What are the different CBD cosmetics?

CBD has taken the lion's share of the market since it was authorised in France. Available in a number of forms, it is in cosmetics that it sells best. Here is an overview of the various CBD cosmetics on sale.

CBD: a plant used since antiquity

Although CBD may seem to have appeared only a few years ago, the plant it comes from has been used since antiquity. It is even one of the first plants domesticated by humans. CBD comes from hemp, a plant with a long-standing reputation.

This remarkable plant needs very little care, being naturally resistant to drought and disease. It is used from top to root. Hemp was the material of the first woven cloth. It also yields the sturdy ropes still in use today. The seeds can be eaten as they are, in bread or in salads, and hemp oil is prized as well.

The new CBD-based cosmetics

Because hemp has a long-standing reputation, a number of manufacturers and laboratories have designed a whole range of CBD-based cosmetics. For the skin, the hair or the lips, this age-old plant has found its way into beauty routines.

CBD lip balms

Made from a blend of fine oils, CBD oil among them, these balms are presented as softening and moisturising the lips. They can be used in any season, including in the mountains.

CBD body balms

Being very rich, these balms are meant to be applied sparingly to dry or aching areas. Their makers recommend them for points of tightness, for stiffness after exercise or simply for very dry skin.

CBD massage creams, balms and oils

Designed with oils chosen for their soothing reputation, these massage balms and creams combine CBD and camphor. They are the sort of product manufacturers suggest keeping at hand after exercise.

CBD anti-ageing creams and treatments

These creams are formulated, according to their makers, to slow the appearance of the first fine lines. Some are recommended for daytime use and others for the night. They generally suit all skin types, including the most delicate.

CBD deodorants

Perspiration is sometimes linked to stress. The CBD deodorant is lightly scented, and its makers state that odours are limited and captured by the technical composition of its ingredients.

CBD face oils

What better than an oil to moisturise the skin and nourish it deeply? CBD face oils are presented as relaxing the facial muscles for a calmer, younger-looking result. Their scent is neutral or lightly perfumed, depending on preference. They are used by women and men alike.

CBD sheet masks

Sheet masks, widely praised for nourishing the skin of the face, come to us straight from South Korea, the world capital of beauty products. Here the CBD infused into the mask is presented by the makers as having a relaxing effect.

CBD lotions and serums

To round off the range of CBD cosmetics, you can add CBD lotions and serums to your beauty routine. You will notice the softness they leave on the face and the moisturising finish CBD oil provides.
