CBD & CBG
The fantastic
CBD
Three key features:
1. Stabilizes the skin's oil production
2. Reduces inflammation
3. Moisturizes dry skin
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a substance extracted from the plant – Cannabis Sativa. CBD has no intoxicating effect, i.e. you cannot get "high" from CBD.
CBD, together with other cannabinoids, has been used as a health supplement for more than 5000 years. It has a direct effect on the skin's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which controls all the functions of your skin. A balanced ECS is critical to achieving optimal skin health.
CBD is an incredibly effective ingredient in skin care thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. While research into CBD continues, we already have the below evidence for this knowledge. Here it is described how the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of CBD affect the body's largest organs.
1. Regulates the production of sebum. An overproduction of sebum is believed to be a contributing factor to the onset of acne. A study from 2014 showed that CBD can have an anti-inflammatory effect on sebocytes, the cell that produces sebum.
2. Anti-inflammatory. Through its anti-inflammatory properties, CBD can reduce redness and irritation.
3. Moisturizes dry skin. New research indicates that CBD is effective in moisturizing the skin.
The effect of CBD oil occurs when cannabidiol binds with receptors in the skin's endocannabinoid system - a complex biological network that regulates many of the most important functions and responses in our skin. The endocannabinoid system in particular plays an important role in managing inflammation.
The two dominant causes of aging skin and problem skin are:
1. Free radical damage to the epidermis (top skin layer).
2. The endocannabinoid system is a complex combination of cell receptors that take care of several important functions In the skin. These include, among other things, sebum production and the function of melanocytes.
THE OUTSTANDING
CBG
Three key features:
1. Anti-bacterial
2. Anti-inflammatory
3. Antioxidant
WHAT IS CBG?
Cannabigerol (CBG) has been called "the mother of all cannabinoids" because it is the first cannabinoid that is formed in the cannabis plant (including CBD).
Cannabigerol (CBG) has many beneficial functions for your skin. CBG is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant.
The natural occurrence of our endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the body is responsible for keeping it in balance. When it comes to your skin, ECS helps keep it healthy. CBG works together with the endocannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, which are found in the skin.
When CBG is applied to the skin (epidermis), the risk of inflammation is reduced, sebum production is improved and cell renewal is balanced.
Summary CBG:
- Works together with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in our endocannabinoid system
- Penetrates the basal and subcutaneous layers
- Counteracts inflammation- Helps with cell renewal and sebum production.
