Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Extract

Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Extract is derived from the aerial parts of industrial hemp plants and contains a broad spectrum of phytocannabinoids—most notably cannabidiol (CBD)—alongside terpenes, flavonoids, and minor cannabinoids such as CBG and CBC. The water-dispersible format is achieved through encapsulation or emulsification technology (often nanoemulsion or cyclodextrin complexation), making it compatible with aqueous cosmetic systems where raw hemp oil would otherwise be incompatible. Formulators choose this ingredient for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, its interaction with the skin's endocannabinoid receptors to support barrier function and reduce redness, and its growing consumer appeal in premium skincare and wellness-positioned products.
