WHY YOUR SKIN LOVES HEMP
BALANCE BEGINS IN THE CELLS.
WE BELIEVE CBD
IS ALL-HEALING.
UNPARALLELED IN THE PLANT KINGDOM
There's a reason we utilize hemp-derived full-spectrum CBD as an integral ingredient in our self-care collection. It's downright packed with a variety of therapeutic properties that nourish the mind, body, and soul. How? CBD works at the cellular level to restore your inner balance and well-being through the endocannabinoid system (ECS), otherwise known as the body's "universal regulator."
​
What's more—in addition to being a powerful anti-inflammatory, CBD is also a super-charged antioxidant with youth-restoring properties that make it ideal for revitalizing your skin.
CBD PUTS RELIEF WITHIN REACH
BORN TO BE WILDLY MEDICINAL.
NATURALLY SUPERIOR RELIEF
CBD provides a possible low-risk, high-reward treatment for inflammation. Some of the most recent findings are highlighted below:
​
Arthritis: A 2016 study found that, after applying CBD gel for four days in a row, there was reduced inflammation and overall pain in the affected joints. Another 2017 study published in the Pain journal found that treatment with CBD topicals reduced the development of joint pain in rats with osteoarthritis.
​
Chronic Pain: A 2015 review published in Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry discussed the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD. The reviewers found that CBD reduces inflammation through several pathways in the body, and represents an effective potential treatment for a range of conditions characterized by inflammation.
​
Eczema and Psoriasis: A 2017 study published online in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, concludes that pharmaceuticals containing cannabinoids may be effective against eczema, psoriasis, atopic and contact dermatitis.
WE BELIEVE CBD
IS ALL-POWERFUL.
FIT FOR A QUEEN. MADE FOR HEMPRESS.
CONQUER DULL SKIN WITH CANNABIS.
1. CBD lowers the production of sebum, an oily substance on the skin that can cause breakouts.
​
2. CBD has powerful antioxidant and regenerative qualities that help offset damage from the sun, pollution and aging.
​
3. Numerous studies have shown that CBD has anti-inflammatory benefits when applied to the skin. This makes CBD the ideal ingredient for healing acne, while its calming benefits help reactive skin look and feel better.
​
4. By counteracting free-radical damage and reducing the look of inflammation, CBD helps visibly diminish issues like dullness and ruddy skin tone.
​
5. CBD possesses antibacterial and anti-fungal effects, which may help reduce infections from dirt and other pollutants on the skin.
HOW DOES CBD WORK WITHIN THE BODY?
Simply put, the reason plant cannabinoids have medicinal effects is due to the fact that our bodies possess an endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system is made up of receptors throughout the body and plays a vital role in regulating a broad range of physiological processes. CBD exerts its influence by mimicking and altering the receptors within the ECS.
WHAT DOES
"FULL-SPECTRUM" MEAN?
Full-spectrum CBD contains all compounds found naturally occurring in the plant, including terpenes, essential oils, and other cannabinoids. The full-spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes and essential oils extracted from the plant work together to magnify the therapeutic benefits of each cannabinoid. This is commonly referred to as the “entourage effect."​
​
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF THC VS CBD?
CBD will not get you high or intoxicated—period, end of the story. It can, however, calm your nerves and relieve stress. Despite being chemical cousins, THC and CBD have very different effects on the human body. This is because THC and CBD affect our endocannabinoid system (ECS) in different ways. The major ECS receptor in the brain, CB1, is activated by THC, but not by CBD.
​
TERPENES
Tiny but super powerful, terpenes are highly active, aromatic molecules that give each cannabis strain its individual fragrance and taste. These molecular compounds have also been known to carry an array of medicinal benefits. Other botanicals rich in terpenes, like lavender, are commonly used in aromatherapy due to their uplifting, relaxing or healing effects. When it comes to the topical applications, certain terpenes have a profound effect on the way chemicals are transported across skin barriers, making cannabinoids such as CBD more readily available to cannabinoid receptors. The cannabis we utilize is rich in the terpenes Myrcene, A-bisabolol, B-Caryophyllene, Humulene and Limonene. Learn more about each of them below.
