What is CBD?
CBD is a naturally-occurring chemical compound found in cannabis plants and is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It has been shown in multiple studies to reduce overproduction of sebum. One study even found that CBD could prevent acne in multiple ways.
Hemp Seed Oil vs CBD
Hemp Seed Oil isn’t the same thing as CBD. Actual CBD in the formula will be written as any of the following: CBD, hemp CBD, full-spectrum hemp extract, phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil, and hemp extract oil.
Benefits of CBD for Skin

A CBD infused hair growth serum by Sephora aisle brand Vegamour.

By reducing the size of the cannabidiol molecule from 2,000 nanometers to 150 nanometers, the beneficial CBD terpenes are able to penetrate through to the upper layer of the dermis, reaching hair follicles at the root level. This allows Vegamour’s proprietary blend of concentrated mung bean, red clover, curcumin and nicotiana benthamiana extracts to circulate more effectively into problem areas to strengthen roots and increase the appearance of hair density, thickness and volume.
