Cannabis Sativa Flower … Stem Extract

Cannabis sativa extract is derived from the flowers, leaves, and stems of the cannabis plant. It contains cannabinoids and other phytochemicals that have been incorporated into skincare formulations for their potential antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties.In cosmetic use, this ingredient is valued primarily for its ability to help protect skin from environmental stressors and support the skin's natural barrier function. It does not contain significant levels of THC or CBD in typical skincare products.

The extract's antioxidant effect is thought to come from its phytochemical profile, which includes compounds that can neutralise free radicals—unstable molecules that contribute to skin ageing and inflammation. This protective mechanism may reduce oxidative damage and support the skin's natural repair processes.Additionally, the extract's skin-conditioning properties work to reinforce the skin barrier, helping to lock in moisture and maintain skin suppleness. This dual action—protection and hydration—can help the skin maintain a more balanced and resilient state.

Cannabis sativa extract is typically incorporated into serums, moisturisers, and balms. It integrates well into most skincare routines and can be used morning and evening as part of a regular regimen. Start with products containing this extract at lower concentrations if you have sensitive skin, and monitor your skin's response over 2-4 weeks before deciding if it suits your routine.

Generally well-tolerated and safe for topical use. No significant adverse effects are documented at typical cosmetic concentrations. Individuals with known cannabis sensitivity should patch-test first.
