Why incorporate CBD?
The skin is composed of three layers, namely the hypodermis, the dermis, and the epidermis. Dysfunction in any of these layers disrupts skin health. To address skin problems, there are numerous solutions such as the use of plants with therapeutic virtues. Cannabis is one of them. It is partly composed of THC and CBD.
The CBD molecule has several effects on the skin. It helps to improve its quality by eliminating blemishes, calming inflammation, regulating overproduction of sebum, and reducing pore obstruction.
How to choose CBD?
The cannabidiol (CBD) is known for its therapeutic properties. This molecule is used in many products designed to combat skin problems or to prevent certain diseases. You can rely on the following elements to determine the type of CBD to prioritize.
The Origin: Even though there is a variety of CBD-based products, not all of them are good for consumption. European standards define that only CBD extracted from plants originating from industrial or organic farming is qualified as "pure".
The product's composition: it is imperative to check the composition of the CBD when making your choice. The law requires that the ingredients used for products made from this molecule be displayed. Checking the product's components also allows you to know their quality.
THC Content: The dosage of this molecule should be considered when choosing CBD. It should be noted that THC is a component that presents the psychoactive effects of cannabis. In France, the law allows the sale and consumption of CBD-based products with a THC level of 0.2% or less.
Extraction Process: The supercritical CO2 extraction involves passing a flow of CO2 through the plant material. This is subjected to high pressure and low temperature. The hemp molecules are extracted before they move into another chamber.
