There has been a lot of talk recently about using CBD face cream, moisturisers, balms, lotions and day creams as part of a healthy skincare routine, but what are the real benefits of using cosmetics with CBD in them? We’ll delve into the subject in today’s blog.

When it comes to skin care, here at the hemp shop we know that hemp holds the key to nourished and healthy skin. Long before CBD became popular, for thousands of years in fact, another part of the hemp plant has been helping people in their skincare routines. Hemp seed oil has long been used as a skincare treatment that soothes inflammation, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, while moisturising the skin. The Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids are proven to help to hydrate dry skin, leaving it feeling softer and less sensitive. Vitamin E contained in hemp seed oil is a powerful antioxidant which has been shown in studies to reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as reducing scarring, making it a great choice for tattoo aftercare. It’s incredibly powerful for dealing with dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis and is used in the best eczema treatment balm that we know of; Balmonds Skin Salvation.

There are over 100 cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, and we’re just at the beginning of our exploration into how they all interact with the human body.

The great thing about CBD gaining popularity in many countries around the world is that we are now starting to see more widespread scientific studies on the uses and effects of CBD in humans. When it comes to the minor cannabinoids, it is still very early days. Research and studies are few and far between, but as with CBD, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence from people using these cannabinoids for a variety of purposes.

Two of the most popular minor cannabinoids are CBN and CBG, but what are the benefits of using these in conjunction with CBD?
