THC INDICA AND HEMP SATIVA
When we talk about hemp, cosmetics are not necessarily the first thing we think about… The so-called “recreational” THC, from its Latin name THCindica, is of the same family but remains a very distant cousin of the “industrial” or “pharmaceutical” hemp such as hemp Sativa used for hemp oil. Hemp Sativa used in cosmetics does not contain any psychotropic substance (THC). There is therefore no prohibition or contraindication to its use.
