Combining Beauty, Environmental Awareness & Health
With the advent of medical and recreational marijuana changes in the United States, applications for cannabis when it comes to skin and beauty are exploding. Its application as a topical ingredient is promising and may revolutionize the industry of cosmetics. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and vitamin-rich qualities of cannabis are being widely studied and considered. Beauty enthusiasts, health conscious consumers and those worried about GMOs, chemicals, products that violate cruelty-free standards and conservation awareness will find that the following products are successful in addressing all of your cosmetic needs and concerns.
#1 Cannabis-Infused Moisturizers
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Consequently, it is the largest organ which requires hydration. There are a variety of skin types and as a result, there are many types of cannabis lotions for each skin type. Cannabis Sativa seed oil is usually the main ingredient in these moisturizers. Skin hydration is one of the core beauty regimens for youthful skin and these lotions (which are usually produced from organic resources) can be especially helpful for acne, eczema, pruritus and atopic dermatitis. Some of the positive effects from using cannabis seed oil topically in moisturizers include: the calming of redness, the reduction of itchiness, the removal of additional medications from treatment and the improvement of healing. Furthermore, these lotions are usually non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores.
#2 Cannabis-Infused Anti-Aging Creams
CBG and CBD possess extremely potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and can counteract the damaging effects of fine lines, wrinkles and damage caused by UV exposure. Anti-aging creams containing cannabinoids can help counteract harmful free atmospheric radicals and reduce oxidative stress, which damage your skin cells. These infused creams also work to improve skin elasticity and boost collagen production. In addition, both compounds have superior tolerability compared to other anti-aging alternatives such as Vitamin C, retinoids and exfoliating acids. Moreover, CBD also inhibits the formation of Tyrosinase, an enzyme that produces melanin which can lead to dark spots.
#3 Cannabis-Infused Mascara
Popular culture everywhere has discussed the current environmental crisis with Earth’s bees. Currently, beeswax is facing a worldwide shortage. It is the main binding agent in making mascara. Beeswax is used to help shape the lashes and condition them without creating any clumping or smearing. This beeswax shortage has actually caused some people (such as vegans and the environmentally conscious) to strictly avoid using mascara. However, cannabis-based mascara replaces beeswax with cannabis sativa oil. This has become a much more compassionate and cruelty-free choice for those who are concerned with the issue of conservation and our Earth’s changing environment.
#4 Cannabis-Infused Lip Balm/Gloss
CBD has anti-inflammatory properties, which can aid in helping to soothe and help chapped lips. THC and CBD lip balms are carefully formulated to moisturize and heal dry lips. Often these balms are used in conjunction with other soothing agents such as jojoba oil, peppermint or Vitamin E. The anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties are helpful in alleviating problems due to burns, herpes, rashes, chapped skin and many other general skin irritations. Furthermore, choosing a cannabis based lip conditioner addresses again the issue surrounding the bees of Earth. It’s cruelty-free and conservation-friendly.
#5 Cannabis-Infused Eyeshadow Palettes
The eye area of our face is arguably the most delicate, when it comes to skin. Cannabis is highly packed with essential fatty acids like Omega-3, which the human body cannot produce on its own. These essential fatty acids help maintain soft, healthy skin while also preventing damage from sun exposure and aging. These cannabis-infused shadow products create a soft texture on your skin, while keeping the sensitive area around your eyes hydrated, yet still beautiful.
#6 Cannabis-Infused Liquid Foundation
Like other beauty products, cannabis-infused liquid foundation is creating a revolutionary bridge between cannabinoid science and cosmetics. These products promote a complexion that is hydrated, beautiful and healthy, while simultaneously helping to reduce the signs of aging. This is accomplished by using whole plant cannabis extracts. Using natural CBD foundation seamlessly blends the importance of beautiful, healthy skin with the idea of health. It helps nourish and moisturize, improves firmness and elasticity of the skin, helps stimulate the regeneration of dermal cells, slows the effects of premature aging and improves the skin’s natural metabolism. These CBD liquid foundations also claim to have good absorption capacity and are hypoallergenic for all skin types.
