What are CBD cosmetics?

CBD cosmetics are creams, oils and gels created from the union of CBD and other natural plants, such as: ginger, turmeric, rosemary, etc.

The benefits of CBD to the skin are countless and we have creams and gels for all occasions and moementos.

As an antioxidant

It is known to fight 'free radicals'. While they may sound funny, 'free radicals' are actually harmful. They cause damage to cells, proteins and DNA and are also strongly linked to ageing. Free radicals, or oxidative stress, are caused by exposure to toxins, the types of toxins that occur in everyday life, such as pollution, food, alcohol and cigarette smoke. But, while they are harmful, they are also part of life - some would even say they are essential for life and cannot be avoided. However, antioxidants fight these free radicals and help prevent the damage they can cause.

Anti-inflammatory

The human body often reacts to injury or an invasion of toxins with an inflammatory response. This response can often cause redness, swelling, heat or pain. If the cause of the inflammation is not resolved, the inflammation begins to damage the body's tissues and cells. Therefore, ingredients that provide anti-inflammatory properties can help prevent or reduce both the symptoms and damage caused by inflammation. CBD is an effective anti-inflammatory.

Anti-seborrhoeic

Not just another difficult word to pronounce, but another recognised function of CBD. Simply put, it means that it helps prevent or alleviate excessive sebum secretion. Sebum, an oily substance, is our skin's natural moisturising agent, but too much of it can cause skin problems such as dermatitis and acne. Anti-sebum ingredients such as CBD work to balance the skin's moisture and natural oil levels.

Skin conditioning

Which means it works to improve appearance, keeping skin soft, smooth, supple and healthy looking. CBD is a recognised skin conditioning agent.
