CBD is extracted from Cannabis, which is one of the most sustainable plants in existence and one of the most widely cultivated since ancient times. The fast-growing plant revitalizes the land on which it is grown, improving the quality of the soil.

For humans, CBD has numerous healing properties, and is already used in several treatments for different diseases. For the skin, the compound has excellent nutritional properties, which is why it is gaining more and more followers every day.

The benefits are many, among them:

• Wrinkles and skin aging. CBD has proven to be a powerful antioxidant. One of the biggest scavengers of free radicals and therefore very effective in protecting the skin against the harmful action they produce on it, visibly reducing the signs of aging such as wrinkles, dullness of the skin or a reddish and aging skin tone.

• Sensitive skin. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory action, it helps reduce and mitigate skin irritations and infections. Its significant calming and normalizing effects help minimize sensitivity-related problems, including redness and reactivity. Since all skin types are subject to multiple daily stresses caused by environmental stresses, the calming properties of CBD can be very beneficial for all skin types.

• Acne-prone skin. CBD is also recommended for acne-prone skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties and inflammatory problem, and while there are multiple factors that can trigger this imbalance in the skin, using products that can reduce inflammation helps to visibly reduce outbreaks, especially those with internal pimples accompanied by redness and often pain. Numerous studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory action of CBD which, along with its soothing properties, make it a highly recommended ingredient in the care and well-being of reactive and acne-prone skin. Research has also shown that CBD has the potential to reduce the excess sebum production typical of this skin type.

• Dry skin. CBD is a very moisturizing and nourishing active ingredient that regulates oil production, helping to maintain the hydrolipid balance in the epidermis, thus maintaining water levels and proper hydration. It helps seal moisture in the skin to protect it from external agents, and is high in essential fatty acids, rich in omega 3, 6, and 9, which defend the skin. It is also a natural source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is essential for preserving healthy skin and hair, since our body is not able to generate this type of fatty acid.
