Cannabidiol (CBD)

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid isolated from Cannabis sativa L. hemp, where it is one of over 100 identified cannabinoids. As a broad-spectrum distillate, it retains complementary minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that contribute to an 'entourage effect,' potentially enhancing its antioxidant and skin-soothing performance compared to CBD isolate. Formulators choose it for its interaction with the skin's endocannabinoid receptors, its ability to help modulate sebum production, and its strong free-radical scavenging capacity, making it particularly sought after in anti-aging, sensitive-skin, and complexion-balancing formulations.