#7 Cannabis-Infused Blusher/Face Powder
Blusher/powder products made with pure CBD from some manufacturers claim to be made in small batches, to ensure quality. Furthermore, they tend to be free of harmful chemicals, fragrances or GMOs. Mineral blusher made with pure CBD helps to ensure that your beauty regimen is not just about bringing out your inner radiance but also health-oriented. These products are found to have long lasting effects, while still adhering to vegan and cruelty-free standards. Therapeutic effects provided by these CBD infused toners to the skin include: moisturizing, rejuvenating, protectiveness and beauty.
#8 CBD Bath Salts
May women experience PMS, prior to menstruation. CBD bath salts may help alleviate menstrual cramps. CBD bath bombs are often combined with Epsom salt, which has muscle-relaxing effects. When combined with CBD’s anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, these bath salts can bring immense relief from this monthly pain. Furthermore, some research suggests that CBD oil has a positive effect on sebocytes. These are cells that create sebum, which can lead to acne. Regarding stress, adding CBD to your bath salt routine can significantly enhance the relaxation and rejuvenation you experience during a warm bath.
#9 Hemp & Cannabis-Infused Soaps
Hemp-based soaps are infused with cannabidiol (CBD) oil, while cannabis soaps are often infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or a combination of both CBD and THC. The wonderful therapeutic benefits from these cannabinoids include: anti-inflammation, anti-anxiety, antiviral and antibacterial. Unlike hemp-based soaps, cannabis soaps are infused with THC oil, which is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. These soaps provide a soothing effect upon the skin. In addition, they provide a variety of other benefits to your dermal layer: providing a rich moisturizing effect, helping in reducing inflammation of the skin and offering relief from a variety of skin irritations.
#10 Cannabis-Infused Shampoos/Conditioners
CBD shampoos and conditioners may improve your hair by adding a wide range of benefits when applied topically, by strengthening and even protecting your hair. CBD contains all 21 amino acids, which strengthens hair, reduces dryness and are an essential aspect of human homeostasis. Hair is constructed of protein and amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Everyday environmental stressors impact even our hair, such as: simple dust, air pollution, UV radiation, oxidative damage and common chemicals that are ubiquitous in hair products. Ingesting CBD (as opposed to applying it topically) can also strengthen your hair, because it also contains antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C and E which provide protection against harmful free radicals in the environment. Also, the anti-inflammatory properties of these shampoos can help treat scalp-related issues, such as: dandruff, eczema, psoriasis and alopecia. An unhealthy scalp can be caused simply through the unhealthy buildup of toxins and/or inflamed cells. CBD furthermore has antimicrobial properties, which can help with scalp infections.
#11 Cannabis-Infused Hair Gel/Spray
Cannabis hair styling products can add an explosion of style, texture and volume to your hair while using Sativa seed oil as a lasting barrier of moisture. These products tend to be innovatively lightweight and also alcohol-free, while using a plant-based CBD infusion. These products combine beauty with the therapeutic effects of CBD, which promotes a healthy scalp and helps to create stronger hair follicles. It works directly with your body’s endocannabinoid system to help circulate their benefits throughout your body.
#12 Cannabis-Infused Massage Oil
Massage oils combine CBD, THC or sometimes both to provide a full-spectrum of benefits. These oils soothe inflammation and skin irritation, relieve pain and inflammation in muscles and joints, while alleviating dry, itchy skin. They can also provide relief from eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sunburn, winter dry skin, minor burns, scrapes, insect bites, hives and can aid in healing tattoos. They provide whole body relief through herbal wellness. The cannabinoids in CBD and THC can also provide relief from aching joints, chronic pain, arthritis and sore muscles. They reduce tension, help relieve chronic pain, alleviate anxiety and stress, improve skin conditions, boost your mood and significantly stimulate your physical senses.
