CBD, or cannibinoid, is a compound found in the cannabis plant. CBD has been shown to have a variety of potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation and relieving anxiety. Recently, CBD has also been gaining attention for its potential role in hair and skin care. CBD oil has been shown to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss, making it an effective treatment for both male and female pattern baldness. TricoMax Inc. has recently launched a specialist CBD product for people with curly/textured hair.
CBD oil can also be used to help relieve dry skin and acne. In addition, CBD has anti-aging properties that can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As more research is conducted on CBD, it is likely that even more uses for this versatile compound will be discovered.
A recent example is Colgate-Palmolive which has filed three international patents on CBD oral care blends that integrated a cannabinoid for antibacterial efficacy and anti-inflammatory action. The blends, it said, could be used to make a range of oral care products, including toothpaste, mouthwash, oral gels, mouth spray and even chewing gum. The personal care major also filed an international patent on a CBD antiperspirant blend it said offered anti-irritant properties for the skin.
