All about CBD
For many years, we have been observing the trend of returning to what once was, to silence, peace and rural charm.
We escape from cities, slow down, surround ourselves with nature, reach for natural cosmetics, and eat
least processed things... We returned to the fact that nature heals, and to strong chemical drugs
we reach for it as a last resort. CBD has emerged on the wave of this trend.
CBD – what is it?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is the most well-known and tested organic chemical compound
in hemp. There are 3 types of this plant: Sativa, Indica and Rudelaris. CBD is mainly extracted
from the Sativa variety, which in Poland we know as industrial hemp. Hemp
contains a low level of legally illegal THC, which makes their cultivation possible in most cases
EU countries. CBD and THC have a similar chemical structure, are obtained from similar plants and exhibit
medical properties, the difference between them is that CBD does not have intoxicating properties.
Properties of CBD
CBD comes primarily in the form of oil. It is used not only as an ingredient supporting treatment processes, but also as an ingredient of cosmetics. Studies show that this compound helps with:
- anxiety, anxiety states,
- inflammation in various parts of the body,
- pain, seizures, addiction recovery,
- circulatory system diseases (by lowering blood pressure),
- depression,
- sleep disorders (prolongs the REM phase, calms down),

- cancer.
Cosmetics with CBD
CBD oil is used in cosmetics, i.e Cannabis sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil. It is very desirable due to its unique composition - almost 80% are EFAs - unsaturated fatty acids from the group of omega-6 and omega-3 acids. We will also find in it amino acids, proteins, minerals, carotene, phospholipids, vitamins A, D, E, K. CBD oil has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, regenerating and antioxidant properties.
The oil is eagerly used in cosmetics also due to its application advantages. Its formula makes does not leave on the oily layer of the skin, regulates sebum secretion and has anti-acne properties. Many companies have decided to introduce cosmetics and even entire series of cosmetics based on this oil into their offer.
Thanks to the large number of beneficial properties, CBD is conquering the pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets around the world. The best packaging for CBD cosmetics are glass bottles and glass jars.
