What you Should Know About CBD Products in Your Skincare Routine?

If you regularly buy skincare products, you will find CBD added to skin creams, body oils, cosmetic serums, face masks, and eye serums. In fact, CBD can be found in all of the products you typically use in your skincare routine. If you are interested in this newly discovered ‘medicinal’ compound and are considering using CBD in your daily skincare routine, this article will give you all the answers you need to make an informed decision.

CBD stands for cannabidiol and is one of 113 cannabinoids that come from cannabis. Zcann® Organics uses CBD isolate in all of its products and CBD isolate is 99% pure, meaning it contains no other cannabinoids, including THC, the cannabinoid in cannabis that gets you “high”. As a pure extract, CBD isolate is a white crystalline substance at room temperature, tasteless and odorless.

How to incorporate CBD into your beauty regime 

Given the many natural benefits of CBD, it seems only logical to incorporate products containing CBD into your daily beauty regimen. Zcann® Organics offers a range of CBD-based beauty, health and wellness products that have been developed by a team of scientists, pharmacists and chemists. CBD isolate products undergo several years of research and development before they are put into production. During this time, our products undergo continuous testing to ensure their safety and efficacy.

What are the capacities of CBD?

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the body in a wide and varied way, meaning it has more than one pharmacological purpose.The ECS is made up of three main components:

1) Endocannabinoids

2) Cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 

3) Enzymes

It interacts with all body systems to maintain homeostasis. When a problem is detected in the body, the ECS sends a signal to activate the appropriate mechanisms and works to correct it.  

We know our skin

The skin is the biggest organ in our body. It contains a network of nerve and receptor cells and is part of the ECS. In fact, the skin has the highest concentration of CB2 receptor cells, which are primarily responsible for the functioning of the autoimmune system. The skin is also the first line of defense against injury and infection. It is responsible for regulating temperature and protecting the body from the adverse effects of the environment. The ECS receptors in the skin play a key role in both healthy and diseased skin, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects.

Benefits of CBD for skincare

Studies have shown that CBD is an extremely powerful antioxidant that helps to keep skin healthy and smooth. In addition, CBD is rich in vitamin E, which rejuvenates the skin, prevents the appearance of fine lines and fights skin discoloration. Consistent application of CBD to the skin can improve the condition and appearance of the skin.

Antimicrobial protection

The skin itself is an effective defence against microbial invasion. Adding CBD to your skin care routine or cosmetics can provide immunity against microbial invasion. It forms a protective layer on the skin, providing additional protection against microbial invasion.

Remedy for skin defects

The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD have been successfully studied in the control and treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne, atopic dermatitis and seborrhoeic dermatitis. In addition, it has been shown to reduce sebum production by sebocytes and inhibit skin cell proliferation.
