More and more women are interested in the subject of natural cosmetics. They don't want to find chemical additives in their personal care products. Instead, the focus is on gentle cleaning and natural care. A new agent that is used in natural cosmetic products is CBD. The active ingredient from the hemp plant is said to be a real miracle cure for the body and is therefore increasingly used against skin problems. This article explains how natural cosmetics with CBD work and what consumers should pay attention to.
The active ingredients of natural cosmetics
If you want to look around for natural cosmetics, you should find out more in advance. Because the term “natural cosmetics” itself is not protected. Many companies advertise with the buzzword without actually using only organic ingredients. Various natural cosmetic seals help to find good brands. Basically, the most important thing is that high-quality, natural ingredients are used and that certain problem substances are not used.
The problematic ingredients include:
- Silicones
- petroleum-based substances
- Microplastics
- chemical preservatives
- chemical emulsifiers
Instead, natural cosmetics primarily contain natural oils and fats, waxes, lanolin, water, aloe vera, glycerine and natural preservatives such as alcohol. While the cooling effects of aloe vera are well known, there is a new substance that is increasingly being used in natural cosmetics: CBD. Cannabidiol is an active ingredient that is extracted from the hemp plant and is mainly known as drops or oil for oral consumption. Tests show that a positive effect can also be expected when used on the skin.
The many modes of action of the CBD
First of all, it is important to dispel one myth: CBD, unlike the well-known THC, has no intoxicating effects. That is why products with CBD are freely available in Germany. In fact, CBD has numerous positive effects on the human organism. In the medical field, CBD is used against multiple sclerosis as well as various forms of epilepsy.
One of the most important effects that CBD has can already be seen here: It has an anti-inflammatory effect. This applies to both inflammation that prevails in the body and skin inflammation. Over-the-counter CBD oils are also used against sleep disorders, as pain relievers and colds.
CBD can also have a positive effect in natural cosmetics due to its anti-inflammatory effects. High quality CBD natural cosmetics are available for different skin types and for different areas. The versatile effects of the "miracle weapon" CBD can be easily transferred from the inside of the body to the skin.
CBD can also be absorbed through the skin
Many users know CBD primarily as a product that is taken orally. In contrast, there is absorption through the skin. Since cannabidiol is fat-loving, it dissolves well in oils and fats. Here natural cosmetics have a decisive advantage, as they are primarily composed of these substances. On the one hand, CBD dissolves easily in natural cosmetic products. On the other hand, CBD combines with the fatty skin of humans and can thus be absorbed into the body via the epidermis.
Various studies show that CBD is almost as effective here as with oral intake. This means that users of CBD cosmetics not only benefit directly on the skin, but also do something good for the body as a whole.
The anti-inflammatory effects of cannabidiol also alleviate inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and inflammatory skin problems. Acne can be treated very well with CBD products, for example. At the same time, CBD has an anti-inflammatory effect on patients with psoriasis. Skin diseases on the face can be treated surprisingly well with natural cosmetics with CBD. It is not uncommon for the cosmetic products to alleviate the symptoms and give the patient a new attitude towards life.
Against wrinkles and skin aging
In addition to its effect on skin diseases, CBD can also be used as a classic cosmetic product. Especially demanding, older skin can benefit from the cell-protecting properties of CBD. In the anti-aging field, wrinkles are a particularly common problem. Special products with skin-tightening ingredients help smooth out wrinkles and prevent skin aging. A combination of CBD and other natural ingredients provides the skin with an extra boost:
- Aloe vera
- Dexpanthenol
- Green algae
- Hemp seed oil
- Ice wine grapes
- Hyaluronic acid
- Vitamin E.
In addition to these substances, other micronutrients can help in the fight against wrinkles. These should not only be absorbed through the skin. Ingestion through food has a valuable effect and is supported by care with high-quality natural cosmetics. Vitamin C is mainly found in various types of vegetables and fruits and protects the skin from harmful UV radiation, as various studies have shown. Zinc, selenium and manganese are important trace elements that detoxify the body. Green tea is good for the body both for the skin and as a drink. It detoxifies and protects against free radicals, which can be a cause of wrinkling.
Moisturizing care that plumps up the skin
Of course, young skin can also benefit from high-quality care. First of all, it should be mentioned here that it makes sense to start good skin care early on in order to prevent premature skin aging. Skin that is regularly moisturized and cared for is less likely to suffer from wrinkling and other age-related skin damage.
CBD helps the skin to renew itself. In addition, there are moisturizing ingredients that plump up the skin and firm it at the same time. Young women who suffer from dry skin are well advised to use cannabidiol products. Rough, tense skin is a thing of the past if users pay attention to a balanced complex of active ingredients:
- Hyaluronic acid
- Green algae
- Sea salad
- Panthenol
- Vitamin B5
- Chamomile oil
- Jojoba oil
Soothing oils help make the skin glow. These oils are also true miracle cures in the fight against pimples. It can be seen that many substances are found both in classic anti-aging products and in cosmetics for young skin. The composition is often important here. Young skin often needs a little less rich care products than mature skin. In principle, of course, younger consumers can also use anti-aging care products if, for example, they have very dry skin that tends to wrinkle.
Watch out for allergens
Although natural cosmetics are often gentler than conventional care products, allergy sufferers should take a close look at the ingredients. Because oils, fragrances and alcohols can irritate the skin and lead to allergic reactions. Users notice this primarily in a burning sensation as well as red, itchy or sore skin. If you are prone to allergies, it is best to try out new products on a small area of skin first. This makes it easy to determine whether the new natural cosmetics are well tolerated.
| Tip: CBD oils also help against acute allergy symptoms. Because of their anti-inflammatory effects, the oils or drops can fight itching and redness. Nevertheless, natural cosmetic products with CBD are not allergen-free |
