The various skincare products containing CBD in their formulation.
The cannabidiol (CBD) is an active substance that is part of the hundreds of cannabinoids present in hemp. Unlike Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is considered responsible for the intoxicating effects of cannabis, CBD has no psychotropic effects, allowing it to be used in cosmetics. Numerous anecdotal results testify to the effects of CBD, which, in some cases, have been supported by research findings. Antioxidant, anti-sebum, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties have been attributed to it, in addition to having therapeutic virtues.
Since 2019, the CBD segment has been experiencing significant growth in general, and this is also true in the cosmetic industry. It has become a booming natural ingredient, being incorporated into the development of various skincare lines due to its numerous properties. Indeed, studies have revealed its effectiveness in addressing certain issues, although it can be suitable for all skin and hair types.
Anti-Blemish Care : The sebostatic and anti-inflammatory action of CBD makes it an ideal ingredient for improving the appearance of blemish-prone skin. Lotion, serum, cleanser, cream... it has interesting uses for reducing various imperfections (pimples, blackheads, etc.), as well as preventing their occurrence.
Hair Care: Just like the skin, the scalp is daily subjected to various aggressors (stress, seasonal changes, unbalanced diet, unsuitable care, etc.). CBD is also making its way into hair care products with its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, and can be found in shampoos or hair oils. When used daily, it can help calm inflammation in irritated scalps or "purify" oily scalps with its sebum-regulating properties, thereby restoring the skin's natural functions.
Skincare for Sensitive Skin: CBD molecules also possess anti-inflammatory properties, which are a boon for weakened and reactive skin. It is effective in soothing irritations and reducing all types of redness. Indeed, sensitive skin, being more fragile, triggers an inflammatory-type reaction upon contact with an allergen, causing the appearance of redness.
Pain Relief Care: With its analgesic action, CBD in the form of balm, cream, or oil can be used topically in massage to alleviate certain types of acute or chronic inflammatory pain (joint pain, muscle soreness, back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, etc.), relieve tension, relax muscles, and calm the nervous system through targeted application to the affected area. Specifically, CBD works by blocking nociceptive perceptions generated.
Typology skincare products with CBD.
Due to their numerous benefits for the skin, we offer you a range of two cosmetic products with CBD (INCI: Cannabidiol) that are 100% natural, fragrance-free, and essential oil-free, made in France and certified COSMOS Natural.
Soothing Night Serum
Type of CBD: CBD crystals or isolate, the molecular and pure form (without THC).
Dosage: 650 mg of CBD (5%).
Skin type: All skin types, particularly sensitive, weakened, and redness-prone skin.
How to use: In the evening, on clean and dry skin, apply a few drops of the night oil serum to the entire face and neck using circular motions.
With its dry oil texture, CBD is present in large quantities (5%) in our botanical blend for topical application. It also contains a fatty base of five plant extracts rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins: including sesame oil (INCI: Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil),hemp oil (INCI: Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil),black cumin seed oil (INCI: Nigella Sativa Seed Oil), green tea extract (INCI: Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract), and calendula oil macerate (INCI: Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract). When applied locally, this CBD night oil reduces inflammation that causes various types of redness and helps stimulate skin regeneration, while maintaining optimal hydration levels. The skin then regains comfort, calmness, and softness by the next morning.
Soothing Mask-Ointment
Type of CBD: CBD crystals or isolate, the molecular and pure form (without THC).
Dosage: 240 mg of CBD (0.5%).
Skin type: All skin types, particularly sensitive, fragile, uncomfortable, dry, and redness-prone skin.
Directions for use: Apply a small amount of the mask in a semi-thick layer on clean, dry facial skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Upon contact with water, the substance transforms into a milky texture to facilitate rinsing. Use once or twice a week.
Our mask offers the skin a unique care ritual. It is specifically formulated to soothe the skin from discomfort while strengthening the epidermal barrier to protect it from external aggressors and irritants. Indeed, through its hydrating and soothing actions, its flexible and enveloping oil-in-gel texture seals in skin hydration, providing an immediate comforting and refreshing effect.
This mask is primarily composed of CBD derived from hemp leaves, bisabolol of natural origin known for its anti-inflammatory properties, olive squalane for its replenishing effect, and a blend of vegetable oils, including hemp seed oil and vanilla macerate oil (INCI: Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract) rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins. The skin is durably hydrated and soothed, regaining softness and suppleness.
