In recent years, cannabidiol (CBD) has gained immense popularity, especially in the skincare industry. As consumers seek natural solutions for various skin concerns, CBD has emerged as a key ingredient in many products. But what exactly is CBD, and how does it differ from Cannabis Oil or Hemp Oil? In this blog, delve into the world of CBD, its legality, accepted uses and incredible skincare benefits. Also, discover how GlyMed Plus ensures the safety and effectiveness of its certified CBD skincare products as part of its commitment to quality and purity.

WHAT IS CBD?

CBD is one of the many cannabinoids or compounds found in cannabis sativa plants. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the psychoactive component of the Cannabis family which means it's responsible for creating that high effect that you can fill in the brain and in the body. 

CBD, on the other hand, is a non-psychoactive component of the Cannabis sativa family. It will not get you “high” or alter your body's perception or mental state in any way.

HOW CBD DIFFERS FROM CANNABIS OIL AND HEMP OIL

While often used interchangeably, CBD Oil, cannabis Oil and Hemp Oil have distinct differences:

• CBD Oil: Specifically contains CBD, extracted from the flowers, leaves and stalks of the cannabis plant. It may also contain traces of THC, depending on the source and extraction method. Most manufacturers extract CBD from hemp, a cannabis plant with a low amount of THC.
• Cannabis Oil: A broader term that refers to oils derived from the cannabis plant, which can contain various cannabinoids, including THC and CBD. The effects and legality of cannabis oil vary widely based on its THC content and local laws.
• Hemp Oil: Derived from the seeds of the hemp plant, it contains little to no CBD or THC. Hemp Oil is often used as a cooking oil or as a nutritional supplement, but it does not provide the same skincare benefits as CBD Oil. 

IS CBD LEGAL?

The legality of CBD varies based on local regulations. In the United States, the 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp and any cannabis derivatives with 0.3 percent THC or less from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). However, state laws can differ regarding CBD products. Fortunately, you never have to worry about GlyMed Plus CBD skincare as it contains zero traces of THC, making it legal in all 50 states.

Accepted Uses of CBD

CBD is widely recognized for its potential therapeutic benefits, particularly in skincare. It is commonly used to address:

• Inflammation: CBD has soothing properties that can help reduce redness and irritation in the skin.
• Acne: By regulating oil production and possessing antibacterial properties, CBD may help prevent breakouts.
• Eczema and Psoriasis: The soothing effects of CBD can relieve symptoms of these chronic skin conditions.
• Signs of Aging: CBD’s antioxidant properties can help combat oxidative stress, which contributes to premature aging.

Ensuring Safety and Effectiveness of CBD Skincare Products

When choosing a CBD skincare product, it's crucial to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Here are some tips:

• Check for Third-Party Testing: Reputable brands have their CBD products tested by a third party. This process ensures accurate cannabinoid content and verifies the products are free from harmful contaminants. Our CBD products are licensed by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDF), ensuring compliance with state regulations. We also provide a certificate of analysis from the UDAF for each of our CBD products, assuring our customers of their quality and safety. 
• Look for Certification: Certifications indicate that a company adheres to industry standards and best practices. GlyMed Plus is proud to be certified by Google, META and more, ensuring the integrity and quality of our CBD products.
• Review Ingredient Sources: High-quality CBD should come from reputable sources. GlyMed Plus partners with one of the best farms for CBD, using CO2 extraction methods that eliminate all THC. This process results in 100 percent pure CBD Oil, ensuring the highest quality for our customers.

• Soothing: Its calming abilities can alleviate irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
• Antioxidant Protection: CBD combats free radicals, which can damage skin cells and accelerate aging.
