Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through a dual-action pathway: it provides robust antioxidant protection by neutralizing free radicals from UV and pollution, while simultaneously interacting with the skin's endocannabinoid system. This interaction helps modulate inflammatory responses, stimulate keratinocyte activity for barrier repair, and regulate lipid production for a refined complexion.
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence2%
Key findings
- 01 Technical data shows significant fibroblast protection against oxidative damage at concentrations between 1% and 5%.
- 02 In-vitro analysis at 2% concentration demonstrated a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8, alongside enhanced barrier protein expression.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Due to the marketing appeal of 'Hemp' or 'Cannabis' ingredients, it is frequently used at 'claim' levels (below 0.1%). However, clinical data suggests a minimum of 1% is required to achieve meaningful antioxidant and barrier-strengthening benefits.
