CBD Oil: The Beauty Trend That’s Here to Stay

Cannabidiol (CBD) oils have become increasingly popular in the health and beauty industry. This isn’t just a trend – it is here to stay, and here’s everything you need to know!

What is CBD?

CBD is a cannabinoild, a type of compound found in cannabis (marijuana). However, it does not contain THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is what gives you the mind-altering ‘special’ feeling.

The reason it’s taking over the skincare world is because CBD is known to be an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties. This means that it can be effective in calming irritated skin, reducing redness, and lessen signs of ageing. CBD oil also boasts health benefits, including to help with anxiety and pain management.

CBD Oil vs Hemp Oil

It’s important to distinguish between CBD with HempOil as they are often quite vague. The difference lies in the way they are extracted. Hemp oil has been around for a long time in skincare and originates from cold pressing the seeds of the hemp plant, however the seeds themselves do not contain cannabinoids. CBD on the other hand is extracted from the flower and leaves, which is rich in cannabinoids.

So, research is important when shopping for CBD! Hemp seed oil is merely for hydration and does not contain any active ingredients or notable anti-inflammatory benefits.
