Ingredient 101: CBD vs. Hemp
Hemp vs. CBD
Hemp oil and CBD oil are two popular ingredients that can be found in our EMERALD facial oils. However, there are some key differences between these oils, and it's important to understand them to determine which one might be best for your skin.
Hemp oil is derived from the seeds of the hemp plant and is rich in fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6. These fatty acids are essential for healthy skin and can help to hydrate and nourish the skin. Hemp oil is also non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog pores, making it a great choice for people with acne-prone skin.
Emerald hemp oil is hydrating + moisturizing. It can help to soothe dry, irritated skin and restore its natural moisture barrier. Additionally, EMERALD hemp oil contains antioxidants that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors.
EMERALD CBD Oil
EMERALD CBD oil, on the other hand, is extracted from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the hemp plant and contains cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. EMERALD CBD oil is a popular product because of its potential anti-inflammatory and soothing effects on the skin.
This oil can help to calm irritated skin and reduce redness and inflammation. It may also help to regulate oil production in the skin, making it a great choice for people with oily or acne-prone skin. In addition, some research suggests that CBD oil may have antioxidant properties, which can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Which One to Choose?
When it comes to choosing between EMERALD hemp oil and EMERALD CBD oil for facial use, it ultimately comes down to personal preference and the desired effects. If you're looking for a moisturizing oil that can help to hydrate and nourish the skin, EMERALD hemp oil may be the way to go. However, if you're looking for an oil that can help to soothe irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and regulate oil production, EMERALD CBD oil may be a better choice.
