For many of us, we were unaware of what cannabidiol was let
alone what it could do until the Charlotte Figi story in the mid2000 with the CNN “Weed” Special with Dr. Sanjay Gupta. From there the medicinal benefits of CBD were being explored and
not only was Charlotte Figi a household name but also the cultivars,
the Stanley Brothers. The concept of low THC cannabis and hemp
gained curiosity as well. We were contemplating hemp not just for
industrial possibilities but for the health potential as well.
Since that time, research that was nearly buried was resurfacing. The research analyzing CBD for anxiety, pain, inflammation,
psychosis and cancer has gained more and more interest despite
the lack of standardization of many of these research trials and the more anecdotal focus. Regardless, consumers are seeing the incredible benefits of this amazing
compound. CBD is projected to be a $19.5 billion
dollar business by 2025 and the beauty and wellness
industry is paying attention.
The global CBD skin care market is expected
to reach $ 1.7 billion by 2025, according to
Million Insights. Increasing awareness related to the healing properties of CBD
infused beauty products is majorly
driving the market growth.
CBD is an excellent anti-inflammatory and helps skin care
in a few important ways. 1. Reduces potential triggers that cause eczema, dermatitis,
and psoriasis
2. Soothes skin and reduce the appearance of irritation
3. Decreases the production of sebum which causes acne
4. Hydrates dry skin
As the medicinal research behind cannabis increases, the CBD
beauty industry is undoubtedly growing and is the next big step
for this diverse and effective cannabinoid. Keep in mind if deciding to enter into the beauty realm of CBD, the chosen medium
that the CBD is infused within can enhance the potential
effect tremendously. Proper formulation and concentration can make the difference between a placebo effect and a medicinally beneficial product.
