My CannaButter (CBD Oil) is a Infused Beauty Product

CBD oil is having a moment. But, unlike other super beauty ingredients making a splash in skin and hair care, there is a lot of controversy surrounding the cannabis-derived ingredient. Nonetheless, its beauty benefits and promising future in beauty are hard to ignore.

What Is CBD Oil and How Does It Work?

Cannabis interchangeably know as Weed and Marijuana has been used as far back as 2900 B.C. Cannabidiol is a popular natural remedy used for many common ailments. Better known as CBD.
Cannabinoids in cannabis plants, make up to 40% of the plant’s extract. Cannabinoids are found in the cannabis or marijuana plant, Cannabis sativa. In order to understand how CBD Oils work, it’s important to know what cannabinoids are and what they do. Cannabinoids are chemical messengers that activate a class of cell membrane receptors located throughout the body. These body receptors are part of the endocannabinoid system.
The cannabinoids marijuana and hemp, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBD, are considered exogenous, which, when consumed, also interact with cannabinoid receptors in the body and can generate similar physical and psychological effects. It is important to note that CBD will not produce the same euphoric sensations as THC, which means using CBD won’t make you feel “high”. In essence, Cannabinoids work is by helping your body use its own cannabinoids.
CBD Oil is made by extracting CBD Oil from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut, jojoba or hemp seed oil. Which is exactly what we have done at My Cannabutter. We have researched and experimented with adding the oil into homemade tinctures, Oils and Butters for our Beauty Grooming Products.

The Beauty Aspect of CBD Oil

The CBD beauty trend mostly refers to products formulated with the cannabinoid. Similar to other natural beauty benefiting ingredients such as Moringa or Marula, which can be ingested on their own or used topically in a beauty product the oil is the ingredient, and the beauty product is the delivery system that helps provide the skin with the beauty benefits of CBD.

Before the CBD beauty trend took off, CBD-infused drugs were most commonly used for pain management and inflammatory conditions.

Why do We Love Cannabis So Much?

Cannabis Oil contains all 21 known amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, which help to build up collagen and elastin. These are essential to hair strength. By helping hair to build protein, Cannabis prevents breakage and even makes locks look thicker and fuller.

Rich in Vitamins A, C and E

Vitamin A stimulates the cells responsible for producing the tissue that keeps skin firm and healthy.
Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, and it helps to reduce signs of aging.
Vitamin E blocks free radicals from the body which aid in slowing down the aging process.

These three are the best studied of all the antioxidants — they protect us from pollution-induced free radicals.

Rich in Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9

Omega-3 helps in opening up the hair follicles and promoting hair growth.
Omega-6 nourishes and thickens hair. Controls water loss. Plus it keeps our scalp healthy and improves the condition of our skin.
Omega-9 reinforces and smoothens skin’s surface. Visibly strengthens skin against signs of environmental damage. Deliver antioxidants for anti-aging results.

Additionally, one of the amino acids in CBD Oil, tyrosine, helps to maintain hair color.

But where My Cannabutter really shines is scalp health. My Cannabutter made waves in the beauty industry for its amazing benefits to the skin, and your scalp is no different. It’s regenerative for the skin, so it helps the scalp maintain necessary things to keep it healthy, like good blood circulation and quelling dandruff and sore or irritated hair follicles. It’s even been shown to stimulate hair growth, and aids in receding or thinning hair and hairline.

On top of the benefits of CBD on aging skin, it can also benefit breakout-prone complexions. “Because acne is an inflammatory condition related to overworked sebaceous-gland production, promising new research states that CBD can help reduce the production of sebum, which means CBD could become a future treatment for acne, particularly acne vulgaris, the most common form of acne associated with overproduction of sebum,” – Dr Zenhausern

CBD beauty products aid in other inflammatory-related conditions and anti-bacterial properties. CBD naturally helps improve irritating skin conditions including rosacea, eczema and psoriasis,” Julie Winter, COO and founding partner of CBD For Life, explains.

How to Use CBD Oil for Best Results

But hemp-derived CBD is totally cleared for sale, which is why many CBD oil-boasting brands use the word “hemp” in their marketing. “A new trend that is emerging is that CBD companies are relabeling their products as ‘hemp’ only so that they don’t run into any issues selling them on the mass market.

Another important thing to consider is the results. As with all beauty products, the types of results you wish to see should dictate the way you apply or use CBD in your regimen. “Consumers can ingest CBD oil in products like tinctures for fast-acting results since it travels directly into the bloodstream. But, applying CBD topically is the most effective for targeting specific areas of the body like muscle aches and pains,” explains Winter.

Potential Side Effects of CBD Oil

The good news? Unlike THC, initial studies around CBD pose little to no sign of side effects to those who apply and ingest it. As for skin care, Dr. Jaliman says, “No studies have shown it to cause irritation or to aggravate sensitive skin. Research has shown CBD beauty products are safe to use with no unwanted side effects.” These results vary from person to person. My Cannabutter’s original scalp treatment was intended to create healthier scalps with healthier looking hair. As promising as Amazing as My CannaButter sounds, it’s no secret that this beauty ingredient is still pretty new and highly controversial, so our advice? As with any trendy, expert-approved beauty ingredient, it’s always wise to consult your dermatologist before adding any beauty products to your regimen.
