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 properties. Cannabis is one such plant. It is partly composed of THC and CBD.
The CBD molecule exhibits several effects on the skin. It enhances its quality by eliminating blemishes, soothing inflammations, regulating the overproduction of sebum, and reducing pore blockage.
How to choose CBD?
The cannabidiol (CBD) is renowned for its therapeutic properties. This molecule is used in numerous products designed to combat skin issues or to prevent certain diseases. You can rely on the following elements to determine the type of CBD to prioritise.
The Origin: Even though there is a variety of CBD-based products, not all of them are good for consumption. European standards stipulate that only CBD extracted from plants sourced from industrial or organic farming is classified as "pure".
The product's composition: it is essential 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 determine 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: 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.
