Canna Cosmetics
There is evidence supporting CBD as an anti-inflammatory for the skin and as a soothing agent for the scalp. However, when it comes to research focused on the beauty industry, there have been no significant studies to date. It is agreed that most CBD benefits come from ingestion rather than topical application. But that hasn't stopped cosmetic brands from using it in every product you can think of. How much is down to evidence, though? and how much is it down to CBD being a new "buzz" substance in health and wellness culture.
Here are some examples of the kind of cosmetic and beauty products that you can find CBD in.
Acne
CBD may not clear up blemishes, but its potential anti-inflammatory abilities certainly couldn't hurt. Use it as an "on the spot" treatment or on your entire face to help exfoliate without overdrying. It's especially promising when paired with salicylic acid, one of the most advised acne-eliminating components.
Eye cream
Eye creams lessen the look of fine lines while firming and moisturizing. However, another primary purpose that anyone with sensitive eye-area skin will appreciate is subduing and deterring irritation. In addition to CBD, ingredients will probably include vitamin E, calendula and bisabolol.
Night Mask
CBD is a great calming ingredient, so it's a no-brainer that it would end up in a rich night cream. It mixes perfectly with other fashionable elements, including niacinamide, to soothe and protect—Green for added antioxidant effect and Manuka honey to comfort skin and helps it retain moisture.
Deodorant
Many people are switching to natural deodorants because they find the aluminium in antiperspirants irritating. Therefore, adding potentially anti-inflammatory ingredients such as CBD only makes sense to prevent this irritation. Natural deodorants also use natural plant-based odour stoppers such as coconut oil to leave you confident and comfortable.
Face Oil
Some of these skin care oils have as much as 50 per cent hemp seed oil, alongside super ingredients such as argan oil. With argan oil's unbeatable moisture and hemp oil's abundant omega fatty acids, your skin will look and feel bouncy and glowing starting from use one.
Mouth wash
CBD Mouthwash features not only CBD but also other mild organic antibacterials such as aloe and tea tree oil. Ultimately it gives you fresh breath and tip-top mouth hygiene.
Colour Corrector
CBD is an excellent ingredient in colour-correcting makeup bases. This is thought to be due to its calming and soothing qualities that will calm redness and give balance to your face. They are also good at neutralizing dark circles.
Scalp Calming Hair Mask
Perfect for those with dry skin conditions like eczema and dandruff, CBD Calming and Hydrating scalp Masks will soothe and replenish a dry, irritated scalp and benefit your hair. The cannabinoid is combined with some of the other most sought-after organic natural ingredients, such as avocado oil, shea butter, and coconut oil. Just 5 minutes, and your hair and the scalp will feel renewed.
Lipgloss
CBD can be found in numerous lip balms and glosses thanks to its antioxidants and the gorgeous formula it creates alongside ingredients such as collagen and line-plumping hyaluronic acid.
CBD Mascara
Mascara is made with CBD-rich cannabis oil. It makes for a thick glossy formula that glides on and will not irritate even the most sensitive eyes.
