Frequently Asked Questions

Hemp and marijuana are names used for different types of cannabis plant. Industrial hemp is grown under licence for uses such as seed, oil and fibre, and is bred to have very low THC levels. THC is the cannabinoid associated with a psychoactive effect. Our hemp foods and clothing are everyday products; they are not medicinal or recreational cannabis. You can read more about our own growing work on our Hemp Farming page.

No. Hemp seed oil is pressed from the seed and used as a food ingredient or in skincare. CBD products contain cannabidiol obtained from other parts of the cannabis plant or through other regulated production processes. Hemp seeds do not naturally produce CBD or THC, although minute residues can occur during harvesting and processing. A bottle labelled hemp seed oil should not be assumed to contain CBD or to provide the effects of a medicinal cannabis product.

No, hemp seed foods are not intoxicating, and eating compliant low-THC hemp foods in normal food amounts is not expected to cause a positive drug test. Food Standards Australia New Zealand assessed this question when reviewing hemp foods: it found a positive urine test unlikely and concluded that a positive roadside saliva test was also unlikely. Our hemp seeds, protein and seed oil are sold as food, not as medicinal or recreational cannabis products.

We do get asked! No: fabric made from hemp stalk fibre is for wearing, not smoking. If the question behind the question is whether hemp clothing feels rough, our guide to how hemp clothing feels is a much better place to start.

Yes. Low-THC hemp seed foods have been permitted for sale as food in Australia since 2017, subject to food standards. This includes products such as hulled hemp seeds, hemp seed oil and hemp protein. It does not mean every part of a cannabis plant is an approved food. Explore our hemp food range to see the ingredients we stock.

Sprinkle hulled hemp seeds on breakfast, salads or roasted vegetables. Blend hemp protein into smoothies or use it in baking. Add cold-pressed hemp seed oil to dressings and dips, or drizzle it over a finished meal. Each has a different job in the kitchen: see our hemp food guide and recipes for ideas.

We recommend using our cold-pressed hemp seed oil as a dressing or finishing oil rather than for high-heat frying. Heat can affect its delicate flavour and fatty-acid profile. Keep the bottle sealed and follow its storage instructions; refrigeration after opening helps preserve freshness.

Yes. Hemp is naturally gluten free, and our hemp food range is gluten free, including hulled hemp seeds, hemp protein powder, hemp flour and hemp seed oil. You can explore the range in our hemp food guide or ask us about a particular product.

Our everyday range currently pairs Australian-grown hemp seed oil with Canadian hulled hemp seeds and protein powder. Country of origin can differ by product and batch, so the product listing and pack label are the best place to check a specific item. We are also licensed industrial hemp growers working to strengthen Australian supply.

Yes. We offer ready-to-order 20 kg cartons of selected hemp seeds, protein and flour, plus 20 L hemp seed oil, with larger supply enquiries welcome. Bulk freight is calculated separately from standard parcel shipping. See Bulk Hemp Foods for formats and Shipping Options for delivery details.

It depends on the weave, fabric weight and fibre blend. Pure woven hemp can begin crisp and linen-like, then relax with wear and washing. A hemp/cotton tee often feels familiar straight away, while a hemp/Tencel piece can feel softer and more fluid. Our feel and fabric guide walks through the differences.

No. We stock pure hemp alongside hemp blends and bamboo clothing. Blending changes how a garment drapes, stretches and feels against the skin; the fibre percentages are listed on individual product pages. Our pure hemp versus blends guide and hemp versus bamboo guide can help you choose.

We are an Australian family business, but our clothing is not all Australian made. We work with a range of brands and suppliers, and many hemp textiles and garments are produced in China, which has a long history of hemp textile production. Origin and manufacturing arrangements vary by item; if you need the country of manufacture for a particular garment, ask us before ordering and we will check.

Hemp has plenty going for it. It grows quickly and produces a strong, breathable fibre with a beautiful natural texture. A well-made hemp shirt can soften with wear and become the piece you reach for year after year. How any garment is grown, processed and dyed still matters, which is why we look beyond the fibre label to clothes you will genuinely love wearing and keeping. Explore our clothing and fabric guides for a closer look.

Because it feels wonderful on dry, sensitive skin. Rich in fatty acids, hemp seed oil gives our creams and balms their nourishing feel. Our fragrance-free Hemp Healing Balm is a favourite when skin needs simple, lasting moisture: it softens rough patches and helps skin feel comfortable and cared for. There is a personal reason we began making skincare this way. Our founder, Darius, first explored hemp while looking for gentler care for his son’s eczema-prone skin. Read the story behind Made In Hemp, or explore our Australian skincare range.

Our own Made In Hemp skincare range is formulated and made at our Long Jetty premises. We also stock products from other makers, including hair care, so manufacturing location and ingredients differ across the wider Body & Hair Care collection. Check each product listing for its ingredients and brand.

Our Made In Hemp products are not tested on animals. Many formulas are vegan, but some, including our Healing Balm and Lip Balm, contain beeswax. We also carry other brands, so please check the individual ingredient list and any vegan or cruelty-free information for the exact product you are considering. If an ingredient matters to you, get in touch and we can help you check.
