Cannabis Sativa Sprout

Cannabis sativa sprout is an extract derived from the young shoots of the cannabis plant, prepared before flowering. It functions primarily as a skin conditioner in cosmetic formulations.The sprout material contains various plant compounds including amino acids, minerals, and phytochemicals. When processed into an extract, these components are intended to support skin's moisture retention and overall texture.

Cannabis sativa sprout extract works primarily through its skin-conditioning action, which involves supporting the skin's natural moisture barrier. The plant compounds in the extract may help skin retain water, improving hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss.Some of the bioactive constituents may also have antioxidant properties, potentially helping to neutralise free radicals, though the clinical significance of this in skincare products remains uncertain.

Cannabis sativa sprout extract is typically found in moisturisers, serums, and treatment products where it functions as part of a broader formula. Use according to the product instructions; as with any new ingredient, patch test first if you have sensitive skin to ensure compatibility.

Cannabis sativa sprout extract is generally considered well-tolerated in skincare products. It contains negligible to no THC or CBD in cosmetic formulations, so it will not produce psychoactive effects.
