CANNABIS SATIVA FLOWER/LEAF/STEM WATER.

Valuable CAS 89958-21-4 / HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING

A refined botanical distillate derived from the aerial components of the hemp plant, offering a bio-active alternative to standard floral waters. This aqueous extract delivers trace cannabinoids and phenolic antioxidants to soothe inflammation while reinforcing the skin's moisture barrier.

Skin conditioning Anti-inflammatory Humectant Sebum regulation Antioxidant

Science

Mechanism of Action

Operates through a dual-action pathway: it acts as a humectant by utilizing hydroxyl groups to bind water within the epidermis, while simultaneously modulating the NF-κB pathway. This biochemical intervention reduces the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-8, effectively calming cutaneous stress and regulating lipid production.

Key findings

  1. 01 Application of 0.1%–1.0% concentrations demonstrated a 20–30% reduction in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) compared to compromised skin controls.
  2. 02 Ultra-low concentrations of 0.005% showed superior inhibition of NF-κB activity and IL-8 secretion compared to purified CBD isolates.
  3. 03 In vitro testing at 20 μg/mL significantly suppressed the overproduction of MMP-1 enzymes and IL-6 induced by UVA irradiation, protecting Type I procollagen.

Due to the high marketing appeal of 'Cannabis' ingredients, this water is frequently used at negligible levels for label claims. While it shows anti-inflammatory activity as low as 0.005%, concentrations below 0.1% likely fail to provide the documented barrier-repair benefits.
