Science
Mechanism of Action
It functions as a multi-modal humectant and pH-regulator. By delivering phytochemicals directly to the epidermis, it modulates skin reactivity to reduce inflammation and exhibits sebostatic effects to balance sebum production while reinforcing the acid mantle.

Key findings
- 01 Concentrations of 1-10% demonstrate significant sebostatic and anti-inflammatory activity, effectively reducing acne-related irritation.
- 02 Application at 100% as a formula base shows superior reduction in trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and higher instant hydration metrics compared to standard deionized water.

Dusting Analysis
Due to the marketing appeal of 'Cannabis' ingredients, it is frequently included at negligible concentrations (<0.5%) for label claims. A minimum of 1% is required for basic conditioning, while 5-10% is necessary for therapeutic anti-inflammatory benefits.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Maintains high stability in aqueous solutions but requires robust preservation against microbial growth. Bioactive aromatic compounds are sensitive to thermal degradation if processed above 80°C.
