“The boom in sales of CBD products is testament to the increasing crossover between the beauty and wellness industries, and when it comes to CBD skincare specifically, both high-street and premium brands are utilising the ingredient in their droves.
“CBD (cannabidiol) is essentially the non psycho-active strain of cannabis or hemp,” says Mason. “It’s sourced in a different way to marijuana and does not contain THC, so it is therefore perfectly legal and is in no way psycho-active.”
Available in drops and in edible form, too, CBD is specifically used in skincare products for its healing properties because of its anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, “many acne sufferers are turning to CBD as it calms the skin, eases redness and aids in cell renewal”, continues Mason. It’s also touted as a good anti-ageing ingredient because it is an antioxidant.”
