CBD oil is being marketed in skincare products for everything from acne to wrinkles. But is any benefit possible, or is it just marketing hype? These are the CBD facts you need to know.
What Is CBD Oil?
CBD (also known as cannabidiol) is the non-intoxicating component of marijuana or hemp plants. CBD is extracted as a powder, and is typically mixed with an oil like olive, hemp, or coconut, all of which enhance application and effectiveness, hence the name “CBD oil”.
CBD oil in skincare won’t get you high because it doesn’t have the mind-altering properties of marijuana’s tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content. It’s extracted from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant, whose THC content is exceptionally low (often so low it cannot be detected by testing equipment).
It is also important to know that CBD oil is not the same thing as hemp seed oil, which is another great ingredient for skin. The two are often marketed interchangeably, but CBD oil is richly concentrated in cannabidiol, whereas hemp seed oil only contains trace amounts of cannabidiol, if any.
For products claiming to contain CBD, the FDA-regulated name that should be on the ingredient label is cannabidiol (this regulated labeling is called the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients—INCI). All other alternative names on ingredient labels, such as CBD-enriched hemp seed oil may or may not mean the product actually contains cannabidiol. Regardless, to be 100% certain you can always ask the company for their product’s specification, which is called an assay, or certificate of analysis (COA).
CBD for Acne-Prone Skin
Research has firmly established that acne is an inflammatory condition. Although multiple factors trigger acne, we know that anything you apply to skin that can reduce inflammation and help soothe skin (that's where CBD comes in) is likely to visibly reduce breakouts, especially acne-related redness.
Numerous studies have shown that CBD oil has anti-inflammatory benefits when applied to the skin. This makes CBD a suitable ingredient for acne-prone skin, while its calming benefits help reactive skin look and feel better.
Research also shows that CBD has the potential to decrease excess sebum (oil) production, possibly due to its balancing effect on the flow of skin’s oil.
Despite such encouraging news, most scientists studying CBD agree that more conclusive, scientific studies are needed to confirm these initial results.
CBD Oil for Wrinkles and Anti-Aging
Because it comes from a plant, it’s not surprising that CBD oil also has antioxidant properties. The antioxidants in CBD are one-way topical use that helps lessen the visible signs of aging. By counteracting free-radical damage and reducing the look of inflammation, CBD anti-aging creams visibly diminish issues like wrinkles, skin dullness, and ruddy skin tone.
Of course, there are plenty of other antioxidants out there that can make the same claims so CBD isn’t the only or “best” antioxidant to seek out; rather, it’s just one of many to consider, and the more of these ingredients you give to the skin, the better.
CBD Oil for Sensitive Skin
Another benefit of CBD oil is that it has been found to have significant soothing properties. Its substantial skin-calming and skin-normalizing effects can help minimize issues related to skin sensitivity, including redness and reactivity. Since all skin types are affected daily by environmental stressors, CBD’s soothing mechanism can help keep everyone’s skin in check.
The bottom line: As long as it’s extracted within the proper parameters, CBD oil does have benefits for the skin. We’re excited to see how the research behind CBD oil’s topical benefits continues to grow and anticipate it becoming a mainstay of many people’s skincare routines.
Perhaps it is time for you to try CBD for your skincare regime and protection!
