INCI: Cannabis Sativa L Extraction: CO2 Extraction Strength: 1% (Low CBD) Country of Origin: Holland
CBD (or Cannabidiol) is extracted fro the Cannabis Sativa plant (Hemp). Hemp and hemp extractions (in its numerous forms) has a long history of medicinal, nutritional and cosmetic use and is considered among the most valuable of oils. CBD oil is extracted by CO2 extraction of the flowers, buds and leaves buds of plant to isolate the cannabinoids. This is then blended with hemp seed oil as a carrier to produce a premium quality, none-psychoactive oil.
The body’s endocannabinoid system has a role in maintaining homeostasis, regulating functions such as appetite, mood, pain and inflammation (amongst others). Cannabidiol interacts with the endocannabinoid system, helping optimise balance and harmony by balancing lipid production of the nervous system receptors.
