Analysis

A serving provides 8 g of linoleic acid, 420 mg of GLA, 2 g of alpha-linolenic acid, and 140 mg of stearidonic acid. The combination gives broad fatty-acid coverage rather than concentrating on one pathway.

Organic sourcing distinguishes it from the otherwise similar standard version. The label does not state the pressing method or antioxidant protection, both relevant to a polyunsaturated oil.

Thirty-three servings offer a more practical supply than the smaller bottle while preserving favorable value. It fits users who specifically care about organic sourcing and liquid delivery.

Who is it for
  • Adults seeking organic hemp oil
  • Users interested in skin-barrier fatty acids
  • People who prefer liquid plant oils
Best for
  • Organic fatty-acid supplementation
  • Broad GLA, LA, and ALA intake
  • Skin-focused lipid nutrition

Pros

  • Organic source
  • 420 mg GLA and 8 g linoleic acid
  • All major fatty acids are quantified

Cons

  • Pressing method is not stated
  • No antioxidant protection is listed
  • Bulk oil requires careful routine handling

Nutrient quality

87 Highest impact

Organic hemp oil supplies substantial amounts of GLA, linoleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid. Organic sourcing adds useful assurance, but extraction and antioxidant-stability details remain absent.

Ingredient transparency

80 Highest impact

Listed active ingredients have specific amounts and no proprietary blend hides their doses. Complete intake directions and a full non-active ingredient list are not supplied.

Customer satisfaction

71 High impact

The supplied aggregate rating is strong and rests on a substantial sample. No specific feedback is provided, so repeated complaints and real-world fit with the intended purpose cannot be assessed.

Value for money

87 Highest impact

The effective serving offers good value relative to formula and dose quality. A focused ingredient list supports efficient spending.

Gamma Linolenic Acid · 420 mg

The organic hemp oil supplies a substantial amount of gamma-linolenic acid, a precursor to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Alpha-linolenic and stearidonic acids add related fatty-acid pathways, giving the oil broader coverage than isolated GLA alone.

The fatty-acid amounts are clearly stated, but hemp is a relatively dilute GLA source and the label omits extraction and antioxidant-stability details. A large linoleic-acid load accompanies the useful GLA amount, so the formula is potent but not especially concentrated for the target pathway.

Gamma Linolenic Acid · 420 mg

Gamma-linolenic acid and other polyunsaturated fats directly support skin-barrier lipid nutrition. Human evidence supports essential fatty acids for dry or barrier-impaired skin, though hemp oil is less studied than targeted GLA oils.

The gamma-linolenic acid amount is substantial and the broader fatty-acid profile is clearly quantified. Active amounts are transparent, but extraction method and antioxidant protection are not disclosed.

Report overview
Linoleic Acid · 8000 mg OverallScore74
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value

The organic hemp oil supplies a high amount of clearly disclosed linoleic acid in each serving. Its organic source and bulk liquid format pair strong dose delivery with very favorable cost efficiency. No antioxidant protection or specific pressing method is listed, which leaves some quality and storage uncertainty.

Gamma Linolenic Acid · 420 mg OverallScore72
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value

Organic hemp oil provides a clearly disclosed 420 mg of gamma-linolenic acid per serving, giving it substantial potency for this collection. Hemp remains a naturally low-concentration GLA source, while extraction and antioxidant protection details are absent. The high active amount still supports highly favorable value per unit of GLA.
