CBD took the world by storm the moment we became aware of it. After chocolates, candles, coffee and pet foods, CBD and hemp have now stepped into the beauty industry, appearing in creams, oils, balms and serums.
If you are curious about CBD skincare but not sure where to start, here are three reasons people are adding hemp and CBD to their beauty routines.
1. Nourishing Fatty Acids
Hemp seed oil is naturally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which is why it has long been used in moisturisers and balms. It absorbs without feeling greasy and suits most skin types, making it a lovely base for a daily moisturiser or a massage oil.
2. A Simple, Natural Ingredient List
Many people are looking for skincare with fewer synthetic ingredients. Hemp and CBD products from quality brands keep the ingredient list short: plant oils, butters, essential oils and hemp extract, with no artificial colours or fragrances.
3. A Pleasure to Use
CBD topicals are often blended with lavender, ylang-ylang or peppermint, which makes them a treat to massage into the skin at the end of the day. A self-massage with a CBD oil is a small ritual that turns skincare into self-care.
The Final Word
Whatever skincare you use, quality ingredients matter. If you would like to try hemp and CBD skincare, choose products made from the finest organic hemp by a brand that publishes its lab reports. GOGO Green Organics ticks both boxes: our massage oils and muscle rubs are made with organic CBD isolate and carefully chosen essential oils, and every batch is independently tested.
As with any new skincare product, patch test on your inner arm first, keep topicals away from the eyes and broken skin, and speak to your GP or a dermatologist about any skin condition – CBD skincare is a cosmetic, not a treatment.
