A Breakdown of Everything CBD
Who really knows what CBD is anyways?
CBD is quite possibly the buzziest word in the beauty and wellness industry right now. CBD (short for cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive marijuana or hemp derived ingredient formed by cold pressing the seeds of marijuana or hemp. It has been popping up in every type of product from bath oils, moisturizers, shampoo and lots of edible forms of the ingredient from lemon-flavored drops to chocolate to tea. We are going to break it all down for you, and try and give an insight into the mysterious ingredient that you’ll start seeing more and more of.
Why is CBD popping up so much in new beauty launches?
Well, it can reduce inflammation, calm breakouts, boost your mood, and relax you and your skin. CBD should have an award for all the benefits it yields; it is the ultimate multi-tasker.
“The root cause of many skin issues is imbalance, and cannabinoids help the skin return to balance,” Prima co-founder Laurel Angelica Myers tells us. CBD helps keep the body’s Endocannabinoid System, balanced by firing neurons and its inflammatory response. Feals co-founder Drew Todd goes on to explain “the human body’s Endocannabinoid System, ECS, consists of tiny receptors that play a key role in regulating mood, pain, and everyday experience.”

There are so many products launching that have CBD in them it can be overwhelming. This is no longer a product that only millennials are using; if you ask around you’ll quickly see that your mom, grandfather, neighbor and even medical professionals are getting on board.
CBD oil can be added to your evening cup of tea to help reduce anxiety, stress, and help you fall asleep. You can take a gummy during the day when you feel overwhelmed with your never-ending to-do list and still get through afternoon meetings. You can use a salve with CBD to help soothe eczema because of its powerful anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties.

Prima Skin Therapy Cream
Skin Therapy Cream is made with hemp derived CBD, organic oils and butters to create a fast-absorbing lotion to help soothe, hydrate and nourish dry skin. “Science shows that supplementing your skin’s Endocannabinoid System with topical phytocannabinoids found in hemp may play an important role in supporting skin balance and overall skin health,” Myers explains. So by helping re-balance the skin, it will stay hydrated and nourished.
