemp Seed Oil x Hemp Extract: What’s the Real Difference for Skin and Pets?

If you’ve been shopping for hemp-based products - for your pet or yourself- you’ve probably come across two ingredients that sound similar but do very different things: hemp seed oil and hemp extract.

Let’s clear the air and explore why you and your pet both deserve more than just hemp seed oil.

Hemp Seed Oil: Nutrient-Rich Moisture

Hemp seed oil is made by cold-pressing the seeds of the hemp plant. It’s a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which makes it a great moisturiser and nutritional supplement.

For Skin:

Helps maintain skin hydration

Supports a soft, smooth texture

Great for dry or flaky skin

For Pets:

Can promote a shinier coat

May help with mild skin dryness or itchiness

Adds healthy fats to their diet

But here’s what it doesn’t do:

Hemp seed oil contains zero cannabinoids. That means it doesn’t interact with your Endocannabinoid System (ECS) - the system that helps regulate everything from inflammation to mood to skin repair.

Hemp Extract: Deep Support for Skin & Pets

Hemp extract is made from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant where cannabinoids like CBD live. These natural compounds interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors in your body and skin - part of the ECS, which plays a key role in calming inflammation, supporting repair, easing stress and helping the body find balance.

For Skin:

Soothes redness and flare-ups

Strengthens the skin’s natural defences

Locks in moisture, keeps irritants out

Supports long-term skin balance and resilience

That’s why we created Cannafox Daily Repair Cream - with full-spectrum hemp extract to do more than just moisturise. It supports your skin’s ability to calm, recover and deeply restore from within.

For Pets:

Eases anxiety and stress by working with your pet’s ECS

Supports joint comfort and smooth mobility

Helps with aging-related cognitive decline

Promotes calm during high-stress moments like travel or separation

Extract First. Seed Where It Counts.

At Cannafox, we specialise in hemp extract - the powerful compounds drawn from the flower and leaf of the hemp plant.

Extract = Deeper therapeutic support

Seed oil = Light nutrition and moisture

While both have their place, hemp extract is where the real magic happens - calming inflammation, supporting the ECS and helping skin and pets feel their best.

At Cannafox, we focus on hemp extract, where the benefits and results are strongest. Inside every Cannafox product, it’s the extract doing the heavy lifting - for your skin and your furry ones too.
