Posted on by

Hemp in cosmeticsCosmetic products containing hemp are increasingly popular with consumers – but just what are the scientifically proven benefits of hemp oil and extracts, and where, and when, are they permitted to be used in cosmetics? What is the difference between the approved form of cannabis and CBD?

In this video, Belinda Carli, Director of the Institute of Personal Care Science goes through the differences between the types of cannabis out there, as well as the scientifically proven benefits to skin of CBD and hemp. She also goes through the regulatory restrictions, limits and permitted inputs currently in place in the US, EU, ASEAN regions, Australia, NZ and Canada for the use of hemp and CBD in cosmetics. There are also very specific marketing claims allowed and prohibited that brands and formulators must be aware of.

She also goes through the exciting innovations in this sector, and the evidence supporting their use in personal care. Innovations include hemp oil with and without CBD, encapsulated hemp oils, encapsulated CBD with standardized inputs and even cannabis plant stem cells.

  1. This information is new to me. I already knew that hemp and cbd is administered as food but as a cosmetic is new to me. Thanks for sharing this.

  2. Cannabis never really stops amazing me. I love how we can use it as a medicine, as part of our skincare, and now as part of woman’s cosmetics. Amazing indeed!
