30 Seconds – CBD in Skin-Care Products: 3 Companies Utilizing Cannabidiol in Their Beauty Products

Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, is active ingredient in cannabis derived from the hemp plant that’s widely touted for its anti-inflammatory properties. For some it’s even an effective topical remedy for various types of pain. And while cannabidiol research is inconclusive – and ongoing – about the true effectiveness on humans, CBD has also become incredibly popular ingredient in the skin-care industry.

San Diego-based Bear Necessities Co. is a CBD lifestyle brand that harnesses the benefits of CBD oil in numerous products including a skin-care collection that’s getting a lot of buzz. One of the bestselling products is the revitalizing moisturizer that contains 150 mg of CBD with added coconut oil, jojoba oil, aloe, avocado oil, vitamin E, rosemary, neem, meadowfoam seed oil, sunflower seed oil and white willow bark that work to keep the skin smooth, radiant and clear.

According to Bear Necessities founder Halee Kalevitch, CBD’s top skin benefits are calming, correcting and soothing. “As the compound comes from a plant, it has incredible antioxidant properties that work to help fight signs of aging such as wrinkles, skin dullness and uneven skin tone,” Kalevitch says. “Also, CBD can help with acne-prone skin by reducing inflammation and excess sebum, as various studies have shown. On top of the CBD benefits, the Bear Necessities Rejuvenating Moisturizer has DMAE (Dimethylethanolamine) to double up on the revival of skin tone.”
