Skincare with CBD & CBG

CBD, a major cannabinoid, is growing in popularity in the beauty industry for its anti-inflammatory properties. CBD interacts with our endocannabinoid system to produce anti-inflammatory benefits.

CBG is a minor cannabinoid and has shown to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. CBG also interacts with our endocannabinoid system in similar ways as CBD by helping to reduce inflammation and restore balance to our bodies.  Once CBG enters the epidermis (skin), it penetrates to the basal and subcutaneous layers where it helps calm inflammation, reduce blemishes, purifies pores, balance oil production and promote cellular turnover.  

There have been less studies on CBG than CBD but the benefits are noting. According to New Beauty, CBG is rich in antioxidants, which help fend off free radicals that can prematurely age the look of skin. It also boasts antibacterial and antifungal properties to help reduce and soothe acne and other skin inflammations.
