CBD, derived from the cannabis plant possesses no psychoactive properties and has been shown to improve symptoms of several conditions. It is often used as a supplement to address inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, due to its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

What does CBD do for the skin?
In skin care products, CBD can work to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and other skin texture concerns. Its soothing properties also make it useful in addressing redness and skin sensitivity. As it is a strong antioxidant, it may also be useful in protecting the skin barrier against harmful free radicals and environmental pollution.
CBD for skin inflammation
CBD may be particularly useful in soothing flare-ups from acne, eczema, and other skin concerns related to inflammation. The body has several studied CBD receptors, so when CBD products are applied topically, we can absorb their anti-inflammatory effects.
Helps relieve skin diseases
It is thought that CBD may act on the body’s interleukins, which are part of the immune system response that causes inflammatory effects at the onset of infections or irritation. By suppressing this response, CBD may work to soothe certain skin diseases and provide a smoother, less irritated complexion.
